[QUOTE="glpease, post: 194082, member: 18"] Bulliet makes a superb Manhattan, especially with Carpano Antica vermouth. There's 30% rye in the mash bill, so it's got a nice rye spice, without being dominated by it. It's a nice bourbon, especially at the price. (On the other hand, High West's Rendezvous Rye is one of the most exquisite expressions of Rye Whisky I've ever tasted.) I'm quite taken with 1792 Ridgemont Reserver, a small batch Bourbon that comes out of Bartons Brands. This thing has a nose that goes on for days. I could spend an hour just smelling it. Best neat. The stuff out of Buffalo Trace and Van Winkel is brilliant, too. I was lucky enough to taste the Pappy Van Winkle 20 year, and it was magic in a glass. Too 'spensive for my budget, though. There's a sort of new renaissance in US brown spirits, and some brilliant things are showing up from smaller distilleries. Quite exciting. For years, I was strictly a malt drinker, but I've turned more attention to bourbons and ryes in recent years, and am glad for it. Laphroaig, by the way, is still available at Trader Joes for about $37, significantly lower than in most stores. Too bad they don't have the Quarter Cask. [/QUOTE]
