Favorite Whiskey?

Pffffttttt. I wish I could find some local lol.

 

I've also been hanging on to a bottle of Eagle Rare I managed to find (at normal price) a few months back!

 

Eagle Rare is such a good bottle, it's a steal at retail

 

The big retailers around here are only receiving half a case at a time which are instantly snapped up the second they touch the shelf. The local grocers are selling a bottle for $80+. Don't even get me started on the Ma&Pa shops!

 

Damn! We're pretty lucky here, local grocery store usually has them for $36

 

The bottle I'm holding in reserve, I managed to snag from Total Wine for $35.

 

POV: you tweak your back working in the yard

 

ER is a-ok whiskey but not worth a penny over MSRP and I refuse to pay more. $40 or bust.

Especially when Rare Breed is widely available for ~$60.

 

Tonight’s first pour was a Calumet 16 followed up by this store pick Rebel. I’m a huge Rebel 10 fan and this cask strength is great for ~$50 a bottle. About half the price of the 10yr.

 

Finishing off the night with a store pick Blanton’s.

 

Good to know. I have one of these on the back burner.

Rebel is a good value for the $$$.

 

Have to agree, Rare Breed is a damn good bottle and easily available

 

I have one of those I need to crack. Luckily they let me sample it in store before the purchase, it was pretty damn good.

 

I'm not a huge Wild Turkey fan, but I did buy a bottle of Long Branch. It wasn't a bad sipper, and made for a decent Whiskey Sour. I did also pick up a bottle of Rare Breed Rye. I haven't cracked the seal yet to give my opinion.

 

There are so many readily available really good bourbons in the $60 SRP range (not Blantons ), it really doesn't make sense to overpay for BT or ER.

 

Hit a few of distilleries on the TN Whiskey trail. I think Dickel was better than Jack, and Chattanooga Whiskey was better than both of them.

 

I just started a bottle of Chatanooga, and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it! Good flavor all around, with a little bit of post burn from the alcohol. It's not a super smooth whiskey like Basil Haydens dark rye, but it's very enjoyable

 

I'm curious about the Silver. I have a bottle of Buffalo Trace White, but I haven't cracked it yet.

 

The sample I had at the distillery was quite smooth.

 

So far, all the White Lightning I've tried, I've liked.
