I have a half bottle of Single Barrel and a bottle+ of Rye and I'm treating it as liquid gold.

Buffalo Trace is my daily. Only hit the good bottles once and a while.

Also, depends on my stash. More likely to drink the upscale stuff if I have a bottle or 5 stashed.

I think I have 5-6 bottles of McKenna 10 BiB right now, so I don't feel bad drinking it.

We have a hoarder.

Great shit gents. I’m proud. Way better than me.

Had some barrel pick Knob Creek Special Reserve, 120 proof neat. Just great finish on this.

You know, I've never had a Knob Creek offering.

I've almost pulled the trigger at Liquor Express in Tempe, but haven't yet.

Damn right.

McKenna 10 goes for $75+ on the secondary market. I have a place I can get it regularly for $40.

Typically buy a half case at a time.

I’ve had the total wine barrel selects of their cask strength bourbon and rye and was rather impressed for the price. Both 120 proof but think I preferred to bourbon.

I wonder if I should put my bottles in my will. Wife first, brother in law second, O.City third.

McKenna 10 has been hard to find here since it made news with awards a while back. I have a sealed bottle but had a few before. While very good for the retail price point it was disappointing after the hype. I think eagle rare was similar in this is really great for the price until it blew up.

When it's good, it's as good as it gets at the $35-40 price point and 100 proof.

Not necessarily. I control who gets what bottles.

Ugh.

Tried this last night, good stuff, it is definitely hot at 107 proof.

I have never had the Elmer T Lee I have looked for it in sample sizes before I drop that coin.

Have you tried Noah's Mill its a little higher price point than Rowans but it's pretty good. I get it when I cant find Rowans which I prefer.

No, I haven’t. I usually buy what I like and stick with that. And I like scotch too. My experiments usually come over my friends places. That’s where I had rowans the first time. With a cigar by the pool

Great hot finish on the Antique. I absolutely love it......but loved it more around $40-50 and I can't find it at that much anymore!
