Due to an unusual Monday off from work, I am going Turkey tonight. I am throughly  enjoying  WT 70th Anniversary. I just love this bottle. It hits every note I want from WT. It is just dang tasty whiskey. I have a few more bunkered, honestly though, I think I need more 🤷‍♂️😁

Next up RRSRH CNF. 

 

Cheers

Quite possibly the best 18year bourbon I’ve sampled to date. Not to mention it’s the most affordable and accessible

I forgot to post this. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I had a very nice pour of RHF Saturday evening to celebrate the Indiana Pacers win. Wishing them good luck in the NBA finals. 🤞 🏀 😎

I have not tried this. Seems it's a very good bourbon. What is the price one would expect for this?

I’m really not sure of the price nowadays. I purchased this bottle years ago. IIRC, I paid somewhere around $45.00 or so. The steps up from BT and ER, IMHO, are ETL, Blanton’s, Hancock’s Presidents Reserve SB, and Rock Hill Farms. Not necessarily in that order.

Fair point. What is remarkable to me is how nearly everything from Buffalo Trace has a secondary market which is off the charts. Even Buffalo Trace is difficult to find is some parts. I have started to see ample supply of EH Taylor (small batch), Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace (always available in nearly every liquor store here). Elmer T Lee is available locally, it's about $150 on the secondary market. I seldom see Rock Hill Farms, but when I do, the secondary market is priced at $300 which just seems crazy but there was a time when Eagle Rare was also going for close to $200, now it's about $80, still about double what MSRP is. Supply and Demand I suppose.

Eagle Rare...

Why? Because, the IRS said there was a $277 mistake on my return, "In My Favor".

Me getting $$$ from the IRS; now that's a Rare Eagle...

That's gotta be a first. I'd buy a lottery ticket. Or 277 of them.🤑

Rock Hill Farms is my White Buffalo, err Whale. Only seen it a few times in the wild and it was over-priced at 100-150$. But I do like it. More so than the Hancock, ETL and Blanton's. AND THAT COULD BE because you can't have what you can't get.

Some RHF this evening.  We are still looking for houses.  Our original house choice ended up in a bidding war by two other couples, we had to walk away.

The search continues.

Things happen for a reason.  You'll find the perfect house and will be hoisting a toast from the back porch in celebration!

Sorry to hear about the most recent house hunting exercise. Bidding wars are great for the seller, not so much for the buyer. Our market here has shifted to a buyer's market with inventory sitting, and new construction flooding the market with incentives. 

 

That aside, still a good evening. My evening was spent with my first pour (Weller CYPB), followed by my second pour (Old Fitzgerald 10 year). Best part was spending time with my 10-year-old son at our pool and watching the Dodgers.

Awesome post. Almost as nice as getting money back from the government is that we're starting to see Eagle Rare in my locale. It is no longer a rare eagle sighting.
