In Reply to: ". . . not afraid to use my top shelf whiskey . . . " posted by tlea on March 3, 2025 at 06:52:02:
Yeah, bourbon was my serious entry into whisk(e)y in '07 and is still my favorite spirit but I lean to ryes in old fashioneds and manhattans because to my palate rye is not quite as sweet as bourbon, generally. BTW, exploring different whiskies was easier during the "glut". Prices were reasonable, too. All of a sudden, collectors and flippers jumped in, prices went up, some of the better offerings became "allocated", and you had to enter "lotteries" for the privilege of overpaying for bourbon/rye.
I use Four Roses Small Batch Select bourbon in boulevardier and paper plane cocktails. I've experimented with vermouths as well. At the moment, the sweet vermouth of choice is Dolin for both bourbon and gin cocktails that call for sweet/red vermouth.
