Gotta say, the EW-BIB is nice and smooth at 100 proof. Damn good hooch at $13.49 a fifth.
There are still good values out there, just fewer than a couple years back.
I need to get another jug of OGD-114 soon too.

The store I got the 114 from also had OGD BIB...ever tried it? I'll be on the prowl for the EW BIB.
The OGD BIB isn't sold in my neck of the woods for some reason. Its either the 80 proof or the 114. On the EW BIB, I know of exactly one local store that carries it.

Think I'll have a pour of EW-BIB and a Fuente.
You?

Sippin on a 114. No smoke.
How do you drink it?
Just over ice?

That's some nice juice, I love the licorice/fennel taste. Especially at its proof/cost point. IMO, its Beams best offering, all things considered.

That's my method.

Ok. Well I want to try something different so I'm going to try drinking what you guys drink.That's my method.
Dirty ole' grampa No.114. Is that what should try first in terms of bourbon? Or is this whiskey?
I normally drink craft beers and tequila, rum, and vodka. Also jager shots.

Jefferson and I differ on the best way to take bourbon. Thankfully neither one is wrong. With the 114 I drink it with just a splash of water. I find the vapors through the nose almost as important as drinking it. I believe reducing the temp of the whisky inhibits the nosing portion of the drink. With most bourbon or rye at 80 proof I take it neat. Occasionally I'll mix with coke.
Evan Williams is a great place to start. OGD 114 is great if you want to jump head first into the deep end of the pool.

Thanks for the tip.
And just to clarify, you sip on this instead of shooting it?

Uh no, probably not. Might be best to grab a bottle of Buffalo Trace or Elijah Craig. Less proof to deal with, but still tasty.

Oh god, we're talking sipping whiskey, not shots fodder.

No reason to frown, I'm just making sure.Oh god, we're talking sipping whiskey, not shots fodder.
I'll get one of the recommendation yall made when I have some free time to drink it.

Heck, since yall are being so helpful, here is a beer recommendation. It may be a little much if you're not accustomed to a stout. The Nitro 2x milk stout:

Oh for fucks sake, I've brewed stouts. Easier drinking than double IPA'sHeck, since yall are being so helpful, here is a beer recommendation. It may be a little much if you're not accustomed to a stout. The Nitro 2x milk stout:

The 2X is power stuff. Makes other stouts taste like water.Oh for fucks sake, I've brewed stouts. Easier drinking than double IPA's

Shots are for college kids and tourists. Get a nosing glass or just use a nice rocks glass. How does that stuff compare to Guiness?
