The Ocean is good. It was the first real Bourbon I was introduced to and now hard to go backwards. The Reserve is just as good minus a few subtleties, for less money.

Elijah Craig. What was the 12 year is now NOS and said to be a blend of 8 and 12 y.o. I still have several bottles of the 12 and find the NOS quite comparable. The 26 and cask strength are great swill but I like the regular stuff for everyday just fine.
Four Roses small batch for casual drinking.

Favourite Bourbon?
Still Marie Antoinette.
Why?
That incredible Breguet Grand complication.

If you can find Dickel 12 in your area, that is a damn fine choice and it is still reasonably priced.

I like Dickel for whiskey sours.

Since last year, I've been hoarding Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. I've gathered about half dozen bottles from different locations. It's becoming harder to find at decent price. Last week, I picked up two bottles at $75 each after taxes. Receiving all the awards this year, I think it'll be even harder to find from now on.
Look what Santa brought to me. It is 120 proof and makes me say, "HOOOOOooooo" with every sip. But it is Great tasting.

Great hooch. Another I like equally well is Russell's Reserve Single Barrel (not the Small Batch 10 year), though the Knob Creek is less expensive around here. Both are excellent. Another good one is Rowan's Creek from Willett.

I can't drink anymore but I keep seeing what I think is new in commercials....."Tin Cup" Now if that doesn't sound rich I don't know
what does.
I keep seeing Fagen in my avatar and it seems to me that every pic of him never changes. Always the same deadpan expression.

"Fagen" has a portrait at home that gets older ever year. Sorry esoteric.

Buffalo Trace and Blanton's shortage.....who's feeling it?

Have a bottle of each on the shelf @ the moment,so no I'm not feeling any shortage just yet.
That said,,,I look for both anytime I'm in a liquor store,,,and were I seeing them I'd definitely have more on the shelf.
So I'd hafta agree it seems to be getting harder to find lately.
Same with ANY varieties of Weller,,,but I still have some of that around here too...
These days I mostly drink Gentleman Jack as my regular "go-to" hooch just because I know there should'nt be any shortages of that.
That and I like it in whiskey sours,which is my prefered mixed drink,and I dont feel any shame using that stuff for mixers either.

I just saw a bunch of Buffalo Trace on the shelf here in Knoxville. I didn't notice if there was any Blanton's.
