    Every so often, the Pa State Liquor system has a limited release lottery where they offer up "the good stuff" and couldn't help but notice this offering:

    At least it's not "The Chairman's selection"! Proper name for that organization!

    I'd just rather drive to Jersey!

    I have heard of guys driving to NJ for Hot Dogs and White Castle, but booze was usually Delaware. Something about the tax, IIRC?

    For two grand, that stuff should be hand delivered and poured by a scantily clad server of the purchaser's preference.

    Walked into one of my less favored stores yesterday. Every now and then they have something interesting that they're not trying to scalp on. Notably 1792 Full Proof, semi-regularly, for a reasonable price. Yesterday they had some Early Times BiB, on the shelf, not in the allocation display case . I asked if there was a limit. Now it is mine.

    So I have been experimenting. I got some tasting glasses and some Varieties.

    with the Knob being close behind, the very expensive Bulleit being just okay and the Wild Turkey 101 being interesting primarily due to its intense spicy peppery after taste. Not what I always want, but sometimes.

    Doing some research:

    EC is owned by Heaven Hill, a family owned American company.

    Knob Creek is owned by Beam which is itself owned by a Japanese conglomerate.

    Bulleit is owned by Diageo, a giant international conglomerate based in England.

    Wild Turkey is owned by Campari, an Italian company.

    For me, with a drink as American as Bourbon, I will send my future dollars to Elijah Craig/Heaven Hill. Doesn’t hurt that it is extremely tasty.

    Heaven Hill has several worthy Bourbons in its lineup.

    Elijah Craig is a staple in our small liquor cabinet.

    I hadn’t dug into ownership. EC is a favorite of mine too. So is Four Roses small batch.
