Have this one too! Beautiful decanter that for sure contributes to the price tag (got mine for 150$, which isn't too far off retail of 130$), but there's no arguing that it's great juice.

Agreed. I got mine for MSRP though. The woman at the register actually hugged it and said it was the brand that got her into bourbon.

Tonight I've had Maker's Mark RC6, Elijah Craigh Barrel Proof A119, and Blantons. I can never make my mind up so I just have my buddy pick numbers from 1 to however many whisk(e)ys I have on my shelf and that's what I drink. In this case it's 1-34.

[BearyManilowe]

I got something I guarantee ain't none of y'all got.



Dont mind the Cruzan, that's the wife's. And don't ask me how it tastes, no way I was opening this unless it was a celebration.

[BearyManilowe]

What are we drinking these days, fellas?

I've been putting back the usual Buffalo Trace and Evan Williams SB lately. I finished a bottle of Old Forrester 100 Proof recently that was REALLY delicious for 21 bucks.

Honestly I've been vibing on the Old Forester 86 proof. It's relatively cheap but it's actually really solid for the price.

Finally got my hands on a bottle of OGD114. I've been seeing this getting a lot of attention in the various groups and thought I'd grab some. IMO, it's just okay. There are several others I would take in that $28-$30 price range over OGD114, but they are not 114 proof so that's the trade off.

Flavor wise, it's pretty spicy as you would expect. I put a couple ice chips in and it drastically improved the overall taste. More caramel, more vanilla. Call me crazy, but I prefer the $21 OGD Bottled in Bond over this one.

Can someone go and buy blood oath pact 6 and report back on it lol

I got through a bottle of OGD recently and am going to start buying it more often - at ~$20 here for BIB proof it's a hell of a deal.

At 114 do you actually taste anything? I know even for me Wild Turkey 101 loses all flavor profile and is just alcohol at that point. I've never vibed on anything over 100 proof. I basically live in that 80-100 range.

Bro... I have some 136 proof Elijah Craig Barrel Proof and it's one of the tastiest bourbons I have ever had the pleasure of tasting.

Jam packed with caramel, cinnamon, and leathery sweetness. It's spicy but really, really damn good.


edit: from the previous page

Cant believe I got that bottle in January and still have 2/3 left. lol

Fiiiiiinally found some more Buffalo Trace, and, scored the new ECBP release

136 fkn proof. Hell yes! Price went up from $49 to $59 on the EC too.

[Kiefer 2004]

My local Costco had liter bottles of Buffalo Trace for $35.
I'm going to snag one next time I go.

KC 9yr SiB is probably the best bourbon in terms of proof, availability, and cost. 40-45$, found on shelves nearly everywhere, SiB, and 120 proof. always have these on hand and especially the store picks of this which tend to be well north of 9 years old.

Picked up another bottle of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof over the weekend. Prices are up to $60+tax here in Ohio now.

Apologies for the size, still trying to figure out how to resize images from the Chromebook.

i havent bought a newer batch yet since i have plenty of A19s left, but the newer bottle logos/design is cooler. i wouldnt have known it changed if not for you showing these 2!

[Kiefer 2004]

What are some good rye whiskies?
I don't want to spend more than $40.
I've only had the Jim Beam and Jack Daniel's ryes.

Grabbed one yesterday at my local liquour store for $45. That should last me a while. Still on the hunt for those EC barrel proofs.

My favorite semi-local distillery, McLaughlin Distillery, has one called Devil's Juice. It's finished with toasted hickory wood and is quite literally like drinking a campfire. This guy continues to impress me and I would honestly choose his stuff over big name brands any day.

I've been awared that this thread exists, my searching only showed ded threads from last year. Heres a mostly up to date pic of my shelf

What do you think of Woodinville Bourbon? I live about 30 minutes (depending on traffic of course) to the distillery.

IMO its a very classic bourbon, worth it for $35, I've heard good things about their finished and cask strengths but havent seen them

[ChknFrydMFer]

Any of you lads experiment with smoking you pour?

Only when I'm drinking a cigar.

Went to NJ to see if they had Baker's.... spent 4x as much on these others ones I can't find in PA.

Oops.

[jfindon]

Is there a part 2 of this I'm missing? What the hell dudes.

One of my favorites!

I've cut way down on the drinking since picking up running again.

[ChknFrydMFer]

GF was willed this old sideboard bar...finally got around to getting it to the house.

Much better spot for the good stuff
