Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.

Ugh.
Just last year, i bought an Antique for $35 which is a great deal and the great price was the only reason to buy antique. The same store just had a store pick antique for $60. It's good but there's many whiskies I'd rather get for around $60 including Elijah craig barrel proof, larceny barrel proof, makers cask, stagg Jr. and more. So basically if you can find antique for retail price, it's worth it but not for more than $50. Same thing applies to Weller 12 in my opinion. [Reply]

Yeah. I just like to try different things but i could drink happily if the only bourbon i had was evan Williams Bib or wild turkey 101. Tons of great cheaper options. List could go on. [Reply]

Sucks no Derby in May.
Derby Day is our favorite. Gonna miss the shit out of it this year.
Congrats on the toppers. I have 17 toppers and somehow don't have the set. Have been offered trades but want to do it the right way. [Reply]
From about the age of 30 to about 40 I drank a lot of Bourbon & Coke, mostly Jim Beam, if someone asked what does it taste like, I would say Cherry Coke. For some reason I kind of went back to beer in my 40's and now the only alcohol I drink is Sangria. [Reply]

I'm jealous.
A friend of mine and me got super excited on a likely lead on barrel proof but the store got in the regular EH Taylor instead. Think EH Taylor when you can get it is my favorite at $40. [Reply]

Single Barrel, Small Batch and Straight Rye are three of my all time favorites.
