Come to DC, visit the Round Robin Bar at the Willard. It are the birth-place of the julep 9crated by none other than Henry Clay) and Maker's is their rail bourbon. Why, yes. Yes it is heaven.

@Lunatic Fringe: On the rocks, four fingers in a double old-fashioned glass. Or mint juleps where possible. If the waitress says they can't make the julep because "it's not in the computer," and I am unable to leave in a huff. I will go with ginger ale and a few mint leaves, because all the trendy mojito people have ensured a supply of mint...

Seriously, though, no self-respecting San Francisco bar should ever be able to pull the "it's not in the computer" routine. This is the town that invented the martini?

As a matter of fact I made several gallons of mint juleps for a party I went to. They are delicious but apparently I like mine more industrial strength most other folks.

Everyone shouldn't sleep on bourbon and ginger either.

For some reason Sloe Gin Fizz just went through my head also.

@Ron: I'm partial to Elmer T. Lee -- he handpicks the barrels that go to his single-barrel. Made by Buffalo Trace (their regular bourbon is pretty good too and cheaper than Makers is at Binnys if neither is on sale).

BT I think also makes Eagle Rare and George T Stagg, neither of which I have tried yet.
