What Bourbon Should I Purchase Today? - Spring/Summer 2012

[Kalessin]

I bought this WT today and there are about 6 more at this shop. Should I get the others for $25 each? I think it's from 1984. I'm not a WT fan but maybe I could trade them.
What do you think?

There are a few other dusties too but they are behind plexi and the guy isn't about to let me in.

I'm actually looking for a bottle or two, for sentimental reasons (and the bourbon is drinkable too), but LA is kinda far away...

PHC 27 is what I would do.

The 27 it is! Going to wait for the weekend to crack it.

Should I buy the 2009, 2010, or 2011 Sazerac 18 for $99?

Or are any of them worth it? I've read a lot lately on how the flavor tapers off rapidly.

$99 is a bit high so I would go with the oldest...2009

I would say yes. I haven't had the '09, but the '10 and '11 are gorgeous. I might give the 2011 the edge.

They do tend to taper off rather quickly, but we're talking months, not weeks. Drink it over 6 weeks or so, and it should sing the entire time.

I wrote a review of the 2011 if you're interested - you can find it through my blog link below.

Bernheim Wheat for $27.99, Dickel Barrel Select for $32.99, Rowan's Creek for $38.99 or Rock Hill Farms for $39.99?

I'd go with RHF, though I've never had it (just about the only BT bourbon I have yet to taste).

I'd also go with RHF because it's the only one if those I like at all, and that is about $7-8 cheaper than it is locally.
