Found a couple of bottles I’ve been looking for. I have figured out that I like wheated bourbons so I was glad to find the Makers. The large Weller 12 was just a want as was the Aberlour.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and happy hunting. Cheers!
You’ve been killing it lately! You’re not exactly slumming at your crib. Happy Thanksgiving!I will be at your house this weekend after the turkey.
Great score. Let use know how the Aberlour and the Markers is.

I like it, it's not peaty. Definitely an easy drinker without the taste of road tar.When I got home from work today a friend called and said that he would be in Savannah over the weekend and I knew that he liked Scotch so I ran back to a different package shop. The guy there said that The Balvenie 14 was good and I saw a bottle of Weller SR behind the counter. It had to follow me home. Is that scotch any good?

RR, you were about 1.5 miles from the house. We went to the same store on Saturday.Stopped in the Kannapolis Parkway ABC yesterday and picked up a McKenna 10 and Four Roses SiB. Nothing fancy but two solid bourbons I like to keep around.

A once a year Laphroaig, a barrel pick EC, a barrel pick WR and an Old Fitz 15 bib. Pretty good haul.Cheers!
if you could buy a bourbon in the ~40-80$ range what would you get? I wasn't much of fan of the rye blends.
Thanks
Wise words from a wise man! Great advice...... Cheers!If you liked Buffalo Trace then the next logical step is to grab the same juice aged longer, Eagle Rare, for $34.95 plus tax.
Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch at $39.95 is from the same distiller and is generally highly regarded. But also not always easy to find.
But lots of good choices if those are not available.
Wild Turkey Distillery is often overlooked but has some SPECTACULAR choices in that price range.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed and Russell's Reserve are two good ones.
I REALLY enjoy Old Grand Dad Bonded. It's a favorite of mine and it costs a whooping $23.95.
Just drinking beer, but the Knob Creek is strong here lol

Picked up the early times a couple weeks ago. It’s OK. I didn’t see the Old Grand-Dad, will have to swing by this week and see if they still have some.Picked these up Thursday from my local shop. Still can’t find any McKenna 10 year BiB locally, though.

@mj1angier, a bunch of us are waiting on your invitation over to help you out testing some of those bottles. The heard needs to be thinned.
Are you coming to the RTP area for the holidays? It is all over the place up here. PM me your travel route and I’ll point you to a store that should have it, or I have 1-2 bottles for you if needed.Still can’t find any McKenna 10 year BiB locally, though.
