Welcome! Where in the Central Coast are you?

I'll tell you how much it's definitely not worth...$3,000, but hey, good luck with that.

Welcome, always happy to see another Southern Californian.

What Disneyland needs is a good whiskey bar! Seriously though, thanks for your kind words.

Welcome! Always good to see another Angeleno on the forums.

Other than the old Weller Centennials and the Old Fitz from BHC which are long out of production but occasionally still pop up, I don't know that I've ever seen a Weller or Fitz mini.

Have you...

Here's a list I just posted on my blog that I use for novice tastings when I'm asked for recommendations. I'd certainly be interested in feedback.

The idea of this list is that if you are a...

Welcome! Always happy to see another California Bourbon lover. Sounds like you are well on your way.

It should be fine. Spirits are very hearty, and with limited oxygen in the bottle, it could probably sit on the shelf for years without much in the way of deterioration.

Welcome! We're lucky to have a great store in Hollywood, K&L on Vine south of Sunset.

You'll find lots of recommendations on this site, and you'll find lots of good stuff at K&L. If you...

Oh good, I thought you were going to say you had to hold your pinky out or something. :grin:

Welcome to the forum. I'm a big rye fan as well.

Welcome! I'm a Sonoma County native living in LA. You're starting out on a fun path. Enjoy it, use the forums as a resource and keep letting us know what you like.

Welcome! Always good to see another southern Californian. Hope the desert isn't too dry for you, Bourbon-wise that is.

I hear about this from the distribution rep. Anyone taste it or have any thoughts on it?

Welcome. Where in NorCal are you? Any favorite Bourbons?

Welcome. We have a few west coasters here. Where are you?

In answer to your last two questions. Yes, I believe Dickel 8 and 12 are the same mashbills at different ages.

However, Crown Royal and Segram's 7 are different. Crown Royal is a blended...

Tennessee Whiskey is not a legally defined term in the regs, but Jack Daniel's got a letter from the Treasurey Department in 1941 recognizing it as a distinct genre of American whiskey or something...

Is 4th Ave and S a store? What's it called?

Chuck, I've often heard that JD got the DOT or some agency to issue a letter or opinion recognizing Tennessee Whiskey as a distinct classification, yet I've never seen the text of such a letter. Can...

I'll join the chorus of Sotnsipper, Funknik and Illfarmboy. I love Dickel No. 12 for its more Bourbon like qualities (it also makes the best Manhattan around).

I can't say I like any of the...

I agree, OGD 114 is about the only Beam drink I like. Booker's is drinkable but overpriced for what it is.

As to Ratcheer's point about Beam Global, it's true, they have some great holdings such...

Welcome! I spend a few weeks every summer on Oahu. Where do you buy your whiskey? I've seen a pretty decent selection at Tamura's on Waialae.

Great game. (I added some ryes).

Beam Clermont/Boston -- Old Grand-Dad 114
Beam Maker's Mark -- Ah, isn't MM the only thing they make?
BF Shively -- I'd go with the OF Birthday Bourbon as...

Welcome!! I'm always happy to see other Southern Californians on the board. You've come to the right places. Between here, the Malt Advocate site and Hi-Time, you're well on your way.
