A whole bottle of Elijah Craig last night.....ouch


Been there and that does suck the next day but what I remembered of that night was ok lol.

No bourbon cause I was at a Family BBQ that doesn't drink hard alcohol too often but my Aunt from out of town was there and when we got to talking about alcohol she said she wished she had some bourbon. Made me wish I had brought some over to enjoy a glass with her.

I swear this makes no since.....You find a bottle in frigging Hawaii,Z can get it in Oregon,I just returned from a Kentucky trip.Not sure how many liquor stores I went into.....probably 20 at least.I asked for Sazerac in everyone......2 maybe 3 took me to an empty shelf.....The rest just laughed,one ask if I'd like a bottle of Pappy to go along with it.

The only thing I grabbed that is HTF is a bottle of Bulliet Barrel Proof(mine is 119 proof,some out there to 125).......my research says if you find it it'll be in Kentucky and no where else.55 bones.....better be good,I do love the 10 yo.

Oh I also snagged a bottle of Climax Moonshine.....simply because I like Tim Smith and his distribution network hasn't made it to Texas yet.



Agree with this, Z can get it any time and I have seen 1 bottle in over a year here. I hate the way Buffalo Trace is playing this htf game, feels all too much like Drew Estates and their Unico line pre Swisher

Shaun,
I will be the first to admit that I am far from being a Kentucky bourbon expert but I will share what I was told recently. My two son’s and I did part of the Bourbon Trail during the end of Mar. We did 5 tours and visited 3 other distilleries. All indicated including Buffalo Trace that the bourbon industry has grown approximately 40 percent in the past 8 years. Most of that increase can be blamed on the increase in foreign demand. So realistically, 15 plus years ago they did not have a clue on what the present day demand would be and now they all are playing catch up. I’m not saying that they would not take advantage of a situation to increase their profit but it does seem that in some cases demand has exceeded product availability. I think it was at the Jim Beam distillery we were told that presently in Kentucky there are more total barrels of bourbon being warehoused than there are people and horses combined in the entire state. That my friend is a butt load of bourbon.

I'm done with expensive bourbon. I was in to it when it was unpopular. Heaven Hill has a bit of the old Bourbon flavor and it's nearly at the old bourbon price. It's all a fad, Scotch, Vodka and now Bourbon - what's the next craze ?

Woodford Reserve. It's become a staple in our house. Wife loves it, I like it, and it's not terribly expensive. 1L bottle for $38.

That my friend is a butt load of bourbon.



I would buy into that theory and it could be the case for some of the bourbons that are aged over 10 years or more. The only problem I see with it is that Elmer T. Lee dies and there becomes a shortage of it all over the place. I believe I read that the rumor is ETL is aged 7 or 8 years, which means that there are 7 or 8 years of barrels aging still that he had a hand in. Coincidence that he passes and it is hard to find and the price goes up or taking advantage of a situation? Sazerac and there is another one out of Buffalo Trace that I can't think of right now that is also htf also from Buffalo Trace. How come I can walk into just about any liquor store in America and find Basil, Bookers, Bakers, Four Roses Small Batch and Barrel Aged. Why aren't any of those distilleries having shortages as well? It just feels like they are pumping up the popularity by making their product harder to get and increasing the price along the way.

It's a toss up between that and the Caribbean Cask for my favorite scotch. I'm a little jealous right now.

To be honest it was not at the top of my list in the past. Good but not at the top. My recent re-introduction to Kentucky bourbon after a 33 year absence has caused a change in my taste preferences.

As far as the Balvenie 21 presently, I'm liking it a lot.

I like the 21 over the Caribbean Cask but that could change by next week.

IMO the 46 was too oaky for a wheated bourbon and somewhat thin in the bourbon flavors I expect.Keep in mind for a wheated bourbon Makers would be near the bottom of my list,I consider it little more than a name brand mixer.................

Pappy being the bar,Weller 12 the bar for what used to be obtainable and Larceny because it's good and can be had almost anywhere at a reasonable price.All heads and tails above Makers
