‘I have too much Weller’ has never been a series of words I’ve uttered.

The SR is a very good basic bourbon. Little hint of sweetness from the wheat. Much like you said there is no such thing as “I have too much Weller” 🤣🤣
@Dell Husker also may live in an area where it’s easy to come by or travels there often. In my little NE corner of Nebraska it is hard to find but I’ve started to find a couple of avenues to get it. My wife’s cousin lives in NC Kansas and they can get SR pretty easily now so I would imagine if I wanted another bottle I could just have the snag one and send me or bring the next time they visit.

I used to be able to find any BT product, outside of the rarities, until they became popular. Now I see it when I’m traveling.

Yep. I’m down on the border. The stores in Nebraska can never seem to get Weller. If you go to Kansas, it’s easy to get. The store I go to normally gets a few bottles each year around the holidays. I probably have 4 1.75 bottles and a couple smaller ones. I always ask if they have different Weller options but it’s all they get.
 
Have a number of varying BT stock here at the house…and have been enjoying some throwbacks and other bottles recently.

Highly recommend Horse Soldier (all three), have been diving back into the Four Roses Single Barrel, and if you are looking for a great price to value…the Early Times Bottled In Bond is sneaky good!

Wife and I are going to Hollywood Florida next month for a few days. Is there anything down there that we can’t get up here (northeast Nebraska) that’s good? Not necessarily bourbon either, I do like a little rum too.

Will check that out. Likely heading to get something tonight.

Typically a Woodford Reserve or High West Distillery Double-Rye Whisky guy, but still drink Silent Pool Gin & Fever Tree tonic about 5 to 1 over bourbon.

Dude you have to try Ransom's Old Tom and tonic ....... I like Fever tree but I don't want it to over take the flavor of a good Old Tom or Genever ....

Here is a review on it: The money I had to borrow from the bank to start the business was my Ransom." Ransom Spirits' Old Tom Gin is a revival of the gins fashioned during the mid-19th century — the golden age of American cocktails. The recipe, which Seestedt developed in collaboration with famed historian and mixologist David Wondrich ("a living iPod of drink lore and recipes," according to The New York Times), actually begins with the distillation of whiskey. After mashing and fermenting malted barley, Seestedt distills the wash through his custom-designed 150-gallon copper pot still. Next, he infuses a separate grain-based distillate with a secret recipe of herbs and botanicals, including juniper, orange peel, lemon peel, coriander seed, angelica root and cardamom. The malted barley and grain-based distillates are then married together in the chamber of Seestedt's still and then distilled together. After distillation, Old Tom Gin is aged for 3-6 months before being brought to proof and bottled by hand. Old Tom Gin has initial notes of orange and lemon, which are wonderfully balanced by herbal undertones. The subtle, rounded flavors of the juniper, grains and hint of oak provided by the aging process add complexity and intrigue, and are followed by a malty, slightly sweet finish. Old Tom Gin earned the Gold Medal at the International Review of Spirits Competition and earned a score of 93 points from the Beverage Testing Institute. In addition, it earned a Gold Medal and the title "Best of Category" at the American Distilling Institute Competition in 2013.
Eventually I'll discuss Genever's but that is another day. Let me just say; study wine malts.

Try the Old Tom and then experiment with making a Martinez ..... the original Martini .....
