Picked up a bottle to try instead of good ol' Makers Mark (which is excellent as well). Knob Creek tastes better over the rocks than MM... smoooooooooth!

I have a few bottles of KC alone with MM, JD and JD single barrel
I've had all of them...MM still comes out the winner.HRDTLBRO said:
Apparently you missed the point of this thread.Brian HCM#1 said:JD and JD single barrel
We're talking about whiskey. Not drain cleaner.
The Single Barrel is some good stuff, the other JD is what I mix with coke for my common guests. The good stuff should be had straight, over rocks or over rocks with a splash of water. Diluting a whiskey with soda should be outlawed and considered a sin.kidwoo said:

Good use of JD...

True. Nothing like laying out a couple of rails while drinking whiskey with the neighbors.
Save the rock for the high rollers.
Dump the JD and go with (illkoolkeg's recommendation earlier) Evan Williams.
Way better than JD or Beam, works well as a mixer and is still very drinkable over a bit of ice. Plus, you can get a fifth for about 8 bucks.

amen on the evan williams cheap and good 'fire water'
I had a bottle of this wating for me and my soldiers when I got back form Iraq. Jonny Walker blue is about the smoothest scotch I"ve had in about 15 years of drinking. I dont drink it straight, but that I could.
finally N* and i agree on something. i have been touting the taste and smoothness of Knob Creek for a long time but no one ever listens. I actually drove over the real Knob Creek yesterday.N8 said:
