Thanks for the help everyone. Picked up the whiskies yesterday. This is what I ended up going with. Ridiculously excited!

There is a link to post a pic above the reply box. Should be pretty clear from there. That said, I have been having trouble getting it to work recently. Had to post a picture today to a website and then link to the URL to get it to work.

Here's the pic. Came out strangely small, but at least it seems to be showing up. Can you all see it?

Good choices! I was going to suggest dropping the Jeff Ocean and Stagg JR from the list,narrowing the Willets down to one, and buying everything else if possible.

You came pretty close to that though.

Yeah, I still kind of wish I got a Willet too. But I didn't want to appear greedy. He was doing me a favor and I bought quite a lot as it was. Anyway, I'm sure I can grab a Willet in the future.

You did fine! You got some great bourbons! You also did the right thing. It is never good to take advantage of a friendship. Enjoy what you bought!

Price is a huge factor in these issues.

What is your palate like? What are your regular pours?

That's a pretty diverse list to my simple mind.

I want to try the Handy Rye.

Unless you like Beam and Cask Strength, forego the Bookers.

FR SB is generally pretty available in not Limited editions, so you will be pretty safe in leaving that on the shelf.

EC 21 is very woody I hear, but I have not had any. I generally enjoy Heaven Hill so I'm clearly biased towards some of these.

Jeffersons has no importance to me yet, until someone shows my taste buds otherwise.

I have yet to try any Willet.

Several of these entries would be interesting to pour.
