Bourbon...

Out of tonic for the gin so I improvised.

I posted this one earlier, but no picture - Beam's choice, Green Label. Been my preference since around 1971. Not easy to find these days, as the white label is everywhere and Beam seems to have gotten into flavored bourbons (shudder) as options.

Jim Beam has been making bourbon since 1795, and I think they have it worked out pretty well.

I've honestly only ever had the black and white label. Neither are bad in all honesty, they're not as sweet as maker's mark and Jameson's - which I know isn't Bourbon, but it's in a similar price range and in all honesty is kind of my benchmark for whiskey that I dislike. But anyways, yeah, I'm certainly no pro taster that sniffs three different times out of his glencairn before tasting it - but I can dig it every now and then.
