    Went to a local place and a lot of the stuff was averaging $10 more here as opposed to the online source. That's including stuff like Maker's Mark and Knob Creek. The one thing that was cheaper here was Eagle Rare by $5 but they were out. Going to check again next week but went with a 1L bottle of the Weller Special Reserve for now. That's one that isn't at the online place and they only have the Antique so figured I'd grab one of these and it was only a few bucks more for the 1L bottle than the 750ml. It was right around $25 so figured I'd give it a shot.

    Good choice! I have a bottle of that as well and enjoy it often.

    Same here I am about two pours from being out and its out of stock along the front range currently. No one carries the W.L. Weller 12 year (unicorn here in CO dammit??) or the Old Weller Antique 107. Luckily you can at least find the regular line Pribate Reserve which is still very good.

    Going to check out a place here in town tomorrow and see what they have and what it's all going for. Found a place online that has a great selection too but the Shipping gets you there. Been doing tons of research and watching reviews though and found some different ones that sound interesting. I have Makers Mark and the Weller on the list and also am interested in Russel's Reserve, Larceny, Buffalo Trace and their Eagle Rare, the Glenfiddich 15 and I know it's not Bourbon or Whiskey but want to try some Port too.
    Nope. its not whiskey either, its whisky, ;o),, If one more guy brings up Glenfiddich 15 ,,lol

    Damn, that worked out awesome for that purpose. Got a nice collection going too. Was actually looking at the 1792 and heard some good things about it. The Stagg Jr sounds really good too.

    So I just opened a new bottle of Elijah Craig 12... man is that some good bourbon. It's been a while since I've had the 12 since I've been sticking to the barrel proof. If there is anyone looking for a really good introductory bourbon to drink neat, I can't recommend this enough. So damn smooth!

    Thanks Jimmy, I was glad with how well it worked out too! The 1792 drinks like a $30-40/bottle but costs about $20-25 if you can find a store that isn't gouging. I love it and a great drink neat or mixed, but I do especially enjoy it neat. As for the Stagg Jr. it can be hard to locate, but a store local to me has some currently on sale for 39.99 so let me know if you want me to grab it and ship for you.

    No problem and yeah I would definitely recommend it. Checked out some reviews on YouTube and they got more along the lines of Ginger, Apple and Graham Crackers along with the normal Corn and Oak. Like I said I'm still finding my way so I'll have to see what I get the more I try it but I definitely liked it a lot and it is definitely very smooth.

    Nice, and honestly at the end of the day all that really matters is that you like it. Even if everyone else says its a total dogs egg, who cares as long as you like it ;)
