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.

If you don't mind sharing, what did they charge you retail? I walked into one about 2 months ago and the store clerk rang it up for $399.99. I passed. [Reply]

A lazy boozin' is great for high volume bottles, just watch out for marrying someone obsessed with RumChata Limon (that yellow bottle I tried my best to eclipse in the photo) so you don't have share your space with that kind of crap. [Reply]

I'm not the type to directly ask "what's in the back?" at this place but do feel a solid strategy is to stop in a few minutes after they open on a weekday. Gives more time to shoot the shit than during peak hours and the likelihood of no one else being in the store can lead to them offering something up. I've had success with that in the past, but today was mostly luck. [Reply]

EH Taylor Barrel Proof
Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond (my cocktail mixer thanks to this thread)
High West Bourye
High West Midwinter Nights Dram
Old Forrester 1920
West Bottoms Kansas City Whiskey
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye
Just reading thru this thread looking for a place to jump in...
My most recent add to my bourbons was several of the 1792s. I was out and had some, but could not remember which variety. I just knew that I liked what I had. My wife asked me about that, pretending to be passing the info on to a friend of ours, and on Father's Day, presented me with 1792 Single Barrel, 1792 Bottled in Bond, and 1792 Small Batch.
Of the three, I think I like Small Batch the best.
In the house right now, just off the top of my head:
Uncle Nearest
Elmer T Lee
Four Roses
Willett Pot
1792
Sinatra Jack
Jefferson's Ocean
Gentleman Jack
Crown Royal Cask 16
and probably the strangest thing that turned out to be really damn good... James T. Kirk [Reply]

Big fan of the entire 1792 series, along with the Four Roses series. Enjoy Elmer Lee but can’t seem to find it to add to the collection. Have recently found some Dickel BiB at my local honey spot and it is tasty. [Reply]
