Old Crow

[bunburyist]

just picked up a bottle, pretty cheap and not too bad at all. Stands up to the bigger brands imo.

First time I've seen it here in Hong Kong, pleasant surprise.

It's not bad if you use it as a mixer.

Whats popular in HK?

JD and JB of course, but also Maker's Mark seems quite popular. Occasionaly see Knob Creek and some such. Not too much depth to the market here as people only seem to use it as a mixer, rather than on its own merits.

I actually thought Old Crow is nice enough on its own. Has quite a strong corn nose and aftertaste, but the finish doesn't last long at all. Quite sweet. If anything too sweet for a mixer - unless you have a lot of ice

Old Crow Reserve was recently released here in the states. It's aged 4 years, 3 bucks more that OC and is an excellent everyday bourbon.

Also, I have been drinking Maker's 46 recently and it is amazing.

Had a fantastic mint julep in a bar the other day,made with Blantons original bourbon,

Enjoyed it so much,I had a shot on it's own.

Rich but mellow,just right.

A bit more body than the usual bourbons,

Loved it,and I don't usually enjoy bourbon.
