Any Bourbon drinkers out there?
I've heard some good things about Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
http://www.buffalotrace.com/ 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. Thanks |

Billay, can you find old Ezra 7 year there?
Also how about knob creek single reserve? 120 proof, easy to find and great value. |

Sipping on an Elijah Craig small batch store pick from Plumpjack Wines in California. Their 2019 EC pick is still available in their web store and is a steal at $30.

Yes, yes you should have. I was lucky to find one in Lawrence back in December. My wife is a huge rye fan, so she was over-the-top thrilled.

Some ones I recently tried:
Woodinville (nice, sweet, light, with spice, vanilla bean and caramel) Bulleit 10 year (oak, dried fruit, and smoky finish) Bowman Port Barrel Finish (Port fragrance on the nose, baked fruit, char finish) Balcones Baby Blue (butter popcorn aromas and tastes with caramel notes) Balcones Brimstone (Bold Texas whiskey with strong BBQ/bacon overtones) Widow Jane 12 (pear and butterscotch up front, smoky chocolate finish) Peerless Single Barrell (creme broulet, roasted nuts, salted caramel) All very different, but good in their own right. The Texas whiskeys are truly unique, made from blue heritage corn. I keep turning to them even if my mind tells me not to. For you whiskey drinkers...try Peerless. They're pretty new, and way overpriced, but I suspect they're going to be an ultra-premium distiller in short order. |

This was a tremendous tip. So cheap and almost perfect for old fashioneds. Not about to drink it by itself, but much better than other Evan Williams stuff IMO. Thanks!

Glad to have helped! I plan to stock this all the time. I can get a handle for around $29 and will do everything from drink neat to make cocktails for friends. Best value out there IMO. |
