My daily pour or if this is cheaper, what is my new daily pour

[kjbeggs]

So I cracked open the OGD114 I bought on Monday. Wow, I can't believe I waited so long to try this. It's got a great spiciness, and easily drinkable neat. Also mixes well with some Ginger Ale.

Seeing as how my beloved ETL still hasn't been restocked, OGD114 is definitely going to be on my "Always on Hand" list. (Well, at least until it becomes hard to find as well).

That's one that I forgot to put on my "daily" pour list. And another one that I bought a case or two of last year...just because I like it so well.

Here in Australia, bourbon is expensive and we have a limited range. My daily pours are usually from the following:

Blanton's special reserve (green label 40% around $45- 50 Australian)

Buffalo Trace (40%, around $50 Australian)

Blanton's original single barrel , yellow label around $60-$65 Australian) funnily enough Elmer T Lee is around$95 Australian

Russell's Reserve 10 year old (45%, around $60Australian).

Think I will have to save up for a holiday in the USA

Is scotch cheaper than bourbon down in OZ?

I thought Aussies drank beer out of big honkin cans.

Don't forget OGD bonded... Ritt if you want to include rye.

Forgive me but would call a blend of OGDBIB & RITTBIB be a RittenDad or an Old Grand Ritt?

Taking into account that a daily pour would have to be something that doesn't require bunkering, is 90-100 proof, and is less than $50 mine would have to be 4RSB & 4RSmb.

+1 cept that I am also bunkering. I turn to WT101 as a go to whenever travelling for work so that's the away daily pour.

One would think Georgia would be a natural market for HH. I can get the full range of HH BIBs in TN or KY but nowhere else I've shopped which is essentially the whole country from California to Maine, Bismark to Key West. I can get 80 proof HH Old Style in Florida but no BIBs.

Returned from FL yesterday. Bought handles of EW BIB at Total Wine in Naples and at Checkers in Homestead even though they cost about $5 more than at McScrooge's. A man's gotta do.....

Better a bottle in hand . . . . . . .

my feelings as well!

This is a tough one. I think I'm with Hugh - SB Blend at current prices suit me just fine, or ETL. If ECBP were readily available, that would probably trump those two though, as I do like the thought of a barrel proofer just so you've got more range. Although, life with OGD114 . . . or Ritt BIB . . . wait, where did Thad put that shotgun?

Yes we sure love our beer Dot worry about cans we just drink long neck bottles (750ml)

I know that the greater the % volume of alcohol the greater the tax is in our country.

I don't really drink scotch so I don't know their prices to well. In most stores there is a much larger range of scotch than bourbon, though wine and beer take up over 3/4 of the space of any liquor store.

Below is a link to the on-line site of one of our biggest stores, you can check the range and prices:

If I'm looking for something a bit lighter, I'll do FRSB or FRSmB 50:50 to 70:30 with FRYL ...

I don't have a daily pour as far as brands go. Maybe I'm too new there's some much fo try before I get to a daily pour. So far I think maybe OWA 107, or SB blend would be my go to.

My "daily" pour varies greatly with my mood, but the one i always come back to that never fails is ER10. I love it. I keep extra around always. If it was cheaper and more readily available i could live with having GTS as a daily pour though.

My daily pour used to be one of what I call The Big Three: AAA 10YO, VOB BIB 6YO, and OWA. Now that two of the three are gone, I have been doing a conscientious search for replacements. So far, I have only purchased four handles of EW BIB but I think it is making a strong case for itself. Further review is required.

[chrisg]

My go to would have to be HH6 BIB. I can drink it neat or use it in cocktails. OGD 114 for sure.

I second that! I find myself with a pour of that almost nightly! Love the balance of sweetness and subtle rye notes.

If I may jump in, being well acquainted with both, 1783 is rounder and a bit more complex, the BIB has more of an edge and with it's higher proof more straight forward yet simpler flavor. 1783 is a running back, BIB a lineman.

Yep. I think you nailed it. With the last handle of EW BIB, I also bought a handle of 1783 because sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't.
