Stopped by the grocery store for some provolone cheese for tonight’s roast beef dip sammiches and saw the last bottle of Eagle Rare on sale for $40. I fent.
ER at $40 in this area is starting to get close to pre WuFlu pricing. Finally! |

Guess HH is everywhere now. Had to grab one. Not a rye fan so didn't grab a knob creek.

 Attached FileThings I've learned from blind taste tests: There are some bourbons I do not like. Some bottom shelf bourbons will surprise you. Acquisition cost, though a factor, has little to do with enjoyment of bourbon. Don’t turn your nose up at twist off capped bottles. My favorite bourbons are more expensive, but they are not the ones I thought they were. After a 2-3 samples, it's increasingly difficult to pick a winner, so start with that high $ whiskey you like, but switch to something easier to obtain after the first couple of pours. In summary, to steal a phrase: Bourbon is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. |

Last night, I asked the guy at a local shop if he ever gets Buffalo Trace and he said it's rare. He also said the Weller Special Reserve, which I picked up a week or so ago, at a different store, is basically the same Bourbon*. True or no? I hope not, because I wasn't all that impressed with the Weller, at least as a sipper. Maybe it's better in an Old Fashioned.
*ETA: Fixed my misleading wording in this post. |

Just snagged another Blantons from our secret outta the way ABC here in VA
 . 75 bucks. I'm not that big a fan, but my wife sure loves it.However no Eagle Rare, but that's okay. It was still a good day.  ETA we actually got two big Blantons - it's limited to one person per day. I bought one with my CC, and my wife bought one with her CC. Again, she LOVES it, so it's mostly for her, and God willing, she's planning for some celebration in the not too distant future. |

The Weller full proof .750 should have been $60 but looking at the receipt I just noticed they only charged my wife $40 for the 1792 and did not ring up the full proof. She won the spot in the lottery line because I entered her name and she knows nothing about bourbon or the price it should have been. Oh well. It's her info on file so the popo will take her, not me. You could sell that Weller 12 for over $300, people go crazy over it. I've had it and it's good but I don't get the hype over Weller |

Without turning this into a poo slinging argument…
Have any of yall noticed a distinct change in your go to bottles lately? For example: I usually have a bottle of plain ole Elijah and OGD 114 sitting around. My last bottle of EC is undrinkable. The last 2 OGDs were very very bad. I’ve also had a bad bottle of Buffalo Trace in the past 6ish weeks. I’ve been a bourbon addict for the last decade. I’ve never noticed this much difference in mid shelf bottles, much less across different companies and in a short period of time. |
