I bought a bottle of Jefferson's Reserve Old Rum Cask Finish whiskey at Christmas time. It's the best whiskey I've ever had in my life. Period! It's a touch pricey but very well worth it.

Sounds nice!
My son-in-law won a bottle of Pappy, I told him it would be a great gift for his father in law, after all I let him marry my daughter who is no doubt the best thing that ever happened to him.

I like a good whiskey, I'll have to try it. My favorite whiskey is Maker's Mark.

I haven't had that particular expression from Jefferson Reserve, but their "Ocean" is also good. They actually load the barrels onto a ship and sail it around to pick up the sea spray.

My go-to bourbon, though, is Four Roses Single Barrel. Delicious, spicy due to the high rye content in the mash bill, and not crazy expensive.

Paulcat we r talking about "bourbon" whiskey right ? - as I don't know anything about Jefferson's

Tiptree, four roses single barrel is my favorite as well. Too coldly for me as a daily pour. Elijah Craig occupies that role.

them must have really changed the quality of 4 roses as it was rotgut when I was growing up.

stuff teenagers got when nothing else was available and it was cheap

I don’t care for the regular four roses, but the single barrel is like drinking a great dessert to me.

Are you sure you aren't talking about Boone's Farm, or MD 20/20 UKCATFANFL? LOL

Strawberry Hill for the win in high school.

I grew up in a dry county, which was no big deal. Bootleggers don’t ask for ID.

Ed is right. The basic "Four Roses" is as close to rot-gut as one can get. But their top-tier expressions are excellent.

Now, MD20-20 and Boones Farm bring back some memories. Awful ones, but definitely memories.

BCD, I grew up in a dry county too. Never had to deal with bootleggers... Just drove across the county line. If you were tall enough to see above the counter, you could buy. [Smile]

I also grew up in a dry county which is located on the state line separated by the Ohio River. Now I live in the county that bordered my county. The county I grew up in is now wet, with 3 liquor stores. My mother is besides herself. She's been a tetotaler my entire life!
