Whiskey?

[DW]

I haven’t had a Monster in several years, but I still lurk here and live in Bourbon country. Approximately 30 minutes to Woodford Reserve, Four Roses, Wild Turkey, Buffalo Trace, etc etc.  we are pretty spoiled.  That being said, here are some not horribly priced bourbons you need on your list. 

Four roses single barrel: very spicy, one of my favorites. Standard is about $30 a bottle, barrel strength is about $60 but oh so much better.
EH Taylor: this stuff goes down nice and easy.  Fantastic
Yellowstone: just tried this and was very surprised.  Lots of cinnamon notes. .  I’d buy it again
Weller: anything above green label is good good good.  But of course it’s hard to find.  Knocked out a bottle of weller antique last week.  If you can find the 12 year old, buy it. But it won’t be cheap.

And of course Blantons is always amazing.  Problem is that’s $60-80 that won’t last long if you enjoy it. 

There are many others, our liquor stores are all about half bourbon.  If you are in the area some time, do yourself a favor and tour Buffalo Trace and Woodford.  Two good tours 30 minutes apart that show you the smaller scale and large old school industrial scale of distilleries. Better yet, plan a day or two and hit several others as well.

Even though I live in a neighboring state it’s rare to obtain a bottle of Buffalo Trace. ABC Stores are terrible for inventory.  Never seen Weller in any store here. A buddy of mine does a lot of traveling around so he is always stocked up.

No Officer, that is just my mouthwash that you smell.
