All Activity

Regular Buffalo Trace is still allocated in my state. Stores get it somewhat regularly, but they don't put it on the shelf, it's still a backroom item that they'll dole out to known customers, but it's always $35-45 which is crazy to me. I travel to Louisiana for work fairly frequently, so I often buy a case or two to bring back and share at cost to my buddies that always want it. Sometimes I can find a store that will knock a few bucks off if you buy a whole case, but it's not often. So last Thursday I'm in LA, stopped into a store I'd never been in before, and there's rows and rows of BT on the shelf for $24.99. Usually in LA the price is $25.99 or $27.99. Sitting right next to them are three 1.75's of it, but for $99.99. I asked the clerk if anyone actually buys the 1.75's and he said they don't get them very often, only 750's, but when they do get 1.75's they sell out within about 2 days. Somebody make it make sense...

There was . . . . . . .

Definitive pronunciation: "Bob". Easier to say! Spelled the same way forward or backward. Pronounced identically forward or backward. What's not to love, eh? Or . . . Maybe not....

Oh my, that looks sooooo good

I really enjoy what Jack Daniels has to offer. I’m on a cruise to Alaska and came across a different packaging for the Bonded, which I find at $30 is exceptional

It must work since you bought them, too!

Is there a PVW23 in it?

I still can't believe this is a thread.

That picture is making my mouth water. Love MGP rye!

This is the hardest point to get across to people who are buying whiskey gifts for others. Also, new whiskey drinkers. But it must work, because the producers keep doing it.

Excellent, thoughtful, "in depth" 'report, DPPSmoker! Great to see you back! Certainly sounds like a really good time for you with your son. I know how rewarding that can be, and look forward to my next visit with my son to "The Motherland". Next April, God willing. Thanx so much for this entertaining write-up!

Almost loox too pretty to drink!

Not much left in this one, so I dumped it into the 750 I had open. Not much left in it either.

Heehee! Next time!

Hi Joe. We stopped by BBC immediately after our ChickFilA sandwich and fries. My son saw some of the lunch plates at BBC when we were there and he said he wished we dined at BBC. Lesson learned.

Having a Whiskey Sour with KC 7yr Rye at the whiskey bar.

“Better” be more than the whiskey!!

It'll only get better!

What a ClusterF¥{K Monday. A lot to do going in, and a multitude of problems kept me to only getting a fraction of them done. So, called it a day after throwing some shit across my office (luckily didn’t break anything…), poured an Old Forester 86 proof over a big, clear, cube, and now sitting outside to decompress and get some fresh air. Breathe…..

Thanks!. Looking forward to this. I find Baby Saz, and it’s BTAC daddy TH Handy to possess beautiful baking spices notes. The barrel proof Handy carries them forward with much more graceful strength than Baby Saz…as it should. And, while I really like Baby Saz, I have always felt more proof would help it a great deal. Hopefully 100 does the trick! Nice price point, too!

The one I've seen on breaking bourbon looked like the standard bottle with a sticker on the lower section of the bottle.

I have long been a fan of the Baby Saz, and it’s been readily available in my area for a couple years since things began to loosen out of BT. 10 extra proof points I believe will help it, as at times it’s profile can get a little lost for me depending on my palate condition. Is there a different bottle design/label change, as well?

Baby saz has long been one of my regular budget pours. I also try and keep wt 101r, ritt, and of 100r on the shelf. But I've heard and see on breaking bourbon that a new 100 proof version is now being released. If anyone finds or tries it please let me know how it goes.

Here is an exception... the maryland heritage series ryes were some of the best whiskey I have ever tasted. There were a number of "gift sets" that came in this fancy wooden box with an etched glass. The small box is a one off prototype for the sibs, but was not released as the product was already deemed to be costly enough without the additional cost of the boxes.
