Sippin' Bourbon

[TheRoland]

I had a chance to try some Weller 12yr today, that's been incredibly hard to find around me due to hype as the poor mans Pappy Van Winkle. It was fine.

I'm increasingly not impressed by higher priced Bourbons that I used to love.

Exactly how I feel about Blanton's. It's everywhere, it's good but not a premium $.

Getting into mixing drinks these days, drinking plain with no ice is getting boring.

I've been looking to do similar. My go to is still a good bourbon neat or with a couple ice cubes, but I've been wanting to mess around with cocktails a little bit. Reading through Garden & Gun's website on the regular isn't helping me curb that urge either.

Local candy store got a few bottles of Blanton's in. I've never had it before.

How much would you pay for a 750ml bottle? They're asking a small fortune...

It's usually around $60 here... when you can find it.

Same here....

It's not bad for the price. I do not remember what I paid for it, just that it checked the box for "worth the money."

A friend that works at the local Total recommended it, and had an open bottle. I think it would make a good "summer over ice" Bourbon, and probably really good in a julep.

Thanks.
I think I only paid about $14 for 750mL.
Hopefully I'll get to taste it in a week or so.

Same here. Of course, "when you can find it" = "pretty much never".

This weekend I couldn't even find Buffalo Trace on the shelves, which is my go-to. So while I don't normally go in for bourbons not made in Kentucky, I picked up a bottle of Fiddler Unison made here in Georgia. Really nice flavor.

Around my locale the Buffalo Trace stuff is well nigh impossible to find on the shelves. I did manage to score a couple bottles of their bourbon cream that I really like.

Lately I have been drinking the Bulleit 10 year, but at a lower price point still enjoy Larceny and Beam Double Oaked.

I do love the Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream! Mix it up with some Blue Bell ice cream, and you have an awfully nice adult milkshake.
