[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 190051, member: 36"] I've yet to try Bookers, and as I remember it to be a $40 bottle, it may be some time. If you try some of these better bourbons, which can be had in NC for $25-$30, I think you'll save money compared to single-malt and still enjoy a sturdy beverage. I can make no comparisons between single-malt and bourbon as I've not drunk much of it. I think Jim Beam Black is on par with Jack Daniels, more earthy, equally as complex. The two that I've liked the best are Eagle Rare and Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage, 10 y/o when I purchased it; the Evan Williams by far the best of the two. While Eagle Rare has more in common with Jim Beam Red, a lightness of touch, the Evan Williams has a pronounced earthy note, is gloriously thick, sweet, with deep flavors. I love that whiskey! I'm drinking a bottle of Jim Beam Red now and am finding it not a fit companion. I've drunk too much better bourbon and am planning on digging deeply in my wallet to buy another bottle of the Evan Williams. However, I don't plan on getting into the $40 or $50 bottles anytime soon. Are they worth it? If so in what way? I'd love to be drinking single-malt but am not prepared to pay for it. [/QUOTE]
