Blanton's and Wild Turkey Rare Breed...

Heatmiser · 10-16-2008, 01:15 AM

I like almost all liquors but deep down I am truly a bourbon whore. My favorites are:

Old Rip Van Winkle 15
Van Winkle Lot B 12
Old Fitzgerald BIB (1970's)
George T Stagg
Old Taylor BIB (1970's)
William Larue Weller
Wild Turkey Tribute 15

Woodford Reserve
Eagle Rare 17
George T Stagg

Can't get buffaol trace or eagle rare 17 in NJ which sucks. Do you know if they are going to restrict this release as well?

BengalMan · 10-16-2008, 11:05 PM

Most likely yes.

There is also a VERY RARE Fire and Ice collection being released this year by Buffalo Trace which if anyone is able to get their hands on, I will gladly make it well worth your while.

My daily pour is Elijah Craig 12yo but I did buy a bottle of Bulleit this week since it was on sale. With the state run liquor store nonsense here there aren't too many choices.

BengalMan · 10-17-2008, 11:12 PM

Well, I once again fell into the "rare bourbon hole". I went to the liquor store with the wife to get a bottle of vodka for her (she ended up wanting the Donald Trump vodka because "it has a pretty gold bottle"). Walking up to check out I passed through the bourbon section and saw they had a few bottles of Four Roses Mariage left. Needless to say I picked some up to hang out with my Four Roses 120th in the cabinet. I'll let you all know how it is in a few days.

Bourbon has ALWAYS been me drink of choise,
I just stick with good ol' Evan Williams,

Call me a lush, but I always enjoy Knob Creek. It packs a little heat at 100 proof, but it just has that special twang that always brings me back. Other favorites of mine are Bakers, Woodford Reserve, and Eagle Rare.

(And you have not had Rye until you have had Templeton...definitely recommended.)

BengalMan · 10-24-2008, 11:37 AM

The Eagle has landed today! I just picked up all 5 bottles of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection!!

10-24-2008, 11:40 AM

Woodford Reserve is my choice however not even close to knowing who's who in the Bourbon world as i like single malts.

It's on the shelves now in Kentucky. You'll see it everywhere within the next 2 weeks.

Haven't broken into them yet. I still have bottles of Stagg and Weller from last year left. I think I'll break into the Thomas Handy Rye this weekend though. I'll let you know how it is.

I had two bottles of the '07 that were fantastic. I'm down to half a bottle now
