        Not a bad drink for $22. Not amazing but have had worse at higher price points.

        Surg Just purchased Rebel 80 proof and if I didn’t know the price, would’ve thought it was a pretty darn good 80 proof bourbon. I bought the 80 proof because 3-4 guys I share with like that proof more than the 100+ bottles. I grabbed it from the shelf and my eyes popped when a 16.99 + tax came up on the register.16342581459599141913690583491405.jpg

            HerbcoFood At least he tried to be honest. The real β€œbenchmark” would be if he would mix some high priced and low priced together in a β€œblind” tasting and then β€œtaste”. Our group has found that real β€œblind” tastings are the best and many times, the lower priced models beat the higher priced. Thanks for the link. It’s entertaining for a noon review on a Friday.

              zbigjeff Yeah those blind tastes need to happen more often, then you’d see a lot of the highly sought after bottles actually collect dust on the shelf in stores. I think too many people don’t want to sit back and trust their own taste buds, they rely on some guy who drinks various amounts of bourbon.

                One of my favorite fall drinks. I heat some fresh apple cider and mull with some spices (ussually allspice, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon). Mix about 2 parts cider with 1 part Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire cinnamon whiskey. I mixed a few of these camping with just the cider, whiskey and a cinnamon stick and it was great. I’ve done them as a cold drink also. I do not use or drink Fireball since it is way to sweet for my taste.

                    I did a blind test of 5 whiskeys a few years ago. first round chilled neat, second round with a tsp. of coke per 1.5oz shot.
                    My order of preference first to last was exactly reversed

                        Tried a new drink I saw using bourbon, lemon juice, and a bit of maple syrup. Came out pretty good. A little sweet but nothing adding more bourbon can’t fix. πŸ€ͺ
