Just don't know the difference between them all. Need a starting point and want to avoid anything nasty out there. Thanks!

Woodford is always a good starting point. Great bang for the buck and a good starter bourbon. Maker's is also handy to have around, especially since its so versatile and can be used in a number of mixed drinks.

I've been on a Rye kick this winter. WhistlePig might be my new favorite adult beverage!

I have my name on a barrel of Maker's. Anxiously waiting for it to be ready one of these years so I can buy a bottle from my own barrel.

I have been drinking Rye this winter as well, tried both Jefferson and Bulleit so far.

Finally found these on a trip to Atlanta (airport) today. Will have to wait for tasting until I finish the Larceny I'm currently working on.

And here's a pic of my recently completed cabinet. Big thanks to my buddy Kyle who helped with the construction. Remote control lights, even!

Just picked up a bottle of this:

Awesome stuff. Nice flavor and very affordable. It's made by Wild Turkey so if your local shop doesn't have it you can probably order it easily.

It's been quiet in here. Anyone pick up a bottle of the Four Roses 2014 LE? Struck out here.

Did pick some rocket fuel yesterday

I picked these up last week traveling thru Knoxville. Got to do a taste test on each beforehand, and decided they both required purchase! The 9 year old is exceptionally smooth, but not as flavorful as the 11 year old one. The older one was not as smooth, but was bursting with flavor!

Think there is a place by my work that may still has a bottle ($60) if you're interested.


Picked these up last week. Probably done buying until the fall/winter

And the nice thing about McScrooge's: Once done there, I can jump on the side road, and 3-5 minutes later, i can be at the Smoky Mtn Brewery in Turkey Creek! And when my wife is with me (as she was this trip), I can have the full beer sampler with my meal, and she can drive us back to Bama! Good booze and good beer, both in close proximity!
