Well, I'll have to give it a shot if I see it then.
I'm not a huge bourbon drinker but Woodford reserve is excellent and doesn't break the bank.

I very rarely turn down a bottle of Maker's 46. Woodford reserve is a solid choice, and Ive been making a conscious effort to try something new every chance I get. Just to see whats out there.

I've always pretty much stuck to Maker's and actually still enjoy good ole Jack Daniels. Bourbon is my drink of choice and I like to try different brands. I usually stick with what works without paying a lot. Looking to try some Blanton's soon, though.

Correct. It is typically hard to find, at least in the Midwest. As an aside, there are 8 separate corks.
Blantons is made by Buffalo Trace; which is an incredibly underrated bourbon in my opinion.

First batch...read ‘em & weep. The good news
is that they mail order.
Launceston Distillery - the finest quality Tasmanian single malt whisky
It smells like caramel & tastes sensational. BTW the glass has a little blob on the bottom which puts it out of kilter.

My favorite
I'm not sure it's underrated as it never sits on shelves for very long. You basically have to know the store owner or the delivery dates to be able to pick up a bottle anymore.

Re: Buffalo Trace. Interesting what’s available in different regions the county. I can find Buffalo Trace for under $30 any time at most local liquor stores.
Ah, you were referencing BT not Blantons. Got it now.

LOL
You know my thoughts on Blantons!
That's actually why I thought you were referencing it.
We had a white elephant at work yesterday. I brought a bottle of Elijah Craig 12 year, but purposely did a crappy wrapping job. Turned out to be by far the best gift anyone brought.

Yeah my friend has been trying to get me into scotches, it's been pretty hit or miss for me. I prefer the lighter lowland scotches and a few of the brinier scotches out there over the in your face levels of peat from Islay. Not really a fan of feeling like I just got punched in the mouth when I'm drinking.

My FIL likes Buffalo Trace, not my favorite, but I'd rate it in the Bulleit/Knob Creek Category at its price point, good for mixing and decent on it's own. Whereas regular Jim Beam is a mixer for me.
I bought a bottle of Jim Beam Distillers Cut the other day at $23 a bottle. For being only 100 proof, it has some heat to it. Solid pickup for the price.
Totally agree. I will say though that Ooh-Rah is spot on about a cigar being a gamechanger in the flavor profile and making that stuff actually enjoyable.
We've got a local that I believe is better than Blanton's, and the distiller is a friggin Ranger and 18D that grew up moonshining... even more better.
Get out here and we'll take you to the bourbon basket itself... ask @Ranger Psych if it's worth the trip...
This recommendation alone has me sold. How do we ship to FL in February?
