Could you post a photo or two of the label(s) in question?

Welcome aboard, Santa Cruzer! Great city, beautiful area, bet you can enjoy some Weller on the beach while watching the sunset. Since you're in northern California and you mentioned Saz 18, you might...

I hope to try all those on your list one day. Of the ones I've tried:

1. Wild Turkey Rare Breed
2. Four Roses Bourbon
3. Buffalo Trace
4. Elijah Craig 12

5. Bulleit and Knob Creek (the only...

I find this thread extremely interesting and useful. I have to admit I don't like the 'medicinal flavor' that travis refers to...I currently happen to be experimenting with Buffalo Trace and JB...

Welcome aboard! I'm new to this board too, I agree with the idea that you need to decide for yourself what you you like and don't like. The best thing to do, in my humble opinion, is to go out and...

I came to this site about a month ago and have to say people are extremely friendly and helpful. Any initial feelings of 'intimidation' I felt were quickly forgotten. Hopefully you'll feel the same....

The site says $56.00 which sounds like a bargain. Cheapest I've seen it here is around 9,000 yen...over 100 USD.

Like that way of thinking.

Interesting! I agree the packaging is lovely. Have to admit I was intrigued when I first saw it! I don't know if it's worth it. Somehow I think my money is better spent on other stuff.

I was in the same situation about a year ago...disappointed with the bourbons I'd tasted, somehow wanting to keep exploring.

I agree with the Blanton's recommendation earlier.

I can't recommend...

Welcome aboard Nick. I'm also from WNY. Grew up rooting for Joe Cribbs, Jerry Butler, Fred Smerlas and all those guys.

I'm just as much a novice as you, but from your list I've had good luck with...

Thanks everyone! I had posted on another thread that I was ok. Didn't mean to ignore your messages. Really appreciate the concern from the bourbon community.

My family and I were rocked just like...

I'm just a novice, or an "advanced beginner" at best. The first bourbon I had was I.W. Harper and I thought it was awful, more or less. Just based on that experience I was determined to find a...

Thanks for that excellent tip! I'll try to check it out when I get a chance.

Very true. Which is why I'm not willing to shell out all that extra dough for the Seijo Ishi Booker's. At least not at my current pathetic salary.

Also in Japan I've seen standard (not "gold" or...

Thanks for everyone for your warm and humorous words of welcome. I'm a US citizen who only recently came to appreciate the national treasure of bourbon. Better late than never, eh?

As for...

Nice to hear all that information about Centennial. I do agree I should probably stock up on a few bottles. It isn't easy to find, but I know one or two places here in Tokyo that carry it.

So I...

Howdy-- I live in Tokyo Japan...pretty new to whiskey drinkin', but this might, just might, be the best city in the world to sample whisk(e)y in all its varieties. The liquor stores here tend to have...

I'd definitely do it. You're getting some great selections. I personally like sampling whiskey at home more than in a bar.

With those "top shelf" expensive bottlings, there's a big risk that you...
