West Bottoms has some promise but needs more time IMO, not unlike Reiger. Right now it’s offensively un-mellow for something so low proof.

Thanks...I've tried Rieger's and your reaction is the same as mine.

I tried to buy some Four Roses at Hy Vee yesterday, but they had a sale on 750ml bottle and was sold out. Think it was around $12 a bottle. So I bought Jim Beam instead. I'll drink Evan Williams too. Only time I get the good stuff is if its a gift.

For the money, it's Evan's all day long over Jim Beam for me. I really think Jim Beam is one of the most over rated whiskeys out there. I do like the Beam Black, but not so much that I feel the need to run out and get it.

Evan Williams for the affordable bourbon hands down.

Have you tried the Stedman's that SRVY posted earlier?

I had some Buffalo Trace last night. Decent stuff for bourbon but as I've said, I'm not a huge bourbon fan.

Did I mention

I will be traveling through Kentucky later this month. On the waiting list for the Buffalo Trace tour. I am hoping to score some of the locally hard to find bottles i.e. Blantons

Any recommendations for Bourbons that are only available in Kentucky?

Girls at the office went in and got me a bottle of Macallan rare cask

It’s pretty good. After today’s shit show that was my day, it’s really good

I got turned on to that at Harry's Tables in Westport about 20 years ago. Pretty good poop. Between it and Springbank i could do without anything else. Maybe a nice 2o YO Lagavulin

I had a glass of 25 year macallan a few months ago

Spoiled me

You will enjoy that tour. Plenty of small distilleries you can visit on the Bourbon Tour. I actually enjoyed Makers Mark tour the best.

I've had a couple bottles of Reiger's. I like it, but it's usually around $35 a bottle and isn't that much different than Evan Williams for $12 a bottle.

Mitchers on sale at Mike's up the road. Cashier claims it's really good I'm not a huge rye guy though

how on sale?
