OT any bourbon or whiskey drinkers?

Knob Creek 9 is a great choice.

If you like Buffalo Trace products - I'm a fan, especially Eagle Rare - look at Benchmark Bottle and Bond for more value price versions. Benchmark is the same Buffalo Trace mash bill, but with less aging and different proofs. Look at Benchmark full proof if you like higher proof stuff.

Benchmark full proof is good stuff for the price. Thanks for the recommendation. It's not very complex but smooth for 125 proof.

125? Good grief, that's rocket fuel!

Benchmarks entire line is a great value. Top Floor at 15 bucks is a great sip

I refuse to buy anything there. Everything is so marked up its ridiculous. Ive managed to get two different bottles of stagg in the past year locally for 80 each.

Nice score, where did that happen? Like I said very marked up, but best retail price I’ve seen available.

Got one at liqour world in east syr. Have to joint their points system but its pretty straight forward and reasonable. Scored a willet family estate 14 and a russells 13 for 750 combinded there too. Every dollar you spend is a point. Use points to access allocated bottles. I think the willet was like 300 pts and russels was 200. The other stagg i got walked into store in auburn and it was sitting on counter

There was a draftsman from Paris in my office who used to say about bourbon, "It is good for cleaning ze bugs from ze windscreen."
