Bourbon and Whiskey

[huntnfish]

Tried out a couple different bourbons in the last few weeks. The local store had Redemption on sale. It was good over ice and fairly smooth. 

Also tried Basil Hayden for the first time. I found it on sale also and have to say this may be my new favorite for sipping. Very smooth with no bite at all. I got the bottle for under $30 and plan to grab a couple more before they’re off sale.

Where did you find the great deal on Basil Hayden? Total Wine seems to have good prices but locally it is a little more expensive.

It was a coborns owned store in ND. I stopped into one in MN today and it was also on sale there but it was $34. I’d still be happy paying that price.

Breakfast of champions!

Do you just substitute bourbon for the vodka? I’m not a Bloody Mary drinker. I can do about one a year but I make mine with Clamato. I can’t do tomato juice except on a plane. It’s never been the vodka that turned me off on them but bourbon sure makes it more appealing.

Yes, I prefer bourbon over vodka in my bloody. Speaking of clamato, I like to mix Zing Zang 50/50 with clamato juice for the base.

Zing Zang is a good base mix!!!!

Picante Clamato (yellow top) is our favorite, especially for bloody beers.

 

Yeah, those look good for breakfast!

[Mike89]

Might try this one in my bloody next time if I can get my hands on a bottle.....
