Whhhoooo boy this stuff is good. One of my many problems seems to be I like more expensive bourbons. I get some great recommendations seeing what you more experienced bourbon drinkers enjoy. Saves me time

This one?

I wasn't going to but a friend ended up talking me into it, they sold through 200 bottles at the distillery last weekend then about 1700 on the online presale yesterday, should be about 1000 left for the general sale tomorrow. Wish I knew you wanted it I would have passed along the presale info, it took most of the day to sell out and while the general will probably end up selling out, I bet it will be attainable if you're online whenever they go live

I got into some Russell's Reserve SB last night. I really enjoy it. I'm going to have to grab another bottle or three next time I see it on the shelves.

That’s the one Ben. I forgot you tried it. I’m not going to try and snag one. Got enough to drink for now.

I really wasn't going to, because I need more bourbon like a hole in my head, but then a local friend asked if I could get him one and I figured if I order one for myself that's basically half off shipping. Who could pass up a deal like that?

Not surprised, with the number available and the hype it got on YouTube.

I like the OF1920. Tried it twice at a Bourbon pub at Northstar. Very enjoyable. But at the pub it’s dang near Macallan 12 Sherry cost and for me, Macallan is just better.

Nice idea on a SWAG for the assistant manager. Networking always works hah.
