So um, Bourbon thread? Yeah, Bourbon Thread.

Yep I stick to Buffalo Trace - Eagle Rare - Blanton's - Blanton's Gold - Weller 12

I’ve had better luck finding Eagle Rare recently. All of them so good.

Same, there is a liquor store here in Parker that has had it 2/3 of the last times I checked

Huge Blanton’s fan. Sitting on 5 bottles right now. At this rate, should get me through Next week.
Haven’t had the Weller...what would you compare that too?

I’m almost out of Blantons but I do have 3 bottles of Blantons Gold. The W12 is my favorite. I’d say it’s like Blantons but I find it a little smoother

You boys have any recommendations for a guy who prefers scotch and wants something in a bourbon or rye that's not a vanilla or oak bomb? In a rye, especially, I'm okay if it's hugely spicy otherwise. Bonus points for anything that's a little bit "funky" or otherwise oddly complex and integrated.

Woodford, Buffalo Trace, Basil Hayden, Calumet, hell even Makers, they're all good to start with to start getting your taste of bourbon. I'm not a rye guy, just never have been. If you're feeling wild, for a barrel strength proof maybe go with a Bookers. That should get you started out just fine. Once you've passed the 6th grade, we'll initiate you into Junior High with some better options. 😉

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, I should have been more specific: I've had a lot of these bourbons before; I've got decent experience with the spirit, but I tend to focus more on scotch. I was curious if anyone had something a bit more off-the-beaten-path.

 

[Red Finger]

Is this good? Someone tell me if I should buy this. I mean....I probably will anyway but...

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

I've been drinking. Finished off my Basil Hayden the other day and just broke into my new favorite bourbon Rowan's Creek since I can't find any fucking Blanton's anywhere.

How about you all?

I’m a big Buffalo Trace, Dickel and Bulleit guy

Haven't tried Dickel before. Buffalo Trace and Bulliet are nice ones for sure.

 

[Johannes de Silentio]

Boys, I'm good and drunk on a Rock Town single barrel I bought back in 2015. Killed the bottle. Love you all.

 

[Red Finger]

Watching the Chiefs/Ravens sippin on on this:


Pretty good inexpensive bottle really. @Red Finger approves.

My usual go to's are Blanton's, Blanton's Gold, and Weller 12.

Have not had Weller 12. Blantons? Plenty. I've met them, well some of their distillers and marketing people through events in Louisville. He was feeding us Blantons and Gold all night. Was a good night.

POS “iam4nualways” commented on the rss that Blantons is overrated and overpriced. Phvk him

 

[BBTown Bomber]

Nearly bought Basil Hayden’s. Good?

Yeah

 

[Saudi_aurora]

My local little store came through and saved 2 bottles of Blanton's for me. I've always told him, if he gets them in, I'll buy them without hesitation. Sure enough, boom. It's a great Friday gents.

 

[cwessel76]

You know what? I bought a bottle of Kirkland Bourbon and it isn’t half bad. $30 for a 1L bottle. It’s made in Tennessee so it’s probably Dickel but it makes a good Old Fashioned.

I'm calling every little store in Aurora and offering $10 over MSRP

jk

Yeah, I definitely paid a mark up. About 90/bottle... which is unfuckingbelievable considering I used to buy the shit 9 years ago for around 45-ish. Oh well... the things we do for love. I'm not sure when he'll have it in again, but in your call list add E-470 Wine and Spirits. They're just up the hill from us. Good dude who runs the place.

$90 isn't terrible. I pay around $100 usually secondary so you are still under that. I see some guys sell for $120

That’s insane bro. It’s good, but I don’t know if it’s that good. It’s fairly mild and I prefer my bourbon to bite back.
