Okay, must have needed to breath. A little caramel on the nose now. Alcohol bite lessened and smoother.

Some of us grew up hard, moonshine at 15, straight ,no time for chaser, put that stuff in the freezer.....mmmmmmmm and occasionally a little aged liquor tastes good. Put ice cold spring water in freezer cold whiskeys/bourbons, let 'em talk for a few minutes and it is much better. Been practicing this tip I got from distillers like Booker Noe. My Grandfather took a swig about every night for his nerves of something like Lem Motlow's, now that was rough hot and straight.

Ramen was a staple while in the military, Take whatever ''meat'' was in an MRE and put it in the noodles a bit of Tabasco and your good to go. Still eat it at work for a quick meal.

I guess I could honestly think of much worse things by far. For the longest, after my wife and I got married, we tried over 20 different recipes with Ramen. One was general egg drop soup, you put 3 packages of CKN, 1 egg white and a splash of milk. Wasn't too bad

I should add this was when we were in the field or on deployment. We packed as much of those packs away as we could.

If we are talking about good Bourbon.
Here's my list.

Blanton's
Booker's
Wooford
Baker's
Russell's Reserve

I'm by no means an expert this is just the stuff I really enjoy.

Cheers!

unfortunately, currently can't afford much bourbon, luckily had some stored back, don't drink daily, maybe that'll get me through to the ssd hearing......tic,tic,tic,your govt. at work, got a wish list building though, saving for another trip to Bardstown. Lot of cool history there, stayed in the Old Talbot Tavern, offered Jimmie Russell (wild turkey master distilller some homemade, he just sniffed, but the elderly ladies in the gift shop took sips, what a hoot, my wife got a real kick out of that. If you ever get the chance, tour bourbon country, even better go to the festival, but book your rooms a year before!

Funny I barely remember eating in college. Never done Ramen noodles, had to have protein,good ole spam, and Jack Pirtle's chicken (well sometimes I could only afford a biscuit the honey pack was free)

I'm a big fan of Buffalo Trace and Eagles Rare Single Barrel. Also love the Elijah Craig 18 Year. For a cheap no nonsense tasty bourbon, it's Old Crow all the way. Also like Rebel Yell, but that's a little sweet.

For me, best bang for the buck was Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel that I bought from Hasegawa Liquor in Tokyo. For $81 (..at that time…) per 700 ml bottle @120+ proof, it don’t take much to get you “there”. 🥃

I like makers for the money

Wathens is a favorite that cost a little more. I don’t spend much more than wathens on a drink.

Looking at my post from 10 years ago, I’ve evolved.

Inexpensive, don’t mind mixing it with ginger beer or ale and not feel bad about it- Four Roses or Wild Turkey.

The favorite taste per the buck is currently is Buffalo Trace, if it can be found for $33 a bottle.

Early times bottled in bond. 23.99, full liter, honestly better than most 40-50 dollar bourbons I’ve had.

My tastes have evolved as well... I currently have in the house:

Elijah Craig, Buffalo Trace, Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, WT101, WT Rare Breed, WT Kentucky Spirit, 4 Roses Small Batch, 4 Roses Single Barrel, and Knob Creek 12.

Evan Williams BIB... sucks. Mix that with ginger beer or in an old fashioned.
