Bulleit Bourbon

[woodywoodford]

I hate to do this to my trusty Woodford reserve, but lately I've been in love with this Bulleit stuff. Problem is I feel like a douche talking about it cause I don't know the name. How the eff do you pronounce this delicious concoction?

Hahaha

I was reading the thread title and wondering the exact same thing. :nut:

Funny given the OPs handle.

This is my favourite bourbon. You should be able to pronounce it too.

Don't get me wrong, Woody's always got a special place in my bar, but sometimes you just gotta mix things up haha.

The youtube video clears things up pretty well. "Bullet". I've had a bartender tell me it was called "Boolay", which just confused the crap out of me at the time.

For the money Bulliet is awesome. Good as an everyday drink. for a bit more money i like Blanton's

I might have to try this one. I was gonna get a bottle of Jefferson's Reserve the other day...anybody tried it? Ultimately I couldn't justify a $70 bottle on a whim so I passed.

Jefffersons is one I've been meaning to try keep wanting to find it cheap in the US, for the same $$ reason.
I've got a small collection of bourbons with my prizes being a Papy Van Winkle 20 year, a Blanton's Special Reserve and a bottle of Bookers; all of those just roll off the tongue and massage your taste buds.
Rest consists of common stuff as I tried out different bottles, Makers Mark, Bulleit, Rowans Creek, Eagle Rare, Kirkland, Buffalo Trace, Woodford, Knob Creek, a few more I've probably forgotten..I just buy more any time I'm down in the States where they are 1/3 the price.

But something is seriously wrong with me because my "daily drinker bottle is...Wild Turkey 101.... Don't know wth is wrong with my taste buds, they just keep going back to the stuff though.

Suprisingly the kirkland is quite drinkable. I was suprised that it was priced higher than standard jim beam/evan williams stuff too.

The Jeffersons is worth the tariff IMO if you like your bourbon. My goto is the regular Makers Mark though, and on special days Makers Mark 46. Basil Hayden's is also intersting if you're in the mood for something on the lighter side.

My current favorite:

Haven't tried Kirkland yet. I bought it for a cousin in law for his birthday, thinking I'd get a taste, but the bastard never opened it :rofl:

I recently found out that Portland makes a few bourbons and they're pretty good. I thought nowhere outside of Kentucky really did. There is a multi-distillery tour deal there too.

[Horatio]

where do you guys find this stuff? I gave up looking for anything beyond Makers Mark and Woodford awhile back. I guess it's time to restart the hunt.

The Kirkland is really good and not pricey. $35 for 1L($20 in the US)

Coop liquor store on 11th ave sw has pretty good selection, also willow park by south center

If in the NW, Crowfoot liquor has a not bad selection as well. Prices seem to vary with coop though, they charge a little more for Eagle rare but are cheaper for bulleit.

I just finished a Justified (TV series) binge, all seasons viewed in a week. It was Papy Van Winkle this, Papy Van Winkle that, buying a bottle on the weekend to see what the fuss was about. The ultimate product placement, a character that loves the stuff.

I've also been curious about that one, it's what they're drinking in the beginning of The Internship also. Never heard of it until then, now it seems to be everywhere.
