Bourbon County, Seattle, USA and Noises Episode #7 (11/23/10) "Wild Turkey Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey"



Jeremy: Surprisingly I have never tasted Wild Turkey before tonight. I'm glad that Drew brought it over. It's an excellent bourbon that goes down nicely even at 101 proof. Celebrate Thanksgiving in style and drink some Wild Turkey before you feel bad from overeating.

Drew:Wild Turkey is one of the more famous bourbons out there, due to it being namechecked by illustrious folk such as Hunter S. Thompson. It's definitely the smokiest of the bourbons I've tasted as well but it still goes down smooth unlike some of the extra smokey scotchs. It's certainly one of the best 100+ proof bourbons and it's not too expensive at that. A worthy addition to any liquor cabinet and with Thanksgiving on the way, there's no better excuse to indulge yourself and fill up on Turkey.

Bourbon County, Seattle, USA and Noises Special Election Episode #6 (10/30/10) "Old Granddad Bonded Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey"


Drew says: Old Granddad bonded bourbon, crafted under government supervision, is among the best of the high rye content/high proof bourbons I've tasted and its pretty reasonably priced as well. For a 100 proof bourbon it doesn't burn like hell going down (like a certain Fighting Cock) which is much appreciated. It's strong but easily drinkable. There's no real point in mixing it with anything FYI. Good job government!

Jeremy says: Agreed, Old Granddad bonded is a fine choice for a high proof, budget bottle of bourbon. I guess Bourbon County, Seattle USA and Noises endorses the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897!

Bourbon County, Seattle, USA and Noises Special Spooky Halloween Episode #5 (10/24/10) "Ancient Age Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey"


Jeremy says: Ancient Age is a decent cheap bourbon. Don't buy it expecting anything that will taste very good, but if you want a simple bourbon that won't offend the naive palate then it is a decent affordable choice.

Drew says: Ancient Age is pretty unimpressive but okay for the price. Though, considering there's better and (slightly) cheaper bourbon out there (Evan Williams Green Label), I probably won't ever be buying a bottle of this again. Maybe I'll try a bottle of Ancient Ancient Age at some point as I hear that stuff is pretty good. It gets good marks for packaging design though.

Bourbon County, Seattle, USA and Noises Episode #4 (10/16/10) "Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey"


Jeremy Says: I enjoy Bulleit neat; It's a nice bourbon. Do not mix it with coke though, for some reason the two just don't go together well.

Drew Says: I concur. Very nice bourbon taken straight. More rye than your average bourbon but retains a smoothness. The flavor is weirdly combative with the flavor of Coke as Jeremy mentioned, not sure why, so don't plan on using it as a mixer. Considering its more towards the expensive end of the spectrum though you'll probably be drinking it neat anyway.

Bourbon County, Seattle, USA and Noises Episode #3 (9/19/10) "Elijah Craig Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey"


Jeremy Says: Elijah Craig lives up to the hype. It is a nice bourbon. Flavorful on the tongue with just the right amount of heat on the throat, my only complaint would be that it may be a bit sweet at times. Overall though, it is an excellent drink and well worth the money. I'm guessing at this price point you can't do much better - but we will keep looking! If you enjoy drinking your bourbon neat, then Elijah Craig is a good choice.

Early Times Kentucky Whisky
Jeremy says: "I think it's good. I'd rather drink Early Times than Fighting Cock."

Drew says: "Early Times is a decent cheap whiskey. It has a bit too strong of an alcohol taste for such a low proof. It tastes a lot better if you let it sit and open up though. It does have a very nice, caramel-y scent too especially after sitting out for a while."

Bourbon County, Seattle, USA and Noises Episode #1 (8/21/10) "Fighting Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey"


Fighting Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Jeremy says: "Fighting Cock has a deceptively nice initial taste but then burns like hell going down. Drinking whiskey that burns on the way down may make some people feel more masculine, but that hardly makes it a great product. I guess people who fall for their claim of Fighting Cock as being the 'bourbon man's bourbon' probably also believe that Axe body spray will attract girls."

Drew says: "Fighting Cock seems to be a real paradox of bourbon as it tastes very nice while also feeling like I'm chugging metal shavings. The hyper-violent, hyper-masculinized name/image does not go unearned. I'm pretty sure there is a lot of rye in here as it is super spicey especially when you hold it on your tongue. It's not for the faint of heart as you taste every 103 proof drop that enters your body unless you mix it with something, then the flavor disappears and you could be drinking yourself to an early grave and not even taste it. Note: as foreshadowed in the show Jeremy actually did pass out after making himself some mac & cheese, don't say you weren't warned."
