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.

Drink that bottle and get used to the taste. Try it neat and then with ice. Huge difference. My favorite is angles envy but I am currently doing Elijah Craig which I like.

You already know where I am from. Haha.
I will have to check the local draconian liquor stores. Damn state stores are barren.

While watching preseason I've been dipping into a bottle of Russel's Reserve 10 yr I bought last night and it's pretty solid for $30 price point and can actually find it. [Reply]

I am a woodford snob so I’ll recommend starting g there
To me, Woodford is bourbon that folks like when they want "smooth". It's just not for me. I like my bourbon to have some fire to it and Woodford typically has a lot less character and complexity than even a lot of my favorite cheap bourbons.
When it comes to bourbon, start with Evan Williams white label. If you like it, move on from there. [Reply]
Blantons continues to be my favorite and benchmark for non cask strength. I’m rationing the hell out of what I have and wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a substitute that you can actually buy? [Reply]

I can find Blanton’s here every few months but it’s now going for $70 here.
No thanks at that price.
You want it and I can get it for you though. Have an Arizona Barrel pick for $75 I can likely find too.

Exactly this for me too.
Smooth isn’t a characteristic I care about. To me that’s a fairly boring bourbon. I want a little fire and complexity on the finish. [Reply]
