Today's Bourbon

[sweemzander]

Man! How do you guys do it! Enjoy, brother!

I will mirror what has already been said: get to know your liquor stores, managers, and whisky buyers. What costs a ridiculous amount in the secondary market, I simply paid the normal msrp for

Thanks, @Tennessee Dave! Just raised a toast to you for Weller Antique suggestion! Very good Bourbon. And you are right: each store I visited said the same thing. They get a case of ten bottles and each goes to ten best customers for that year as a thanks. But the clerk also agreed with your assessment. Weller Reserve and Antique are very close to Pappy, if not indistinguishable to the novice palate. The 12 Year and Larue are scarce now. Three years ago he had everything in stock. Pappy and Weller. Then GQ did an article saying Weller 12 year was just as good as Pappy, and his stock was gone that day in an hour.

Some local single cask. Guy makes a ton of stuff and all great.

Tonight's drink. Next purchase Black Maple Hill or Jefferson's Ocean?

Not a fan of Jefferson's Ocean. Maybe it's in my head, but it tasted a little salty to me. Have never tried Black Maple Hill but here in NY it's one of those hard to find bourbons.

Last nights bourbon, my everyday "premium" bourbon since I can purchase at Costco at a pretty good price.
I ran out but luckily had another bottle stashed away...

TennesseeDave,

That looks like an AWESOME pairing! Bookers is hard to beat IMO.

Lately, I've been on a Buffalo Trace kick. For the coin, it beats Jim, Jack and the Wild bird.

what are your thoughts on Blood Oath? have a bottle but have not opened it yet

You will not be disappointed. That is an outstanding bottle of whiskey right there. Doesn't like water a whole lot but it's a beautiful sipper just the way it is.

Weller Reserve and L'Atelier Cote D'Or....what a beautiful pairing.

 

[Gunslinger]

Seems everyone was about that Weller tonight.

Believe it or not I am having a brand new to me bourbon tonight. I have never read many good reviews of it but I was out and do some restocking of some daily drinkers and saw a small "airline" size bottle and picked it up as well. I am sure you will recognize it. Thought I would give it a try. Simple, not at all complex, sweet corn, a touch of vanilla, a bit of nuttiness, clean and of course at 80 proof short finish. I was pleasantly surprised given all the negative I had heard about this. Can you spot it among today's pickup?
