Damn. I’ve got 3 bottles of Blantons among other bourbons. I better get after it.
Really good. Smooth. Nice citrus and caramel flavor. ER in my top 2 now.Yep it’s fantastic! Might even be better than Blantons

I bought my buddy a fifth of Maker's 46. They changed the bottle. It is now cheaper, lighter and looks like their regular line. It still has the wax covering, but now it covers a screw cap. Booooooo!
He bought me tix for Boston Bruins/Dallas Stars game. Those are my two favorite teams. Bad ***.

Really don’t care for old fashions but I’ve only had 2 though so maybe they would grow on me if I ordered them more.
Finally got a new fifth of Buffalo Trace! Buddy and I went to Total Wine for some beer. We stop by the Scotch and the bourbon aisle. He asks the employee if they have some Glenfiddich. Nope. Been stiffed by the supplier for three weeks. I jokingly ask about Buffalo Trace since it always is in short supply. Delivered small quantities, usually during early mid-week. Employee points to shelf. They have 750ml, 1L and 1.75L. Limit 1. I don't want bigger than 750. Buddy gets his own fifth... and some Moosehead.

It's not my favorite, but you can't beat it for $25-27. It's worth $10 more than that.
We plowed through most of my Eagle Rare over Xmas. Time to order something else from the Buffalo Trace distillery.Finally got a new fifth of Buffalo Trace!

I have never bought bourbon before but have enjoyed an occasional old fashioned and whiskey sour. My wife bought me some Angostura bitters for Xmas but I only had a few ounces of Templeton Rye in a bottle that someone left here one time. I finished that off with my new bottle of bitters. Today I grabbed a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch. Seemed like a decent bottle to start out with. Haven't tried it yet.
It’s very solid. Others in that price range are Russell’s 10-year, Makers 46, Coopers 100 proof. All very good for $35ish
I’m about to bust open my bottle of eh Taylor small batch. I’ll let you know how it is.
Buffalo Trace falls a single position to third, a house pour in 15%. In 2018, the brand’s parent-company, Sazerac, pledged $1.2bn to boost the brand’s production over a 10-year period which, to date, has led to a 50% increase in whiskey production. Time will tell if this growth impacts the brand’s popularity in our polled bars.

All right all you experts. I need a recommendation for a retirement gift bottle of bourbon. Budget is 100 dollars.
Uncle Nearest 1884. Nice start, a little astringent at the end. Nearest was the first Black Master Distiller in the US (maybe the world?). A pretty honest whiskey in that it keeps its clarity all the way through except for that slight astringent note at the end, but then that also makes it remarkable.
Ditto who said angels envy rye. That Caribbean rum cask is amazing.
Just picked up the Bulleit 10 yr today, never seen it before but looking forward to trying it.
