What do we do with our "Everyday Pours"? (Edited)

I haven't noticed any significant change in prices, but then I don't buy scotch.

I have been trying less expensive bourbons recently. But, last weekend, I cracked open a bottle of EWSB and was in awe, again, about how good it tasted.

The point is that the less expensive pours, besides saving money, make the good stuff seem so much better when you get back to them.

P.S. While my post you quoted did mention AAA 10 yo, I later replyed to my own post to say that I had been hoodwinked by small type. I actually had bought the 10 star.

I am also one of those that don't ration well. When the good stuff gets opened, it goes fast.

Right now I am still holding onto an unopened bottle of Wathens, Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel, and Buffalo Trace. All of these were bought out of state (I can't get them here). But, as soon as I open one, they will disappear like magic!

When I was buying two or three extra bottles of less expensive bourbon, my wife had a puzzled look on her face and said "I thought you were trying to save money on bourbon!?"

Silly woman, she thought that when I said I would save money on bourbon, it meant I would stop drinking it!

Yes, I'm having the same problem with my wife. I guess I have about 15 bottles now and every time I bring home another one, she rolls her eyes and makes some comment. So, I am actively trying to empty some of my low partial bottles, just so there won't be so many bottles. Might help, might not.

I finished off a bottle of Russell's Reserve, Saturday and I'm going to work on the Woodford Reserve, next. (I have full bottles of each as backups.)
