I've become a one-bourbon drinker of late, Wild Turkey 101. I find it superior to it's weaker sibling. I've never been a straight sipper, always blend with a little ginger ale. But I'm quite satisfied with its smoky, earthy taste and smooth finish. It's priced right by the handle also.
JR By odd coincidence, I found an empty 200ml plastic bottle of Wild Turkey 101 at the end of my driveway this morning. Must be a nice size for country cruising and chucking at mailboxes. Never, ever seen Wild Turkey in a plastic bottle. JR

Bourbon featured in the movies- why not-- (1) Terms of Endearment- when Shirley Maclaine orders some Wild Turkey in the restaurant luncheon scene with Jack Nicholson, she didn't specify 86 or 101 proof. whatever it was they were drinking, the scene on the beach in the top down Corvette was a classic.. Two brands of whiskey seen in the Redford-Newman classic "The Sting" One is a bourbon mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the other is a fine whiskey indeed, but not a true bourbon whiskey-- any guesses? And last, but not least, again with Paul Newman and George C. Scott-- "The Hustler"-- have never found J.T.S. Brown anywhere in the Midwest-- maybe someday. Rebel Yell, yes- but NO to J.T.S. Brown. He must have been a important gentleman in his day, to have 3 initials for a first name?? RWTF

No ice, no glass. Yup, Foxy, Old Bushmill is not a bourbon but nice.

You, sir, are correct. Redford pours a tumbler of Bushmills in the ending scene of the movie- and Ezra Brooks is the ad painted on the brick wall of a building in Chicago where the greasy spoon diner scenes took place. Also a bit of truth in that casting, as "Dutch" Schultz often used female "hit men" in his NYC based organization. Real surname was Fleggenheimer.. RWTF

I tried for years to find some Virginia Gentleman on the shelves, to no avail. Why? Because Gene Hill wrote about it and I just wanted to try some.

Stan, I still use some VG fairly often. It is no longer made by Smith-Bowman in Northern Virginia and is now under Sazerac ownership. It is distilled down south and redistilled?? in Virginia. Still tastes OK, but does not have the history of the old product. When it was distilled locally, it outsold Jim Beam and Jack Daniel. No more. It is now described in the trade as a bottom shelf bourbon not actively advertised by the Sazerac corporation.

Recently discovered here is Ezra Brooks rye.
Indiana product, so undoubtedly MGP/LDI sourced.
State minimum here is $15.99, and this 90 proof rye is simply remarkable at this price point.
