Favorite bourbon/ whiskey...

Tried Weller CYPB (Weller White) recently and was very impressed. A bottle is at joke prices though unfortunately.
I like Weller 12 in old fashioneds.

 

I literally live within minutes of where this stuff is distilled. Can find it all over the place here. If you ever run out, let me know. Happy to try and hook you up with some more. I was even able to recently snag myself a bottle that was signed not only by Clown, but New Guy, and V man as well. Iowa sure misses out on a lot of the allocated stuff (Pappy, Weller, Blanton’s, etc) but we do get lucky with some other things. Cheers!

 

Nice! I haven't opened it up yet, probably have some with my son for New Years eve.

 

Surprise and North Scottsdale. They were sold out in minutes. PV got a drop of Pappy and BTAC. Sold out in 30 minutes.

 

It's a Michters kind of evening

 

Damn. I saw one of the costcos got pappy but didn't know which one either. Not surprised tho - that North Scottsdale one always has a solid selection

 

It's crazy how much of that Costco stuff gets swooped up before anyone else get to it. Lots of people with good connections.

 

No kidding. I bought a bottle of Whistle Pig Homestock from the costco in N. Phoenix a couple weeks ago. Bought it late Wed night and they had tons in stock - went back Saturday AM as soon as they opened it was gone. I have a connection out in Nashville who usually helps supply me allocated stuff not found in AZ, but that connection will be going away in the next 12mo sadly... (he's moving west)

 

Thanks for all the fun 2020!

 

T minus 5 hours till the pandemic is over...Well done fellas!

 

The barrel strength stuff that's about 125 proof really gets it done

 

Finally someone who pours like I do!
Just saves time... because you know you will go back for a refill.... Cheers!

 

I joined this forum because of all the useful info on Tundras, but this is my new favorite thread!

I’ve got a collection I’ve been working on for years that includes some great finds
Pappy 15
William Larue Weller
George T Stagg
Weller C.Y.P.B.
E.H. Taylor single barrel
Blanton straight from the barrel
And a few other rare ones.

I’ve really been enjoying some store picks from a few local shops lately and was lucky enough to get a few great bottles of a Russell’s reserve barrel that is as good as anything I’ve had.

opened a Weller 12 to ring in the new year last night and always like that one!

 

Man down!! Next up!

 

Some heat but a very good sipper, after all it is a BT mashbill.

 

Going up highway 65 (north) out of Arkansas, cross the Missouri state line and in a couple miles take a left on 86...at the stop light. as you go up 86 a few hundred feet, you'll see the entrance on the right. You can google it too. Top of the Rock, Arnie's Barn.... Awesome place to visit.

 

Pendleton

 

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof or Knob Creek Single Barrel

 

When i see ECBF...I just have to get it. And the RR was on sale.

 

I just started growing my collection in December but so far my favorites are definitely the Blanton's Single Barrel, Eagle Rare 10, and Stagg Jr.

 

Nice ! A few of my favorites in your collection . . .

 

That's a really solid start. You'll get a good idea of what you like off of those bottles.

 

This ain't your grand dad's Jack for sure, this is some hot stuff and it even tastes great. The 1792, only had a sample at the store but that was awesome too.

 

Been trying all kinds of whiskey for years and years, some good, some bad, but nothing has ever come close to the all around balance of Glenlivet 12.

Its cheap, consistent, and you can find it anywhere, drink it for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it goes with any meal

 

Second the 1792. Here (Texas) at Christmas time the local liquor store sells the 1792 Full Proof and I normally get 2-3 bottles of it if I can. Good stuff. Definitely my go to bourbon. My second would be Woodford Reserve.

 

Same here...very good choices...

 

What’s your favorite everyday sipper that’s widely available and won’t break the bank?
I appreciate and have a few real rare ones but what can you enjoy that you always find?
I’m shocked at what’s never available anymore... I used to drink EH Taylor single barrel and there were bottles collecting dust a few years back, then McKenna 10 was my go to until it dried up and now I love four roses single barrel at $38.99.
What’s your everyday favorite?

 

For whisky, it's Forty Creek but don't know of any good cheap bourbons offhand.

 

I’ll give it a whirl, my local big box has it.
I love a lot of bourbons but have a few scotches, Tennessee whiskeys, Irish (Redbreast!) and Canadians that can stand tall in the crowd!
