Favorite Whiskey?

I’ve worked in those warehouses a lot over the past 12 years. Not the news you want to see when you wake up.

 

Speaking of Buffalo Trace, Costco has it in MA for $25. Eagle for $27. Can't find them anywhere close to that at other shops!

Went here once with a friend. We hung out, sampled, and bought some stuff. Cool place, cool people.

 

I can imagine fighting a fire there would be even harder as most everything in the warehouse is highly flammable. 45,000 barrels in the one warehouse, that’s sad. Wonder what it will do to the supply and price in the market.

 

Pretty sure I saw Buffalo Trace at BJs In Northborough for like 23.99 they had eagle rare but I forget the price; I think I remember under $30.

 

Friend told me to go shopping for whiskey today for him. Meeting up tomorrow. Told me I had $100 budget to get him some new stuff to try. At least 2 bottles was requested. Obviously, this is gonna depend on what's available big time but I'm leaning towards some of these:

Even Williams BiB
4 Roses SiB or small batch select
1792 Full Proof
Michter's straight Rye
Eagle Rare
Baby Saz
Mellow Corn
Larceny
Old Forester 1920


He is like me and newish to the game. Thoughts on the best sampler pack?

 

As you know I don't know crap about whiskey BUT the Mellow Corn has peaked my interest. I am thinking of picking some up to try out.

 

it is a good bottle to have on hand and cheap. makes a real good mixer!

 

May pick some up once I get back from the mountains. It's burny ain't it?

 

haha. nah... it's mellow duh!

 

It makes me laugh, I am big into tequila and it doesn't phase me at all. I can feel the heat but it's nothing to me. I also like moonshine and that doesn't phase me, but I'll be damned if the first time I drank the Buffalo Trace it didn't kick back like I was doing shots of ghost pepper juice.

 

need to get you some Booker's! or a barrel proof whiskey! Film that first sip

 

Bring it on.

 

I'm gonna have some samples coming your way after the 4th.

 

I can't be the only one hoping and praying that the Beam warehouse wasnt full of bookers...

 

All I saw so far is that it was "young bourbon".

curious to see an hoping you're right!

 

Anybody ever heard of Very Old Barton? I discovered it a few months ago and don't drink Beam anymore. It's so much smoother and less than $20 a half gallon!

 

The article said it was young bourbon of the Jim Beam mash bill and there should be no effect on consumers.
