I’ve got a mate whos a big fan of Bourbon. He’s tried all the standard brands like Buffalo Trace, JD, Jim Beam and Wild Turkey.
I want to get him a bottle for Xmas of something he might not have tried before, something I can say was recommended by Americans as a good bourbon. Doesn’t need to be some weird flavour like Red Stag, just old fashioned American bourbon that maybe flies under the radar in other countries.
Some great options in this thread but I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Blanton’s.
The bottle makes it feel like more of a gift, and the taste is sublime.
Blanton’s is very good at MSRP, but it’s hard to find at a good price and the second hand market value is pretty high.
No one can afford it.
yeah that one’s hard to get. Gotta go camp out at their factory sometimes and they limit you to once every 6 months!!
Blantons is so unique, lots of collectability with the different horse/jockey poses on the cap.
