Gotten to where nothing pisses me off more than buying a bottle of $30 plus bourbon and it just isn’t great. I’ve settled in on a few that never let me down.
Blantons
Woodford Double Oaked
1910
And cheaper
Bulleit
Old Grandad 114
Evan Williams Single Barrel
Wild Turkey 101

Somewhat funny story ...now it is at least.
That Evan Willians Single was my favorite for years and you could get it for like $20 here.
My grandparents had a house in the woods that we spent our summers At, and every year at the end of the summer I’d stash away a bottle of that stuff with about 3 fingers left in it. The goal was to save up like 5 - 10 bottles or so over the years, and then have a fun little tasting session with my neighbor (lifetime best friend) and see what year we liked the best.
Well, I got 6 years in, and my older sister goes up one weekend to get a jump on spring cleaning. Memorial Day weekend rolls around and I head out there, one night I go to have a drink and my bottles are all gone except for one of them.
Hey anybody know where my bourbon bottles are at?
::sister:: “oh yeah those things were taking up so much room and they were the same brand so I combined them all into one bottle for you!”
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

John, Elijah Craig is pretty nice as well - give it a shot if you can grab it on sale.
Oh and also the 1792 “Small Batch” is really nice.

EC was my jam for a little while. I really need to try it again…I’ve heard tales of the Elijah Craig “Toasted” But it’s extremely hard to find. I think of 1792 like Bulleit. At $30, those are some good bourbons. |
