ChiefsPlanet - Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there?

Looking at social media/YouTube, there is definitely a pushback among bourbon followers about what is "cool" to own these days. The rare allocated bottles used to be what was hot and now you aren't a "real" bourbon fan unless you tout some 50 dollar bottle as being better than any expensive bottle and look down upon those "wasting" money. I suppose it's like any other trend and someone will release a new rare bottle at it will be back to being all the rage and the cycle will begin again.

I kinda have fun self-aging bourbon with toasted wood chips and comparing them against high priced bottles. I use Wild Turkey or Buffalo Trace as a base. Some come out really good, but I can't control the process enough to create consistent outcomes.

For half the price, get yourself a bottle of Elijah Craig small batch, maybe $32. You'll thank me later, even if it's just for cocktails.

Hey you do you there.

I bought a bottle and enjoyed it, so I shared that, as well as the price. Over the years, I've had a collection that could rival just about anyone's. I'm not some noob to the world of bourbon. I've had more than a few bottles of your suggestion, it's perfectly fine.

I don't read every thread but I just saw this. I live right by Costco LOL...

I pulled up this thread just to bring up Eagle Rare. The bar I drink at had a "a" bottle and it's fantastic. I think I drank most of that bottle up from the other customers and it's now gone. Really smooth bourbon. I think it's made by Buffalo Trace. I want to find a bottle to buy for myself to keep at home. Keep LOL

I don't really care for Angel's Envy bourbon, but the Rye is a fantastic... I get a ton of maple syrup from it.
