J&B is a blend of scotch whiskies, not a bourbon. I'm not a massive bourbon drinker, but Makers, Woodfords, **** Creek are nice once in a while, although Bookers is very expensive, but haven't tried it........

My tipple is Johnnie Walker Black Label, which is a scotch blend and is superb, IMO......

Doesn't necessarily tell you which you'll like, but some impressive prices!!

That's a great link 2000T. I can tick off the ones I've tried.

Just imbibing a few drops of the Bulleit as I write; very nice, although not quite the depth of flavour of the Maker's Mark I had last birthday.

Thanks, Tam, BTW.

It's only the years in the cask that count towards its value, not the ones in the bottle.

A fuller review once you've recovered would be appreciated. I've seen the Bulleit in Sainsbury's, and it's a fair bit cheaper than the Maker's Mark. (MM available for £24 at Oddbins, or £22 at Waitrose; needless to say it's $25 in the US.)

Blantons is fantastic, but you have to pay for it as it is expensive.
Another vote for Makers Mark and Wild Turkey.

Eagle Rare is also really good. Bakers and Bookers are good Small Batch.

Also like Elijah Craig and Four Roses.

Basically I've never had a bourbon I don't like!!

A year! What do you mean a year!
I only popped out to try a few of the suggestions.
Bloody hell, that bourbon was good stuff.

tried woodford, mm, jd, jb, wild turkey, **** creek e.t.c. All very nice and subtly different (I mix with coke) but I must say Sainsbury's own brand at a tenner is just as good.
