Substituting maple syrup for simple syrup is also a viable option if you want a bit of a different flavor.

On another note, what are folks' opinions about Flatboat as a run-of-the-mill bourbon, to use as something comparable to Makers Mark, for instance?
Wife had a new fashion the other day same concept, but the ice cube were infused orange juice and cranberry juice(I think) and she loved it

Never have tried the flatboat. See at the store all the time but never pulled the trigger

Lots of great bourbon. Some stuff I've liked, of late, is J. Mattingly's Bourbon 30 brands. I've had Bronze Beauty and Harmonie. They aren't cheap, I'm not sure it tastes like it's truly a bourbon, and it gets panned by critics. But it sure tastes fine to me.

Cheap stuff: Fighting Cock, VOB

Midrange: George Dickel BIB 100 proof, Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve, Bib & Tucker, Old Grandad 117

High end: I'm poor

I've sworn off Costco "Private Bottlings" since they came out with that Tenn. "Bourbon" dreck a few years ago. My god, that **** was awful.

I threw up in the Costco liquor store once. Not bourbon related but it did have a little to do with some bad scallops and a bottle of $3 tequila.

love,
Hort.
Should I ask why you were drinking a $3 bottle of tequila? That does not even meet the FDA approval🤣

My rural Tennessee bourbon hunt was fruitless. Got a bottle of eagle rare whoopty doo.

Anyone watched the Heist documentary on Netflix about the dudes stealing pappy?

Cool, but basically a huge BT ad.

Had a pour of Wilderness Trail at a bar the other night. I thought it was really good. Haven’t heard much about it.

I bought an Elijah Craig Small Batch today. One of the very best out there regardless of price.
I've been getting that for $17.80 a bottle the last few weeks -- with free socks. My liquor cabinet is looking good, and my Christmas shopping is near complete!

Bought a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch Select. I like small batch and single barrel. I can’t tell you how much I hate this bottle.
