Gave me a wicked headache. Or the watered down version of Early Times they sell at the grocery store (<40 proof)- that's pretty bad too. I guess you haven’t had Ancient Age?

I do think Woodford is well beyond "decent" as you say in your original post. Also, with the Kentucky Derby coming up in a few weeks I have some more advice. Steer clear of the Mint Julep. Take it from a Kentucky boy. They are highly overrated. That's what we serve the out-of-staters. Stick with some good bourbon neat or on the rocks. Leave the mint to the cooks. It just occurred to me with our due date being May 5th we might well have us a Derby baby! How cool would that be?

I knew you'd have something to say about the Bourbon. And, of course, I agree. Anything at or above Jim Beam I'll drink on the rocks- all night long. Though at home (i.e. right now) I tend to sip on Old Crow and diet. I was SO waiting for that comment! I knew you’d have something to say about the Bourbon.

For sure the most bourbon bang for the buck. Shots of bourbon are overrated though. For my money I like to drink decent bourbon mixed with Coke (Maker's Mark, Knob Creek, even Beam). Great bourbons I like to drink on the rocks. One cube per 2 oz. or so. (Woodford, Baker's, Blanton's, Basil). Exceptional bourbons I like to drink neat. (Woodford and Blanton's again, Pappy Van Winkle 12, 15 and 20 year old, Booker's, Weller 12 and 19 year) There is one that tops the list. Pappy Van Winkle Special 23 year old. If you ever see this, buy it immediately. I'll give you 25% over what you paid. And If I ever see you add a mixer or ice to this one I'll probably hit you. If you are ever in Central Kentucky (my roots), you have to take the <a href="http://www.kentuckybourbontrail.com" rel="nofollow">Bourbon Trail</a>! Woodford is a good choice.
