Fortunately, recreational pot is sold in stores here as well and I think this keeps many folks away from the good bourbons. To each their own I guess.

Ok, second try. The pictures still won't load. I guess I'll have to open the manual.
The discovery yesterday was Ezra Brooks for $21.12/1.75L. Straight it is very tasty. I'm sure there were "Notes", "Hints" and a "Finish" there but I haven't a clue on how to describe them.
Then I was going to post a picture of Joshua Book (not Brooks) that was distilled in Kentucky and bottled in Fairfield California. Just why would you transport bulk Bourbon to California to bottle and ship it back to Tennessee in smaller containers to sell?

Damn, that's ridiculous. The last bottle of Weller 12 I found (a couple of years ago) was ~$18.

Are you sure it wasn't more than a couple years ago? I don't think there have been 12 year aged products under $20 since the early 2000's at least.

Maybe it's their "aged on the road" series.... like Jefferson's "aged at sea". lol
I found Elijah Craig barrel proof, but the price comes out $115 after taxes. Is this a justifiable buy? Anyone?

Also a single barrel knob creek 9 years. Anyone with a feedback?
I was browsing and found the knob creek and the above mentioned Elijah Craig barrel proof. Everything I read seems to be at least 4/5 for these two. Would love to hear what you guys think and what prices would make sense.

Black Maple Hill 21 if you can find it. Sell your first born if need be.

Like Bulleit also, but presently enjoying some Woodford Reserve. Nice.

I think the Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve is excellent, one of the better values in (near) barrel proof whiskeys. Even at 120 proof, I drink it neat in a Glencairn glass and it isn't too hot, but it is very tasty. On sale around here, it can be had for ~$33, which is quite a deal for such a whiskey.

It was 3-4 years ago. At that time, Weller 12 (as well as Reserve and 107) went on sale frequently. Nowadays, most Buffalo Trace products are in fairly short supply around here, including staples such as Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare.

ECBP is an excellent bourbon, very nice in proof though. I think, around $60 a bottle is the starting price if you can find it.

I believe I saw some in fall 2015 here in GJ for under $30.

Ever since it was privatized in our state, the taxes went to hell at over 20%. There's a talk of lowering it recently, but we'll see...

I got lucky today. After checking out all the big liquor stores finding nothing, I stopped by a small local grocery store to pickup some snacks for work. Passing by a liquor cabinet, I see Elijah Craig small batch. Next to it I see two bottles of Barrel Proof. Grabbed 'em as quickly as I can. $64 each plus taxes it came out to $77 each.
I think these are batch #12 @ 136 proof.

I recently picked up some silicone molds for large cubes and spheres. Size really does make a difference when you aren't slamming down your drinks!
