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.
Anyone familiar with James E Pepper 1776 bourbon? I got a package from a client 1776 100 proof bourbon and Old Pepper Rye cask strength. gonna try it out tonight the bourbon and the little i've read about it I am excited. https://jamesepepper.com/

Now, if you're lucky, you will maybe find the Straight Rye at about $75 and the Small Batch for around $45. Good luck with any of the more limited releases, they pretty much vanish instantly.
I spotted a row of EH Taylor Single Barrel at $90ea yesterday. This place is known for their markups though. [Reply]
I inquired about getting a bottle of High West A Midwinter's Night Dram last year at my local store. They didn't get any bottles but kept my name on their list for allocated bottles for this year. To my surprise they called yesterday and had a bottle waiting for me.
It wasn't cheap but it is by far the best Rye I have ever tasted.

He is normally a big Jack Daniel fan, single barrel and Gentlemen, but he started saying something about wanting a nice bourbon the other day.
So what would you guys buy for him, I was thinking Buffalo Trace from the reviews but really not sure
Also a really nice bourbon at about the same price point is Russel's Reserve 10 yo. Also check out the holiday box sets. For the normal price of the bourbon you get a couple nice whiskey glasses. Knob creek always has a nice set and its good bourbon. I was in Sam's club and Four Roses had a really nice box set. Im not really much for Four Roses but many here are. [Reply]
Hadn’t heard of Angels Envy or Russel’s Reserve before I will look into those. Have had Knob Creek before thought about getting him that. I heard of Four Roses and have thought he might like it.
I’m looking for something that’s easy to sip, if that makes any difference in options. It might also be something he mixes every now and then [Reply]

Can't recommend High West enough
Just cracked open a bottle of Act 6 Scene 3 this weekend. It is very nice this year. Great spice and depth of flavor. [Reply]
