Port and Bourbon
I'm about as light of a drinker as you can get (I'm a lightweight to boot  in the alcohol dept, not the belly dept), but I enjoy port. Anyone else like it? My favorite is Whiskers Blake Tawny Port. I just bought two bottles Saturday as a Christmas present to my dad and my father-in-law.
In the bourbon dept I like Makers Mark. My wife has an aunt and uncle in KY and last year while on a visit her uncle took us to the MM distillery in Loretta. Beautiful place and since they were so hospitible they're now my favorite bourbon. It's really is good, too.

Re: Port and Bourbon
Love Makers Mark. I have also grown to like Knob Creek as much if not more, and Woodland Reserve is a good buy for the price.
I know Rob is a fan of Bourbon as well so maybe he has some thoughts.
My girlfriend really likes Port, while I tend to like Sherry a lot....different strokes for different folks.

Re: Port and Bourbon
Ummmmm......bourbon.
All the bourbons that Johnny mentioned are some of the best. A few others that I enjoy are Buffalo Trace,Pappy Van Winkle{can be expensive},and Jim Beam Black Label{can't drink white label}.
Many more I want to try.
Cheers!!!

Re: Port and Bourbon
Maker's Mark. Simply the best all-round bourbon on the planet, and I've had some pretty special ones. Winter wheat = fabulous bourbon, apparently.
I kind of like the Taylor Fladgate Ports I've had, but I'm no expert at all. I just know I like the stuff.

Re: Port and Bourbon
Woodford Reserve = super smooth and mild
Basil Hayden = smooth with a full flavor and perfect with a pipe or cigar.

Re: Port and Bourbon
Oops forgot to add, Austrailian Ports all taste good to me, but are a rare treat.

 Re: Port and Bourbon
Last evening I had a strawberry banana margarita-it gave me the biggest headache I have had in years... will be a LONG while before I do that again! We've heard it takes much less up here in the higher elevations to get tipsy...

Re: Port and Bourbon
Had my first experience with Port this evening. The stuff is sweet,almost too sweet. Think I'll stay with brandy and bourbon.
