All I can say is that I almost passed out when Trenton put Coke in that Old Rip Van Winkle. 😂
Me to!
Yeah, my eyes bugged out over here. 😳 Hahaha
At least it wasn't a store-brand cola.
@@brentworls8509 LOL! 😆
@@slbdrinks too
I don't even drink. I just appreciate the father son relationship.
Thank you for the support! I respect your sobriety!
Now that is good stuff Sir.
Beretta9MMUSA Sr.
Bruh. Exactly. I jus live watching them get buzzed off super good whiskey lmao. I drink tho
Once I tried Wild Turkey 101 and Coke Zero, that became my go to whisky cola drink.
101 is super delicious. had coke zero with crown that was good
People pretend they’re above Wild Turkey but it does the job at a great price
For me wild Turkey was too dirty tasting with the Coke Zero. What my go to with Coke Zero I’d have to say would either be angels envy or even basil hayden
As a bourbon fan, I would tend to agree with you as far as flavor goes. But I still would go Jack and Coke over the others because most every time I’m drinking that drink, it’s because I don’t want to get tipsy at some type of event and the lower proof helps me pace myself. This was a great video.
Fighting Cock and Coke for me is a better deal than Jack and Coke.
Try Jack and diet Dr pepper it brings out a cherry note
Jack and Coke always for me
Ginger and bourbon changed my life and got me into whiskey. Great video as always
I love a well made Horse Neck!
Great combo!
Ginger beer?
@@nodaysoff23 Ginger Ale!
Try Ginger beer and some lime. It’s one of my go to summer drinks. It’s fantastic. Good ole Kentucky Mule.
I did the opposite of this and did a blind to determine what is the best cola for cocktails. Mexican coke won
Mexican Coke with TX blended whiskey taste like Vanilla Coke. So good
Mexican coke uses cane sugar. US coke uses a different sweetener
US Coke uses corn syrup and is gross. Mexican Coke ONLY for my Rum or Whiskey and Coke.
Yes it does. Good call
Same. It’s crazy how the “easy” component of a Jack and coke can make such a difference.
I've only been drinking straight whiskeys for a couple of years, but I've been drinking whiskey & soda cocktails for several years. My go-to combos are Bulleit Bourbon & Coke or Sprite, Crown Royal & Coke or Sprite, and Jameson & Dr. Pepper or Ginger Ale.
Just stumbled across your videos a couple days ago and am really enjoying them. I started with Wt101 and coke 21 years ago when i was at the bar with my buddies every night, and about a year ago I switched up to the Kc 9yo and coke, love them both, and they are my drinks of choice, love your videos, keep them coming.
I really enjoy Crown and Coke a cocktail, but also 4 Roses with coke is quite pleasant. If you enjoyed this also try ginger ale!
Canada Dry and Schweppes both work great, but I think ginger beer works better. GB has a little less carbonation so I think the whiskey taste comes through more.
Crown and Coke is so good. Cheers
4 Roses with coke or ginger ale is a go.
Crown and coke or crown and ginger. I’ve even mixed crown green apple and sprite.
Whiskey and ginger ale has been famous for a long time. It's called a highball and one of my favorites.
I saw the thumbnail, and still can't believe u mixed that with coke at the end.. you went all out on that one.. that's why we all appreciate you guys!
I was introduced to Wild Turkey by Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri pipeline roughnecks when I was 19 and have loved it since. Though it was shots with that crew, I very much enjoy a Turkey, rock, and coke splash.. I’ll give Knob Creek 9 a look because of you and your son’s presentations. I love how you two are such good friends as well as family..
I love all Wild Turkey products, but a real fave of mine is Knob Creek 9 very underrated just like 101. Great bourbon so is Bakers
Wild turkey 101 is dangerously good
Great video again guys! A fun video might be some bottles that you all did not like initially at first but came back to and found a different perspective the second time around! Love the content, cheers! 🥃
Trenton showing he absolutely understands the TH-cam algorithm and how to get a rage click by including the ORVW in the thumbnail lol
;)
I prefer 7-Up or Sprite as a soda mixer for whiskey. I think it's cleaner in flavor which helps the whiskey shine. Coke competes too much for me. Great job fellas! Cheers!
Right there with you. I perfer the zero sugar sprite
I have never been a fan of Jack & Coke, although I have had my fair share in my youthful ignorance. I always preferred Beam & Coke, which makes sense because on the odd occasion that I put Coke in my bourbon now, it is Knob Creek. Great video as usual!
I had tried jack years ago and finally decided to try it neat. It was easy to drink and that’s about it. Tried the jack single barrel select and it blew my socks off! One of my favorite bourbons so far!
Regular Jack was 90 proof in the 70s into the early 80s- it was very good mixed with coke. of course. then it went down to 86 proof, then finally the pathetic 80 proof in about 2000. I wrote then a letter of protest, telling them no respectable bourbon is 80 proof. they blathered on about wanting one bottle they could ship to all states, even those with proof restrictions. I reminded them Wild Turkey comes in 2 versions, 80 & 101 for that reason. they sent me a free pass to visit the distillery. didn't go. The Bonded Jack is excellent at 100
I'm strictly a neat man myself, but I do thoroughly enjoy a little SLB Drinks with my whiskey. Also, the only Jack I like is the barrel proof single barrel. It is well worth the price. Would love to try the Coy Hill, but it's a rare gem.
Kurt I took your advice from one of your earlier episodes. I use Old Grandad 114 for all drinks mixed with bourbon...always a great mixer. Another great video guys.
Good idea!
I am new to bourbon and still have a young palette so I prefer a little coke in all my bourbons. I prefer 2 parts bourbon to 1 part coke. I am finding as my palette matures I am using less coke. I can still taste the wonderful bourbon flavors without the burn. My favorite with coke is Weller SR and Russell 10 year. Love all your videos!
This video took me back to my days in the Navy in the 1960’s & 70’s. Even before I watched the video I knew that you would pick Knob Creek as the best combo because Jim Beam Bourbon and coke was the overwhelming drink of choice for us. I enjoy your videos.
Makers and Sprite is actually my go to there. I find that sprite doesn’t mask the flavor of the bourbon as much. Especially with something as sweet an makers.
Makers and sprite is my go to as well.
Nice tip. Thank You Sir from 🇦🇺
Mine too
This was another recent viewer suggestion and I appreciate you guys for jumping on it so fast, as you usually do! Kurt, I'm definitely surprised with all your extensive bourbon experimentation, this was your very first taste of old #7 Jack since it's so many people's beginner. You can always try the vanilla or cherry coke if either are flavors you really love in bourbon, I think I need to try Old Forester 1920 with cherry coke because I get prominent cherry from that one and I definitely love it.
All great ideas! With all these great comments we may just revisit this topic in all sorts of different ways! Maybe in January or February when the whiskey traffic is a little slower.
That viewer should be fined and lashed
You guys have quickly become my favorite Whiskey channel! WT101 is my favorite bourbon to put in Coke! Gotta try the Old Forester 100 in coke, Love it for the budget daily!
This channel is not only entertaining but also educational toward tasting of burboun
If OF Rye makes the best Manhattan's & old fashions, it should be good in soda, too, right?
KURT, TRENTON!!! This might be your best video EVER!!! I'm not much of a JD guy. BUT, 60 mil coconut rum, 45 mil Jack Daniels, 7.5 mil lime juice, 10 mil simple syrup, Shaken, over ice. One of my favorites!!! CHEERS!!!
Nice recipe Tim! A few others suggested lime as well. Sounds delish!
Just got into bourbons this past weekend and stumbled on you guys. You've been very helpful to say the least! And I love the father/son comraderie.
Good luck on your journey in the bourbon world. Favorite bourbon so far?
@@happytomeetyou2047 Wild Turkey Rare Breed! LOVE IT!!! Sadly, very hard to find here but I found it on the other side of town and bought as much as I could get at the time (4 bottles).
Love how Trenton calls his oldman "Bro". Classic
not a video we wanted but its the video we needed haha another great video keep up the good work!
would love to see ur brother in a video if hes ever willing to
I like Crown Royal and Sprite Zero. I like using the Sprite Zero because no sugar usually I use a 24 once cup fill it half way with ice and fill the whiskey to the top of the ice then proceed to put in the rest with the zero. I’m always at home when drinking like this and make it a rule if I’m driving I don’t touch a drop. Great video.
to me ginger ale brings out different flavors of bourbon, but I still never use anything over about $24 to mix. Lately my preference is an Old Fashioned or Bourbon with one small ice cube.
This was a great episode! Please do an episode of which bourbon is best for an old fashioned in both of your opinions. Thank you.
I like makers mark for old fashioned it’s a little sweeter and smoother
Old fashions deserve a very good burboun since thatvis the main driving factor
Love this video. I drink whisky with a small group of guys and a few of us really like to try new mixers. Usually try a new bottle neat 1st, then on a rock, and then with a mixer. It's fun doing it that way. Nicely done men
Thank you!
I’d like to see you all do a whiskey and ginger ale video. Great content guys!
Here's my blind guess: Old Forester 100. Coke is sweet and all the other whiskeys are of the sweeter variety. I think the Old Forester will balance better. Definitely an experiment to run at home!
I usually go with the Jack and coke with a lime wedge, I have never tried Knob Creek with Coke. Going to have to give it a try. Thanks for the content guys, great job as always!
Lime wedge sounds like a great addition!
i can confirm knob creek 9 makes a far better drink than jack
Yes...lime makes it a new drink. I've done it for years.
Tasted Jack and Coke when I was about 12….. Dad had poured a drink, I came in from playing and was thirsty…. Haven’t drank it since!
Drank Jim and Coke for a while.
Now, bourbon with Ice only.
It’s actually Jack. Sounds crazy because it is the cheapest but the charcoal makes it taste smoother and better with coke.
Having traveled much of the world, the one constant an American can find at any bar in Ishtar or any other BFE country is Jack Daniels Black Label. You're generally not going to find a good bourbon unless you bring it. Of course, the Knob Creek 9YO, Old Forester 100 & Wild Turkey 101 are all very fine pours. Cheers!
Made a Jack & Coke over Thanksgiving with Jack Daniel’s Bonded, a much more flavorful take on the original! Going to try the Knob Creek out!
Did something similar with JD Single Barrel. Loved it.
The bonded is a good suggestion and I'm wondering about how the triple mash would fare comparatively as well
Knob creek and coke is my go to!
I agree, Bonded Jack is great with Coke! I have a JD single barrel barrel proof at (133.9 proof) that I just might have to try with Coke 😄
Benchmark and coke or Buffalo Trace and coke. I know it’s controversial to mix Buffalo Trace but it’s really good.
Fun video! Started off with J&C in my younger years. Graduated to Crown and then Makers. Discovered Knob ten or so years ago and never looked back.
Favorites (aside from Jack and Coke) is Four Roses and Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. I do love Old Forester 100 and Wild Turkey 101 as well so glad to see those in here too. And I feel guilty doing it, but a 1792 Small Batch and Coke is nice as well. I'll have to try the Knob Creek and Coke as well.
Three go-to mixers with Coke. Wild Turkey 101, Old Grand Dad BiB, and Evan Williams BiB. No way with Maker's. Four Roses yellow label also doesn't work for me. I'm curious about the Knob Creek and Old Forester, will give it a try. I won't try the Jack as that would require actually going out and buying a bottle. Fun video as is usually the case.
OLD GRANDAD YES
Excellent choices including not buying Jack Black. It's ridiculous how much better all of those are over Jack & cost the same or less. EW White 1.75L is 27.99 here vs ~38 for Jack Black... Someone gave me a vintage, partial bottle of Jack Black & not til after I drank it, noticed it is 90 proof. Like just about every consumer product, everything including whiskey is getting thinned out, lower quality.
A great flip to this would be as another eluded to - what’s the best cola mixer as you both agreed to Knob Creek 9 being the best overall. Is it domestic Coca Cola, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Mexican Coke, Pepsi, Pepsi Zero, Fago, Walmart Cola, etc.
The bullitt high rye with coke is my go to as well as Redemption high rye limited edition with coke they smoother but packs a punch. Great video as well.
First, thank you! I love the channel. Second, try using the following - good crystal-clear ice, and a "Mexican" Coke (made with Cane Sugar, not Corn Syrup). Jack is good, but Jim Beam Black has been my go-to for a long while now.
On the rare occasion that I make a highball its Evan Williams black label and coke. New sub. Great channel. Cheers.
Great video guys! You should also try a “smokey coke” and then try all of these whiskies mixed with either 7-Up or ginger ale.
Islay scotch and ginger ale is a game changer!!!
The "official smokey cokey" is Lagavulin 16 and pure cane sugar coke which is tasty but for some reason the Lagavulin 16 gives me the scent/taste of fresh from the wrapper Band-Aids. Such a weird note that I don't mind as much with the coke but not my favorite.
Jack Daniels is classified as a TN sipping whiskey. It actually does not meet the stringent standards as a Bourbon. It is definitely Bourbon adjacent.
Getting deep in the weeds, but different Bourbons may benefit from different proportions of whiskey to cola. A lot of fun, keep up the great shows!
I personally prefer Dr. Pepper as a mixing cola at home. DP and WT101 has been my go to mix for a very long time.
I mix Dr. Pepper and Jack.
What a fun concept for a show! While the only thing I typically use Coke for is getting rust stains out of a toilet bowl, and , I haven't had Jack Black since high school 40 yrs. ago. In the summer time, my hot weather go to cocktail is typically a whiskey and Ginger Ale (or Ginger Beer) with a lime. My preferred whiskeys for this are usually Makers Mark or Seagram's V.O. Simple and refreshing, and I don't have to think too much about it. I will give it a go with the Wild Turkey, OF and Knob to see how those go with the ginger. Thanks again for another fun show!
It's also great for cleaning corrosion off of battery terminals. It dissolves it instantly. That's an old mechanic's trick.
Summer is for Birddog Apple and Ginger Ale with a little lime😁
Nice!
@@FakingANervethat must mean the soda is very acidic, because I use vinegar to neutralize the base of corroded batteries.
@@motohead077 Indeed it is. It has a pH of about 2 or 2.5, if memory serves me.
Jack Daniels goes really well with RC Cola. It brings the full sweetness out of the soda..
RC Cola is so underrated, RC Cola and Mexican Coke make regular Coke and Pepsi look like shit.
Back when Eagle Rare wasn't impossible to find and stupidly priced, it was truly made to be paired with Coke. The vanilla tones were perfect. It was a 30 dollar bottle, so made sense and still wasn't bad on its own. A shame it's become a unicorn in most places. Of these I go with the 101.
Just bought my 1st bottle of Eagle so hope your right
Love Wild Turkey 101, also ordered a Rye called Sazerac been told its tidy
@JA Cannon Eagle Rare has more round edges than 101. For 30 bucks, it's something you can actually sip neat. Mixed with Coke, it is pretty dangerous.
You know eagle rare I tried during the holiday bought two bottles since they ere “rare” initial thought wa dthat eagle rare was smooth and good with Coke Zero but afte that holiday j came away as it wasnt
That was fun! Do Ryes next! :-) It's probably not absolutely correct, but we call anything made from soda pop mixed with spirits a "highball". And my favorite highball is a 50-50 mix of Bulleit Rye and Diet Dr. Pepper, over ice. YMMV
Jack and Coke was my go-to beverage for a looooong time, until I saw a late night TV show host drinking whiskey neat on his final show, so I did the same. Changed my perspective on whiskey that night. Lately, I've mixed Bonded Jack with Coke and it was great. I've also enjoyed my share of rum and Cokes and my favorite spiced mixing rum is Sailor Jerry.
If you think that is good, try Pre 2016 KC 9yr with cola or without. At least 2Xs better than post 2020 KC
I’ve done this same thing, hands down the absolute best bourbon I would never do again and that’s Bookers and coke. It’s on a completely different level. Back in the day $45 for Bookers you could experiment and Bookers was amazing with coke
The good old days!
Nice video! Now you have to do the best bourbon with ginger ale, and 7-up. Call it the Soda Series. 😎
Lol nice!
The Best Mixer with Coke I have found is the Buffalo Trace. The sweet notes of the Trace seem to blend with the Coke very well. I have tried the Knobb Creek and it was definitely enjoyable, but would rate the BT even higher! I got to commend you for trying the RVP with Coke, something we all want to see, but I must admit would be too timid to attempt.
Disgusting whisky needs coke
Benchmark, from BT, is a great mixer with coke. At about $10 a bottle it's super fun
@@JesseParentGP At about $10 a bottle, sounds like everyone should each get his/her own bottle. And if everyone has their own bottle, you’re right, regardless of what occasion it is, it’s going to be super fun!
I'm having a old forester 86 and coke watching this and lmao. Well done guys. I'm new to bourbon .. can't do it neat yet.
I have had all of these with coke. My order woukd be.... 1.Maker's 2.Knobe 3.Turkey 4.Forester 5.Jack.
Old Forester 100 is a great option. That'd be my winner in that line up. I also like to use 1792 Small Batch or Woodford Reserve which was my go to for a long time. I don't like Wild Turkey 101 with Coke. I thought that would be a slam dunk, but I tried it a while back and really didn't like the flavor combination. Jack and Coke is not bad. I've had plenty of them and if I'm in some hole in the wall bar in a small town I usually go with that option. Overall I just think something with a higher Rye mashbill hits the spot for me. I need something to cut through the sweetness of the Coke so things like Maker's aren't my favorite with Coke.
After watching the show I'm going to have to try Knob Creek and Coke. I think I've had it, but it was a long time ago. Also, one other recommendation I saw on another channel was to use Jack Bonded and that's pretty tasty as well.
***Update***
I wanted to try Knob Creek 9yr tonight, but crazy enough I don't have any. I swapped in Baker 7yr and it was quite good.
The JD bonded I think is a great idea!
MELLOW CORN #1 WITH COKE!!!!
Thanks to Anders and this video (and some actual recipe videos as well), I went and grabbed a bottle of Probitas. I sniffed the nose and took a step back and went WHOA. I took a sip. I stopped everything and called the shop I got it from and promptly procured two more bottles. This one is an instant staple for me. Smith and Cross and Wray and Nephew are established favorites of mine at this point, but Probitas is now right up there along with pretty much anything Plantation, Appleton Estate, or Diplomatico.
Wish we could have gone over some more of those bottles in more detail, though.
That was a lot of fun guys! I'll have to try mixing WT 101 with cola.
We need the egg nog version of this video.
First of all , I started “collecting” bourbon about a month ago , I have a few sealed and a several more opened. My question or recommendation is I would love to see a video about the shelf life of bourbon once you break the seal and oxygen takes over , and what changes happen and how long does an open bottle last? Much appreciated, cheers !
In my experience, when you open a bottle, it’s less that the whiskey won’t last a after a certain amount of time as much as the cork failing becoming more and more likely the longer it’s open and the less liquid is inside. A full bottle has very high internal humidity and it keeps the cork moist. When the bottle gets almost empty, the cork is more likely to dry out just enough to let air in, and once that happens the whiskey will go bad very soon. So if there’s a good seal nothing will happen to it
@@thomasmichael6509 to add to this, it’s never a bad idea to periodically lay your bottles on their side to resaturate the cork
A couple videos coming very soon to try and help clear up questions like this one. Good question!
I’m new to your channel and love the Father-Son relationship.
Nearly 40 years in the Liquor store business, I’ve never had Jack Daniels either. Tried it the other night and didn’t finish it. I’m with your Dad on that. After watching this video, I poured me a Knob 9 and Coke, and it was delicious. I’m not a Coke fan, but it paired very well. Congrats on your success, looking forward to more videos you put out.
Time Stamps:
04:42 - Tastings
09:05 - Rankings
Great video. Looking forward to the next!
I tried the Knob Creek 9 with Coke the other night and thought it was great. Thanks for the recommendation!
I drink either wild turkey, old grandad bonded or 114, and my favorite is probably buffalo trace.
Love this topic. Can I suggest / request a video trying bourbon with a variety of different mixers, such as lemonade, coke, tonic water, etc…..to
Thank you for putting this together this is great content. Absolutely agreed with your assessment on this one. With that said I’d like to challenge you to try this again using the real sugar or Mexican coke which you can find at most grocery stores in glass bottles. I’m curious to see if you see the big difference the way I and the people I’ve shared it with do. Cheers!
That's a easy one for me..... Jim Beam black! Honorable mention to Knock Creek! Cheer's
Old Grandad 114 and Wild Turkey 101 got me through my late 20s
They are still Great in your 40’s & 50’s …… Just to keep it real.

I haven't had a Jack and Coke in a while, or really any bourbon with Coke. But it does fall into a broader category of highball, and I do enjoy a highball when it gets warmer out. My go-to is a mid-tier or bottom shelf bourbon (WT101, KC9, OGD BiB, etc) with a couple of splashes of bitters (Angostura for me, but I don't own many bitters) over ice topped off with club soda or seltzer (Bubly cherry if I'm going with anything flavored). Super refreshing, the bitters accentuate the bourbon rather than mask it, and quenches the thirst better than a neat pour. Anything with sugar or sweetener becomes too sweet for me.
My top few “bourbon and coke” are:
1. Bullitt 10 year and coke
2. TX Bourbon Barrel Proof
3. Four Roses and coke.
These are my go-to drinks and now are always on hand!
Normally Jack Daniels With Coke ALWAYS. However I Did Have A Jack n Coke With Jack Daniels Single Barrel Single Proof (129proof) And It Was The Best Drink I’ve Had In My Life.
My go-to drink is an old fashioned with WT 101. But I do mix it with coke from time to time. I just got a bottle of Knob Creek Rye, and it does beat out the WT.
Knob creek is a fav of mine with coke. Really enjoy it in an old fashioned. Especially the knob 12 😉
Jim Beam doubles, still $1.99 at my local store. better price than any bourbon on the market even in larger bottle quantities
If I’m mixing, Bourbons taste way better mixed with Dr.Pepper in my opinion . The flavors of both just blend a lot better.
Crown and Coke is what I swing for. Not pricey so I don’t mind throwing a splash of coke in.
I mix my drinks with Sprite! Once you do, you won't want it any other way.
When I mixed, I preferred ginger ale. Jack and ginger.
My go to bourbon for mixing is Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof, available, and affordable at $30 for 1.75 liter.
I love this video! Jack and coke was my go to as I became of drinking age but never actually liked jack on its own to be honest. I never really dove into bourbons other than whatever the wells are at a bar ordering a bourbon and coke, but I received a knob 9 as a gift a couple years ago and that has easily been my favorite ever since! I definitely mix a much heavier ratio than the 2:1 coke:spirit the recipe calls for but I recently was able to get a bottle of buffalo trace and that has been a new favorite of mine with coke recently! I’d love to see more tastings with coke as I personally believe bourbon and Coke Zero is one of the best everyday alcohol drinks that really goes with anything!
Being a newbie Jack and Coke guy the most popular recipe I found was what we used. Some called for only 1 oz whiskey.
Lots of folks has said half n half.
Great show as usual!!
So glad I found this Channel IMO BEST BOURBON CHANNEL!!!!
My pick after drinking loads of Bourbon: Single Barrel Cask Strength Jack Daniel's & Coke. It tames it just enough which allows you to really dial in the flavors of the JD. You know which notes are from the Coke so I know what to mute out. Coke with Proof Bourbons IMO works best for me vs water.
KC 9. Love it. Sometimes splurge and do the 120 proof.
Did the same exercise to help my wife pic her favorite. She ended up with Crown and Coke Zero. I drink my whiskey neat, cocktails, on the rocks or/or club soda.
Old Forester Rye, Sazerak Rye, and Early Times all are very tasty with Coke…. But i like to use Coke Zero
Loved your video, should try Russell 10 yr. Makes a delicious cocktail.
I like my whiskey/bourbon and coke. I seldom drink it neat, sometimes with a piece of ice. Typically during the winter I actually like the warmer spice flavor of ginger ale. But then again. I'm not a serious bourbon drinker.
Larceny and Coke Zero is my go-to, and lately I've kept a bottle of WT 101 for mixing as well. For the price point, they're both excellent mixers. I dig the wheated bourbons a lot, but I cannot stomach Maker's at all, for some reason.
I LOVE Larceny straight. Never tried it with Coke Zero but I think I will now.
Makers and coke has always been my go to but Knob and coke is amazing cause the spiciness really brings out the cola. Honorable mention to Weller SR and coke if you can get it around the $30 msrp. Wheated bourbon tends to work best.
I agree…I like my Makers Mark Cast Strength with my Coke…will also have to Try the Knob Creek & Coke.
Great content as usual!
My personal favourite is a can of Pepsi max vanilla with wild turkey 101 😂
I can’t find anything that beats it.
If I used a 12oz can of soda to mix w whiskey, would have to use 12-24oz of whiskey, depending on whiskey & mood at the time, hah.
I have never met anybody else that has a preference for captain and Dr. Pepper. I go for the private stock captain when I'm feeling fancy. If I go coke it's with WT101.
Per your request on taste inputs regarding mixers with bourbon. I truly enjoy bourbons neat or over a ice cube at higher proofs. Vodka mixers are preferred with tonic.
Back in my younger days my go to was Black Velvet and Pepsi. Cheap and easy to get. Right now my go to mixer is Crown and Coke or Wild Turkey 101 and Coke. My straight sipper is Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Recently bought some Blackened and that is great with some ice.
Would like to now see a taste test trying different cola’s with your favorite whiskey.
