Favorite Whiskey?

Jesus. The reaction to these things has me tempted to get a backup set. But...I can't. Too much premium whiskey in the backlog already.

 

Good score.

 

Gobble, gobble. Hunting turkey. One down, tracking another.

 

Just kicked an EC Private Barrel. So delicious, luckily I was able to get back and pick up a spare.

Good way to start a week off that includes 3 days in Kentucky!

 

Friday Ryeday with some of @JoeySauce ’s juice

 

Finished off the Rye last night and picked up a bottle of Russell’s Reserve

 

So, did some shopping at a liquor store that just opened down the street from my house.

 

Out camping and I had to pull another sample. JM Cigar Blend 115.52 proof. It's good, but not spectacular. Of course I had to have a cheap cigar after trying it. Not much data in the wilderness so you'll have to take my word for it - pics won't upload

 

Mind me asking what you paid for the Blanton's SFTB?

 

Paid $250. They had a Blanton's Gold for $200. My cousin in FL has the Gold already. Going to crack them both when I visit in Sept.

 

Seems like that’s a pretty normal retail price, you didn’t get extorted

 

Living in the smallest state where the local stores have no chain competition makes it difficult to find bottles at a decent price sometimes.

 

Trade offs. You have access to bottles I’d rarely see if ever.

 

How much you pay for them? Local-ish store had all 3 for $99 ea
They also had damn near everything else (GTS for $499, blantons for $159, all wellers, couple EHTs, lots of Michters stuff, etc etc etc)

 

And these. Lady didn’t know the prices. Offered $100 ea and she didn’t take, I was like, come on, it’s only Jack Daniel’s

 

240 and change with tax for all three. I want to say the tag was at 70 for the bourbon and 80 for the blend and the rye.

 

do they have a website?

 

No website

 

I know someone that would snag that GTS

 

nice!!

I know how I feel about that bottle…what did you think?
