For sure! They have some great stuff. I’ve had too many of their barrell picks this year, but most of them are solid or better. I would definitely pay for a Cellar-Aged, the BRT, and BEP, but probably any of their wood finishing series. Let me know what your dad got, it sounds intriguing
It’s solid. I went to the distillery in Louisville during a work trip and the tour guide was the most Kentucky sounding mf’er you could possibly imagine.
Was he largely balding but had longer hair? Like a golem looking a little?
Old granddad is good and cheap. I recently tried benchmark single barrel, and it seemed like another good value.
I’ll keep touting beam double oak. I’d also add Four roses small batch but I’ve had phenomenal bottles and not so good.
I don't think so, but I don't remember much about how he looked. This was like six years ago. I just remember thinking he sounded like someone who you'd assume made moonshine in the woods and fucked his dogs.
Like bookers, another high proof bourbon. Usually see it in the $100-110 range so not terrible price. Not sure where you’re located but as of Tuesday wall to wall in papillion had 3-4 bottles for $100
We moved from Omaha to Norfolk a couple months ago so this seems like it might be a good deal around here?
Let me know any other good ones you find around Norfolk. I don't often have much luck.
Very good. Lot's of depth and HOT...have a couple bottles. Have always enjoyed it.
Found Blanton’s here for $75 as well. Bought the last one but if I had to guess, they’ll get more.
Where at?
No idea on what’s. Normal for Norfolk but I’ve paid higher markups for stuff I’ve wanted so go for it. A 120 proof knob creek would taste very similar to bookers (both made by Jim beam) if you want to try something with similar taste for less money.
Check for release dates and then check Costco. They’ll usually have it for $90, but they often go fast. Most people I know collect them because they are easy to collect. Standard Booker’s releases can vary quite significantly in regard to taste. There are 4 per year. I try to sample before buying a Bookers because they can be incredibly hit or miss for me
