OT-Bourbon drinkers?

It was very good but I'd have to see the price per bottle first. I've found several good bottles for my tastes under $ 50.
This has all the different kinds where I order from.
It's not cheap.
You have to know a HyVee liquor store manager. A friend of mine picks up 2 bottles whenever they get a new allotment. I get one of them
.. they have a raffle now. 100 bucks per ticket.. winner gets the pappy van winkle lineup. I may do it ..
Woodford is a nice tour. The tasting at the end is the best one I've done, as they actually "teach" the basics of how to taste.
My favorite actual tour was Makers Mark, worth it if you get a chance. Beautiful property and lots of interesting info. Four Roses was nice too, just not as good as the others. Wild Turkey the bus was broken when we stopped by so didn't get to take that one.
"Teach" is a bunch of bs invented by snobs. GTFO. I have shot glasses, rocks glasses and Glencairn glasses. I prefer to sip it neat out of a shot glass. Nobody had to teach me how to do that.
I just bought the 18. I have a store pick that’s a 17 year that is the best rye and one of the best bourbon/whiskeys I’ve ever had. It’s better than the boss hog I tried. We blinded it vs Thomas Handy and the 17 year won. I hope the 18 is as good
I'm not saying I "taste" every time I drink by any means. I usually just drink neat out of a highball glass, no fancy tasting or anything. That being said, some of the techniques to try to bring out some of more subtle flavors do work. Don't need to be a snob to acknowledge that.
Decent haul today in Phoenix. Actually scored an Act 9 and Act 10 at the same honey hole for $150/ea. MWND just hit all the TW in the Phx market, but as far as I know, they all sold out.
Bourbon hunting season is upon us.
I’ve got a friend out in western South Dakota who likes high end bourbons. He was lamenting how everything has gone to lotteries to get it. Fortunately for him somehow he got hooked up with a large liquor store in Texas who sells him Blanton by the case and saves back some higher priced bourbons for him to pick up when he visits family down there He has 11 bottles of Blanton in his cabinet right now. It’s good to be his friend.

Very nice! Have never seen MWND in the wild but am hunting for it hard here in Texas. Those Russel's bottles are typically very good! And you can never go wrong with Elijah Craig BP at retail.

Lucky bastard. I've been running out of different new good bourbons to try. Just been sticking with the basic Jim Beam Devil's Cut and JB Black. Also, got a bottle of 12 year old Scotch. The Dalmore. Not bad on both. But I'm sticking with ordering Blanton's online. Best of the best.

Just ordered my Blanton's Gold. Already tried the single barrel and special reserve. After this may have to get the Black label. https://www.frootbat.com/product/48...-Barrel-Bourbon-750ml-Bottle/Lincoln,-NE,-USA
Dang, you are spending $120 per eagle rare. Geesh. That’s like 500% markup for the retailer.
I’d happily sell you every eagle rare I have for that.
Especially Blantons, you have to be a regular high priced buyer that knows the owner on the liquor store to purchase the stuff..
I've asked multiple stores. You are correct. Few bottles here and there. Usually serve at the bar.
Buffalo trace said eagle rare will be the new blantons.. it will be crazy hard to find.

I've tried the regular Buffalo Trace. Just not the ER. You try ER yet?
