Chill the glass, three ice cubes and three fingers of Basil.

Sit on the porch, and watch the sun set.

That’s heaven.

I should sell this stuff, really… When I am in the mood for “Brown Sauce” nothing taste quite as delightful, especially nice as a ‘not too sweet’ after dinner sipper. I tried it for the first time at A’s in Newport on the recommendation of the bartender about 1 1/2 years ago, and it immediately bacame a staple in my bar…DE-lish!

BH may even get your lady to like the sauce!

I drink my whiskey with coke. I’m a panzy like that I guess but I would much rather have the nerve to drink it on the rocks. I just haven’t had a whiskey that doesn’t burn me. I’ve had Jack, Gentleman Jack, Templeton Rye and Makers. Makers is my favorite so far but not straight. I think I’ll try BH next.

If you think BH is good on the rocks or neat, try it while smoking a cigar. Go for a medium bodied cigar like a Fuente Sun Grown, a Cabaiguan or if you go Cuban, with a Monte Cristo #2. The world will seem like a peaceful enchanting place when you combine this bourbon with a good cigar.

Comments elsewhere – people have to add coke to Jack to mask the taste.

Small glass with ice is all you need w/BH.

Been drinking BH for over 5 years. Have tried some others, none compare. BH is #1 with me.

A friend of mine has been buying different bourbons every couple of weeks to find one he likes. I started doing the same. After a couple of duds I bought BH. I no longer buy different brands. I have found my bourbon. The best I have had, ever.

I just bought a bottle of BH at my local liquor store, on the recommendation of the guy at the counter. Wow, he was right! This is one of the smoothest bourbons I’ve ever had, with a very light flavor that is not harsh at all. Just a couple of ice cubes and a splash of BH made a very nice sipping drink this evening. I think BH is now my new favorite bourbon!

I just had BH for the first time at a local restaurant about an hour ago. Up until tonight, Maker’s was easily my favorite tasting bourbon. But when I had my first taste of BH on the rocks, it was so smooth, I couldn’t believe it. I guess its smoothness makes sense given that it is the lowest proof of the major top bourbons. But for taste alone, I rank it easily at the top.

’splash of coke’!!!! IN A GOOD BOURBON?! EGADS!!!

Not trying 2 b mean, but if your friend is going 2 add mixer, tell him to save his money and just mixup with one of the well liquors.

on the rocks is all u need.
