Squire described it so well, I don't think I can improve on his words.

I like the 114 a lot, but only a few of the larger/older stores around Eastern MA carry it. Among high-proof ryed bourbons,...

Welcome to Straightbourbon, Tim! Always glad to see another Boston-area bourbon fan! And your bar... that is a thing of beauty!

Welcome to Straightbourbon! Always glad to see another Massachusetts person here!

I think it may be location-dependent. I haven't seen any of the 17 in Eastern MA since around the end of summertime (at least not at the ten or so stores that I visit).

Hello Jake! Welcome!

Are you in far western MA like Berkshire County, or a little closer to Boston?

Though I live in the eastern part of the state, I have relatives in Worcester (close to the...

Specific to Boston searching -- sadly, it's really quite tough to find Van Winkle products. There aren't many to go around in Massachusetts, and the brand name is now so well known that they sell...

I found it not bad at all for...

The operation was a success! The patient is now resting quietly in my cabinet bar with only a small loss of fluid. Full writeup to follow. :)

Hello and welcome! (from another new guy..)

Great way to spread the love! Are all bourbons scarce in Mexico, or maybe only the nicer bottles?

Today's project: find a very fine food-grade mesh screen (this may take a trip to Chinatown, where the restaurant supply places have all kinds of cool things).

Hello!

What a fantastic forum! I've been reading threads all over, and this looks like a great place to spend some time. For years I was a single-malt scotch drinker (and still am), but like...
