Value Pour Drinkes?

[BillP]

I do enjoy WT 101 when it's on sale (which is quite often at my store).

I gotta add Benchmark to the list. $9.99 at my store - sorry we can't get Barton or AAA here, and I don't care for EW black

Here's a vote for VOB BIB, but I'd also add JTS Brown BIB to the list. I think I paid around $11 for the last few bottles I purchased. It's pretty tasty for such an inexpensive bottle. Although, I haven't seen any around lately.

Rittenhouse Rye BIB - $19

Old Weller Antique - $19

Weller 12 Year - $18

Buffalo Trace - $17

Old Grand Dad BIB - $17

Old Grand Dad 114 - $19

Old Forester Signature - $19

St. Louis pricing...

What about pours in the next price range up ($30-$45) that you might call a value?

I'd put FRSB in this category.

I'd put FRSB in this category.

I'll second that one.

Evan Williams Black crosses the line from "value" into "waste of time and money."

That finish, which I can't decide is more like Scope or an Altoids mint is just too distracting and takes away from any pleasure I can find in it. Even dousing it Coke just make me think, "Now I now what the remaining soda tastes like after somebody drops a Mentos in it and the soda explodes all over the place."

:slappin:

Regarding the Rittenhouse BIB mentions, for me it USED to be a good value, back when it was about $12/bottle. Now it's about $23... and it doesn't seem like such a value now.

I'll second OGD BIB and the Wellers, and also add Old Fitzgerald BIB. Dickel #12 is another favorite for me.

VOB BIB, now I'm glad I discovered it - but now I'm worried that it'll get too popular and we'll have another Rittenhouse situation on our hands.
