My son heard how good Maker's Mark was so he bought some. He didn't care for it. I didn't get to try it. He had noticed that anytime there is a bottle of booze showing in the background of a movie or TV show it was Maker's Mark! We got a magazine from SPEC'S LIQUOR STORES and it rated the best bourbons/whiskeys. sipping whiskeys. We are using that as our shopping guide as we try different ones. Southern Comfort used to be good, but it is just SWEET now, with no other flavors coming through. It used to have a very full flavor. I don't know what is different, the ingredients or the process or the equipment - but it isn't as good as it was a few years ago.

Nope have to disagree. I live close to the Woodford Reserve Distillery. Best stuff you can drink. The only way to drink it is on ice with a splash of spring water. Once you have tried it you will never go back to Maker's. Sorry I am putting money in Brown Foreman's pocket but I won't give up my Woodford Reserve.

knob creek bourbon.
If you ever wondered what was behind the grimace of Humphrey Bogart or John Wayne as they drank some nonspecific mixture in the movies of yesteryear, Knob Creek Bourbon Whiskey is an edifying experience. The key word in its extended name is "Straight"- this is alcohol first (100 proof) and beverage second. It has a dark, sharp flavor with very little of the sweetness that characterizes bourbons like Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, and Old Crow. What sweetness it does possess takes the form of a subdued, almost smoky syrup-like undertone.

Buy Knob Creek Bourbon.

There is something refreshing about the flavor of Knob Creek Bourbon - in the way that standing out in the freezing cold until half of you burns and the other half is numb is refreshing. Even Wild Turkey and Old Grandad are not the trial by fire that Knob Creek is. To the less experienced bourbon drinker, Knob Creek burns in such a way that the drinker is torn between being proud of having swallowed it and the urge to immediately wipe the taste from memory. The flavor reminds you of the very pain that alcohol supposedly undoes, elusive to the degree it is intense, unremitting...It is a fine bourbon for the "man on a mission" when that mission is to get drunk via a merciless and honest (for aren't all merciless things ultimately honest) bourbon. Knob Creek had a brief advertising campaign a year or so ago. It had no laughing, socializing people in it. No indication is made of the of the goodtime possibilities of this drink. The ads consisted of the label, blown up to ad size. I realize now that this was the closest I have come in my short life to truth in advertising. The reason is this, Knob Creek is a bourbon of reckoning.
