Is that what you are looking for?
If bourbon for someone you don't know will like, maybe an upper level Four Roses? Four Roses might fit the bill but thety don't seem to have anything in that $$60-$75 range... I have a buddy who is not amenable to any booze with any amount of bite, but he raves about a bottle of Whistlepig he was gifted. Now I am conflicted. |

Weller 12 tonight, dang that’s nice stuff
Finally got my hands on an EH Taylor yesterday, at retail! I’d say it’s as nice as this 12 I’m having tonight… Noah's mill is one of my favorites but although they are related, I find Noah's and rowans to be very different. Rowans has a lot of meh reviews but I have been really liking it lately, especially at $36. I just got two more bottles. |

Still unbelievably great. Had never heard of MB Roland until I saw Drew Estates is hosting a Barn Smoker event in there in October. The Fire Cured caught my eye as I was looking over their website. I'm going to have to take a Saturday drive up there soon and check it out. |

RR Single Barrel still the #1 bourbon I've tried, so far. |

The small batch is great if the single barrel is not available.
And don't forget the Small Batch Select that Four Roses began offering a couple of years ago. |

Single Barrel > Small Batch? It is for me…but as Dan said, iffin’ you can’t find the Single then maybe the Select and Small, in that order? The fun part is trying different expressions to find the ones you like. 🥃 |
