The lengths for a good bourbon

Husband is sick so plan B for Valentine’s Day is have a few drinks at home this evening...

Hit the local liquor store today and they had a pretty piss poor selection of bourbon... not to mention the fact their shelves were a mess. The Bourbon, Rye and Whiskey were all jumbled together.

They were having a flash sale on Jefferson Very Small Batch. Super cheap price and one left on the shelf so I grabbed it. Not bad. I’d buy it again to make Old Fashions with :xyxthumbs:

I’m a huge fan of Jefferson. The very small batch is good but my favorite is the Ocean.
 
Someone say booze, just picked up two more Four Rose barrel picks (OESQ and OBSK) but a bunch of pics won't upload to this site except these I had. Saw a bunch of peeps mentioning Blantons but the only one I like is their SFTB, the regular SiB is mediocre to me (BTs own other offerings are way better like JJB). Edit - crap these pics look like, well crap, uploaded here lol. Oh well, dont feel like reuploading to imgur and linking lol.

Actually not a crap ton of others at that distillery. There are plenty of other distilleries there, agreed. Angel’s Envy is another favorite of mine.

Would love to taste Pappy some day.

Sazarac (BT) actually owns a ton of offerings they distill. They even do custom distillate for Bowman whose under the Saz/BT umbrella that they ship to their distillery in VA to redistill and age. But you have a ton of stuff they distill in KY not just regular BT. You have GTS, Stagg Jr, EHT, ER, Rockhill Farms, Sazarac, OC, Elmer and variations of most (let alone all the allocated offerings) etc. And Blantons Gold and SFTB which are only for overseas distribution but that was the agreement upheld when Saz bought the place, that they would distill that (Takara owns the rights to Blantons) for them, but allow SiB to be sold here.
 
Picked up some Basil Hayden the other day... liked it!
Going to try some Whistle pig Rye next.
Also have a friend who's going to grab me some Eagle Rare hopefully this weekend :xyxthumbs:

Eagle Rare Picks are phenomenal, actually don't care for regular ER, but store picks are generally top notch. Current one was only $35 and pry best ER Pick I've had in years.

The total collapse of this Kentucky
Bourbon rackhouse, back in 2018,
probably has been a factor towards
its current state of scarcity.

Nearly 20,000 barrels—down the drain. :(

If you have trouble with finding Eagle's Rare I can send you where you can find it online for under $40.
I need to get a larger Bourbon bar!

I appreciate that... only issue is a lot of other states won't ship to PA. So even online isn't an option a lot of time.

Is this your collection? IMPRESSIVE!

Yes been collection for a couple years and occasionally sampling!
 
Just hit my local shops lottery for a bottle Of Pappy Van Winkle 15!!! Last year I won the Eagle Rare 17...
 
Surprised no one mentioned Angels Envy. If you haven’t tried it, try it.
 
Bought a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch this evening. Was on sale.
It’s not bad... probably my least favorite I’ve bought lately. But not bad.
 
curious if anyone would actually open a bottle a pappy 20 or er 17? some bottles have gone stratospheric and wondering if purchase price vs. replacement price is giving anyone pause. (or maybe i've just reached that 'get off my lawn age!').
