under 10 bucks, works for me

Wow, I thought $20 was low. Never heard of that stuff. May have to give it a try! :D

Edit: from the Buffalo Trace Distillery. So how bad could it be?

The comments at WhiskeyReviewer are worth at least $10. ancient-age-bourbon-review

great comments on the whiskeyreviewer!

Cracking this one open tomorrow to go along with cured meats I picked up in Munich.

Good stuff. I picked up a bottle at the distillery this summer but haven't tapped into it yet.

So this is a review of that Evan Williams 1783 I posted previously (around $15!). Are you kidding me .... "floral/fruity scents of banana, matted rose petals, field grasses and marzipan" Not just rose petals, but matted rose petals :rolleyes: All I know, is whether I like the taste. Or not. In this case, I do.

Thinking of making Bourbon Sweet Potatoes for Thanksgiving:

Good excuse to buy a bottle of Makers Mark!

They are indeed ridiculous... I fully agree, i know what tastes good to me and thats about it.

My birthday gift from the family.

Very nice.

Man I have not posted my shenanigans in a while. I have slowed my roll a lot.

I recently grabbed a bottle of Proper 12, I have to say Conor McGregor did a nice job and knows his client base. @ $25 a bottle this is a decent Irish Whiskey.

While in the store they were offering samples of Dillons Heavens Door Bourbon and Whiskey, I liked the lower octane Bourbon better.

Found this is the hill country of Texas. I was very impressed. I am looking forward to getting into these, I tried samples at the distillery and out of the 6 I tried these two were my favorites.

On sale at my local grocery lately for $13/bottle PLUS 10c/gal off on gas at whatever stations...

Had a bottle 2 bottles ago (I keep one, if any, at any given time, usually 2-3 per year) and it was very good, esp. considering the rock bottom price.

I ordered the Heavens Door Tennessee Bourbon. I am excited to try it and to compare to the Basil Hayden.

"Developed in partnership with Bob Dylan". Interesting. There are so many new bourbons out there, it is tough to keep up these days. The golden age of bourbon for sure.

So in the back of the photo I posted in the previous page is a bottle of Canadian Club. I have not had any in 30 years and I recall it tasting like paint thinner. This bottle was found while we were moving and I think somebody gave it to me as a gift about 10 years ago. Now I find out it's special CC aged 15 years and $60/bottle. Anybody drink this stuff?

A friend bought me a drink of his favorite Scotch last night, it is the least peaty and smoothest Scotch I've had in recent memory.

We had it served with a single small ice cube (a shard really) in it.

Goes well with a good cigar.

I finally received the Heaven's Door bourbon after 3 weeks from ordering. I ordered it through the Heaven's Door site because I like to order from the source. It sends me to ReserveBar, an online vendor I will not use again because their communication about the transaction was poor and they sent far too many irrelevant emails about other products.

Well this past weekend, the wife and I were at an ABC liquor and lo and behold there is the full line of Heaven's Door products at the same price.

Anyone else noticing that Eagle Rare's flavor is a bit off recently?
Back to Bulleit for me!

I have a couple bottles of the Balvenie... Though not my favorite... the oak is strong...

I was at ABC last week and noticed that as well. I was told that there has been a run on Buffalo Trace the last 6 months and they can't keep it on the shelves. :confused: It's one of my go-to bread & butter bourbons and has been around forever. Not sure if it's just this store or what. They only had 3 bottles (well, 2 after I left).

BTW, Publix liquor stores have a much better bourbon selection than ABC. ABC is heavily weighted toward Jim Beam products.

Same thing here in Va with Eagle Rare-won't stay on the shelves.
