Favorite bourbon/ whiskey...

Snagged an EC18 the other day!!

 

Good stuff. What it run you? I'm old and remember way back...you could have purchased that for $35. I used to buy it often as I really liked it. But won't pay the prices I see now.

 

It was $149, which was high but I’ve never had it and it’s been on my list for a while now. We shall see if it was worth it!

 

Great price. You live in Kentucky? Around me, $229 was the cheapest I saw.

 

No sir, i am in Colorado. One of the stores near me threw up a few on their app and I happened to be on at the right time i guess.

 

Bourbon prices have sky rocketed. It wasn't that long ago I purchased a Pappy Van Winkle 10 year for $53. Weller Antique for $20.

 

Found the receipt.

 

Depends on where you are in the country. I paid $57 for ORVW last year and still pay $29 for Weller Antique

 

One more vote for Jameson Irish Whiskey ​

 

Excellent prices. If I visit my friend in North Carolna, I will reach out to you (if that's OK)

 

Four Roses Single or Rowans Creek

 

That’s crazy. I can’t find antique for the life of me. I had someone offer me a bottle for $120, no thanks.

 

Damn! How much do I need to bribe you to get some 107?

 

seems like we need to buy and send gifts to each other of the good stuff we can't find locally

 

I’m in. I just bought Cream of Kentucky for 199. In SoCal. I don’t feel terrible about it tho cause it looks to be going for about 150 elsewhere. Hopefully someone on here doesn’t burst my bubble.

 

Was $150 here in Vegas.

 

The good life.

 

how is angels envy? i was thinking of getting some as a gift

 

looks great

 

Its good. They will release their own i think next year but they have gotten stock from MGP and its time in the barrels they chose makes a good bourbon. Around here its 45 to 54 bucks, pretty good for the price

 

awesome thanks! I want to get something good, but also something they probably haven't had before

 

I hesitate to share this golden nugget, but we’re all friends here.

Check out New Riff out of Newport, KY. They’re relatively new to the scene but putting out some quality distillate. Their bourbon is high rye, BIB and their rye is good with signs of greatness.

 

Regular Knob was my favorite for a long time, I had a few bottles of the single barrel but the last one I didn't particularly care for. Might have to try it again.

 

I tried the Pinhook last year and enjoyed it. Have you tried the Bookers? My buddy has it in his store for 87 bucks, been there for months, trying to get a deal if it is good.

 

Picked up the New Riff a month or so ago, hated it ( sorry) even had a few others try it and no one has liked it so far.

 

Currently in stock at the house:
The Balvenie is amazing with just a slight smoked peat.
The Glen is good but nothing amazing, very rosy.
The Bulleit is a great bourbon with a very unique flavor.

 

I’ve had several iterations of the Booker’s and they never disappoint. They are a little on the steeper side in terms of price but there’s a lot of complexity to them and a bottle will last me quite awhile. Currently on the hunt for a bottle of the first 2020 release.

At $87 your buddy is right on in terms of price. Most places that aren’t charging secondary market prices, will have Booker’s for between $80-$90. If you pick up a bottle, you’ll have to let me know what you think.

 

Look for store picks on the single barrel KC. They tend to pull from a more aged barrel, but keep the 9 year age statement due to the labeling.

 

My first time trying this. A solid bourbon.
