If I had a benjamin...

[bourbonfoot]

I hadn't seen this posted and thought it was a fun read. The guys at ModernThirst (I believe he still posts here?) posed this question on their site to a few writers. I thought it a fun read and worth a share for anybody who hasn't seen it yet.

What say you?

4RSmB ($27)

OWA ($25)

EC12 ($25)

OGD114 ($18)

$5 for bitters!

[Flyfish]

I think I would be tempted to just get 3 ETLs and call it a day. And a really good night.

[ccleve23]

I would go with (provided they were available on the shelf):

FC103 (13)

OWA (20)

Rittenhouse Rye (22)

ECBP (45)

[emr454]

I'd have to go for 2 EC12's ($50), a liter of BT($30), and a liter of OGDBIB($20)

[BonVivant84]

FRSB Store Select ($50)

EC12 ($25)

Rittenhouse Rye ($25)

[ramblinman]

SAOS BP Rye - ~42

OGD 114 - 28

Family size EWBiB - 22

Bitters - rest

[dboland]

I would probably go with:

FRSB - 37

BT or EC12 - 23 (Maybe OWA once I get a chance to try it)

KCSB - 40

But with all of the OGD114 recommendations, I should probably give it a shot already.

I resisted for a long time because my college roommate would drink it and had classified it as a "college" whiskey until I started frequenting these parts. You'll won't regret it!

Four Roses Single Barrel

Hmmm, not really knowing the current prices (I rarely pay much attention.. too rich, I guess), I'll have to approximate.

Henry McK 10-yr SB--$33

EC 12--$28

KC 120--$40

I think I went over by a buck... sue me!

[Paddy]

If I knew this would have to hold me over for a while, I'd go for the most bang for the buck!

HH6 BIB x 3, VOB6 BIB x 3, OGD BIB x 3.

Cruising this forum on my phone using tapatalk ... It's going to take a while for me to recognize all of the acronyms. I did see a list posted when I was reading from my laptop, so I no one does exist.

Please bear with me...

FRSB - $35

Woodford Reserve - $28

Angel's Envy - $38

[fozzy71]

EC12

OGDBIB or 114

BT

W12 if I could find it at MSRP (never seen it in the wild but had a guy on another forum offer me one for $50 lol) but since I can't find it I would say OWA

[Madhatter]

I would much rather drink less volume and higher quality. Hence for $100:

Four Roses Single Barrel 100 pr $42

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof $50

Edited April 30, 2015 by Madhatter

[MDBourbon]

SA OSR Single Barrel. Had a pour this week, it was so good I would gladly pay that for a single bottle.

[portwood]

I'll go with Jason's choices at Sour Mash Manifesto:

http://sourmashmanifesto.com/

FRSB

RITT BIB

WLW12

[signde]

Four Roses Single Barrel $35

Very Old Barton Bottled in Bond $13

Old Weller Antique $26

Rittenhouse Rye $26

[Golzee]

Jim Beam Black 8yr (21)

Buffalo Trace (22)

WT101 (22)

Big House (20)

Evan Williams 1783 (15)

Hopefully I win a hundo on the derby so I can make this happen.

[fozzy71]

Big House (20)

......

I have seen this on the shelf a few times but hadn't tried it yet since I hadn't seen it mentioned here. It looks like they are up front about being a NDP bourbon and the review I just read was positive so I might have to give it a shot one of these days.

[GaryT]

I need variety in my life, so:

Ritt BIB - $19 (gotta have some rye, best one for the money IMHO)

FRSB - $30 (sale price I've bought at in the past year, because I have to have SOME Four Roses!)

AAA 10* Handle - $25 (price to quality to volume is insane here)

Shieldaig Highland Single Malt - $18 (bringing some peat into the picture)

Maker's Mark 50mL - $4 (can't go wheater free; and I can't get OWA in a small enough size locally!)

WTRB 50mL - $4 (At least a little high proof Turkey completes the picture)

[Harry in WashDC]

Tried to shoehorn in Ritt but couldn't. Also, didn't think about loading up on 50mls. Boy does THAT open up possibilities.

[JvW]

Weller Antique 107 ($25)

Bakers ($40)

Knob Creek SB ($35)

And enjoy it...

[moebimoebi]

OWA ($24)

EC12 ($25)

Bulleit Rye ($24)

BT ($26)
