Favorite Bourbon

[Bob T]

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

Yes, I can always find Buffalo Trace in Knoxville.

Blanton's pops occasionally, but you have to act fast, and it does go for $65-80 a bottle. (I do have a couple bottles put away).

Weller I find more often than Blanton's, but it also goes out of the stores fast.

Sazerac Rye is another that comes and goes...I am down to half a bottle right now.

But I don't mind much, there is always something I like on the store shelf. Or something new to try...

Just started sampling Japanese whiskeys recently and I like 'em.

Bob, try Middlebrook Liquor for Weller. They stock it more reliably than McScrooges. Don't expect Weller 12 there though.

Good to know. I can usually find it closer to home, (we are east of Broadway, north of 640), and I can often find it Bob's when down that way, but it is good to have a back up. Beside, I have never been to Middlebrook and should check it out.

You are in my friend Lawrence Yeatts' area. Middlebrook has both a good selection, a wall of Bourbon, as well as good prices. I'm behind the Children's Hospital Outpatient facility, West (the cheap side) on Westland from I140 (AKA Pellisippi).

? I like Buffalo Trace, but there are plenty others in the price range just as good or better...However...I am glad you found what you wanted...So enjoy!

My buddy bought me a shot recently of the Four Roses limited edition small batch - wow

Yeah Buffalo is good but to me it’s not good enough to stockpile. Now Weller 107? That stuff is stockpile worthy. And for the record I liked it before it was cool!

Got bottles of both the small batch & single barrel,but have'nt bothered stocking up as they always seems to be available around here.
Anyhow I did'nt realize there was a limited edition of the small batch,,,I might have to look into that deal???

***EDIT***

That was quick,,,I guess I know why I might've "forgotten" about the limited editions...
Waaayyy outta my $$$$ range,LOL.

But yeah I bet it's some tasty hooch.

Yeah, way out of mine too - but it's nice to have friends!

I splurged on a bottle of it a month or two back. It lasted about 3 weeks, maybe four. I thought it was very tasty.

Is that the same as the Four Roses Single barrel? My friend swears by that stuff. Apparently there are 4 different variations?

 

[Grainger49]

At 120 proof I needed a little more water for the mix. I tried several straight drinks but they took my head off. Maybe at 68 I'm a cheap drunk?

Just checked the cabinet, and found bottle of Weller 107, way in the back. Must have forgotten it was there.

Also have a few other things tucked away in that cabinet...

 

[mhedges]

Well it sounds like you wouldn't miss it then - send it my way!

Well, you are only 4 1/2 hours away. Stop by, and I'd be glad to share.

There was a single Blantons sitting on the shelf.....it came to a good home.

Still enjoying Old Weller Antique 107 proof out here on the left coast. I can't believe what the 12 year old Weller is going for out here. ($150 vs. $35)

Nice selection, Bob.

Did in a bottle of Knob Creek last week with a buddy of mine. Forgot how smooth it was. Being 100 proof, it is a lot smoother than most 80s out there. I had it as a Xmas gift. May get another soon, but at $37, plus tax a fifth I will make this one last longer than one sitting.
