I've tried jim beam and no, it is not good for the price. I think I've had better experiences with Evan Williams and Old Granddad, not that those are good either. Sadly you really do get what you pay for with bourbon. Unless someone knows some magical awesome cheap bourbon I don't know about. Fortunately there IS good cheap Cognac, which is close.

Sadly you really do get what you pay for with bourbon. 1) Purchase low grade alcohol 2) Purchase Britta Filter Pitcher 3) Run low grade alcohol through pitcher 3b) Use Erlehmeyer Flask, Kjeldahl Bulb, and Graham Condenser to further distill/heat filter liquor. A separate vacuum flask can be purchased for further filtration. 4) Lower alcohols temperature with dry ice 5) Filter again (Using either vacuum flask or britta filter) 6) Consume alcohol This is how we made rot gut class 6 bottom shelf booze taste a little better.

How long did that filtration process take you grunts to complete? Youre talking about a group of people that drank hard booze every single night. The lab gear paid off. Room temp filtration was a few minutes per pass. Cold Filter was a lot longer due to the added glycol. Its like an 1hr long process usually. Plus, we could easily make high proof white lightning too. The monetary savings were pretty drat good too. Never got caught either.

Real hurthling! posted:nothing on earth is worth that much per pour. bourbon needs like a decade to cool off again. nobody gave a poo poo about bourbon in the vodka crazed 90's/early 00's and production of batches maturing now was too low for current interest. The vodka craze had hip-hop moguls all pushing out their own label of garbage. Bourbon has Mila Kunis. Bourbon wins.

Sadly you really do get what you pay for with bourbon. No you don't. The diminishing returns start kicking in at the $25-$30 mark. Spending more than that for a fifth is just a jerk off.

Here's a video where you have to make a deal with a guy named Burbon so you can acquire an AK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yri29r5oyEE Mr. Burbon will also sing for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI13-N8io50 Burbon also likes to fap when under pressure: https://youtu.be/4d5yRGjUtAw?t=5s "Quick! Hide in that corner and watch how uncle Bourbon do it"

It's pretty hard to get right now as there's a shortage, though. Old Forester Signature for the same price is just as good and readily available

Buffalo Trace is yum but this explains why my local big liquor store hasn't had any for a while, how sad. We don't get a lot of different bourbon around these parts and the other couple I've tried were garbage so just gonna stick with scotch until THEY GET THEIR poo poo TOGETHER.

Bulleit makes a pretty drat good bourbon. It's barely a bourbon, though, they use the bare minimum percentage of corn in the mash and put in a fuckload of rye instead so it's like some sort of weird hybrid whiskey. poo poo's tasty, though. I miss when I could drop 30 bucks on a bottle.
