Can I come?I'll have to break out some of my Wild Turkey Rare Breed 116.8 barrel proof. Good Stuff!
Some Basil Hayden's. We have an unopened bottle of Double Oaked from Noble Oak that we're saving for a whiskey tasting party to come around again.Woot!
Edit: I think that I'm gonna have to dig deep..... maybe some Ezra Brooks, Eagle Rare, or something on that order.
That's a NICE stash, @Jeff Boudman !! I just poured myself some Blanton's (harder to find than hen's teeth these days....without paying through the nose!) I'd love a pour of any of your EH Taylor! Haven't been able to find any of the small batch for quite some time (used to be readily available locally for $40. I also lit an Oliva Master Blend as well to enjoy some football (non-American) and a nice NorCal evening.Time to hit the stash of the good stuff::

Nice!! Haven't seen Blanton's in a couple of years and I refuse to pay twice retail. Even Colonel Taylor is becoming harder to find.Time to hit the stash of the good stuff::

Every now and then I luck into an allocated bottle. We have state stores here so that isn’t often. Upside of state stores is that everything sells at MSRP.Nice!! Haven't seen Blanton's in a couple of years and I refuse to pay twice retail. Even Colonel Taylor is becoming harder to find.
Agreed. There is a lot of great whiskey out there, and reasonably priced too.Every now and then I luck into an allocated bottle. We have state stores here so that isn’t often. Upside of state stores is that everything sells at MSRP.
There so much good bourbon available now that there’s always good stuff on the shelves.
If Blanton’s was on the shelves I’d buy it and drink it. The bottles in my stash are for my son’s FIL, as he really likes it. I give him a bottle when I visit. Surprisingly, Blanton’s wins every blind taste test it is in.Agreed. There is a lot of great whiskey out there, and reasonably priced too.
I've never understood why Blanton's became so hard to find. It's good, but not great, to my palate anyway. I was gifted a bottle, and it lasted us for years. Some of the Booker's releases were really good, (but a couple were hot messes). I quit buying it a few years ago when Beam jacked the price way up.
If you like barrel proof whiskey, the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel proof is an excellent choice and reasonably priced.
Agreed on the Booker's....I just hate to pay $90.00, or more, for something that may be exceptional, without trying it first.If Blanton’s was on the shelves I’d buy it and drink it.

I do like Booker’s. Some batches are outstanding.
I mostly buy Knob Creek. I don’t think you can beat the Single Barrel Reserve at 120 proof.
