Favorite Whiskey?

Been away from this thread far too long.
Current fave is the free Jefferson’s that’s Being poured at the Centurion Lounge in PHL.

At home, new fave is the Stranahans Solara finished. (Blue label)

 

Google how alcohol distribution works in the U.S. What a cluster...

Welcome back! Haven't seen you in this thread for some time. Thought you might have gotten on the wagon...

 

All is well. Just went to Dublin with Husband for the weekend and it got me thinking of this fine group!

 

This stuff is so good

 

My favorite Weller

 

Gonna be sad when this bottle is gone it’s the best single barrel select I’ve had.

 

Save me some

 

My buddy got a pretty good trifecta at BevMo this morning. Sold out when I went a couple hours later. Manager said they only got 6 bottles each of Weller & EH. They still had ER but I don't much care for it.

 

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Weller in the beverage store here.

However I’m on the list for one of the six bottles of Blanton’s coming into the local Coast Guard exchange next month. Hope I like it.

 

My local BevMo has gotten weller sr the last two weeks in a row but only three bottles each time. They have been out of stock of Buffalo trace for 6 weeks now though crazy because the last year they have always had full shelves.

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

 

The local beverage stores here get Buffalo Trace in about once every three months and it sells out within a week. They don’t even put it out, you have to ask for it.

 

Eagle rare at retail …. Omg does not happen here I paid 100$ but supply and demand I guess.

 

$100 is above secondary for a single barrel store pick of ER, shipped. Average is $70, less for a standard shelf bottle.

 

Wife just picked this up for me for my birthday in a couple weeks. She doesn’t know I know though.

 

I saw this at Costco yesterday. Really neat bottle and stopper which probably means the juice in it sucks lol.

 

Never know unless you try. But you’re probably right. Any time money is spent on novelty, the liquid inside is also novelty.

 

Last time I was in Costco I saw a bottle elaboratively shaped like a dragon. It was kind of amazing, but I thought the same thing - contents are terrible but you're getting a cool bottle.


Edit - I looked it up and it's XO Brandy. Here's a pic. $99
