Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Thanks Kyle. I've seen Rabbit Hole at some of the Binny's stores, but was hoping to find it in a bar (no time soon I guess ) and try before buying.
Last night's pours. When your first pour is at 100 proof, there's no where to got but up. Way up!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
You inspired me to have a pour of EH Taylor Small Batch last night. That stuff never disappoints, I was listening to a local podcast doing a review of a few different Taylors and one guy mentioned that a distributor said they are always out of stock because "if you can get it, why would you need anything else?"
Makes sense

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I'd buy a single barrel in a second. Really want to try the 18 year that's coming out this year, but I think we both know how likely that will be

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Me too, even though I know the barrels can vary widely. I hadn't even heard about the 18 year, but figure it will be like finding a virgin at Planned Parenthood.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
The release name is "18 Year Marriage." I heard it being described by as hard to find as two 18 year olds getting married and staying together for 18 years

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Four Roses Small Batch and Single Barrel are both quite good and can be had for in the mid-$30 range.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Had a pour of EH Taylor SB back to back with Eagle Rare the other night, really helped highlight the differences. Both were great but I think if I had to pick one it'd be the Taylor. At some point I'd like to review my open bottles before they turn into empty bottles, but I suck at reviewing
So many good options, other than the ones that Tom said I'd look into Evan Williams Bottled in Bond (<$20 and delicious), Makers 46, Buffalo Trace, or if you can find it any Weller expressions (the green label, "Special Reserve" or "SR" is fantastic and $20 for a 750 msrp). You're already onto Elijah Craig, if you like that try to find a bottle of their barrel proof releases, they come out 3 times a year but are all great, although that may get you up closer to the $60 range (and may be higher ABV than you're looking for). If you're feeling rye, give Old Forester Rye or Rittenhouse a try, they're both great and under $30.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Last night had a pour of Dickel BiB and one of Kentucky Spirit. Both tasty, very different but I think I liked the Dickel a little more

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
One of my favorites is Woodford Reserve. I think it runs $35-40.
