Never liked bulleit. I do like makers woodfard 4 roses wathens (recommend the wathens if you’ve not tried it) Did not like angels envy.
Also looking to try a rye whiskey. Again under 60$. Explain to me what rye whiskey is like????? More like bold bourbon? More like a crown royal? More like Irish whiskey??????
I like all those things but I like bourbon a lot more than those
Help me out fellas If you want real value try Old Forrester Signature 100 proof and Wild Turkey 101........handles at $45 and 40 respectively,750's at $24 and 21. Both drink way above their paygrade, take that from a guy who's been drinking bourbon for a long time.Been sipping on some New Riff at$39 the Single Barrel at $49........both well worth the coin. As for ryes Wild Turkey and Old Forrester strike again.............bought $20 each.If you like a more traditional rye Sazerac is your friend,$24 iirc. |

Thanks fellas. I’ve wanted to try the old forester. I’ll see if I can find the 100. I’ve had wild Turkey 101 but I was like 18 and just drinking it because it was free. I don’t really remember what it even tasted like. I didn’t like bourbon at that time
I’ve got another few drinks in my bottle of 4 roses single. I’ll pick one of these mentioned up on my next trip. |

For Rye I usually always have WhistlePig Piggyback 6yr and Mitchers Single Barrel on hand. Both can be had right around $50 here in overtaxed Jersey. |

Old forester bottled in bond I’m no expert but I liked it well enough I’d recommend it. Couldn’t find the regular 100 but I will at some point
Fits of any of the old forester I’ve tried. I’ve been reading along to pick up recommendations |

Help me out fellas Since you've had and been recommended to Old Forester, you might put the 1910 on your list to try. It's priced around $53/L where I buy. The flavor and character are miles ahead of the alcohol bite. |

Fits of any of the old forester I’ve tried. I’ve been reading along to pick up recommendations Saw the BiB at the exchange and didn't pull the trigger... now I wish I had. I can get Russell's Reserve Single Barrel for $53 at the exchange and it is 100% worth every penny. Total Wine sells it for $72. |

I’ll keep an eye out for the russels reserve. I like the bottled in bond. I’ll pick it up again. I do wanna check out some of the other offerings from old Forrest’s now |

I can get Russell's Reserve Single Barrel for $53 at the exchange and it is 100% worth every penny. Total Wine sells it for $72. Please refrain from mentioning this expression again.  A few years ago, mebbe around 6-7, an adult beverage shpo I used to window shop at (…’cause their prices were almost always on the higher side…), had the RRSB on clearance for $35. I looked at it, picked up a bottle and almost, repeat, ALMOST, took it to the register. But for some unknown reason, put it back. Have no frickin’ idea why since I liked the regular Russell’s and the $35 was mebbe a couple dollars more than the regular one so shoulda been a no-brainer. Apparently I left my brains in the car.  A couple weeks later I went back and, of course, they had sold out. Have regretted that poor decision ever since.  |

Jake, don't overlook Redemption Rye. Traditional Rye around $28 for 750ml. It's like a Padron xx, your never going to get wet panties over it but damn if it's not good and consistent. It's a great starting place to get into Rye, for sure (it was my first rye). |

Anyway wathens single barrel. No one ever suggested this one to me but for years this has been a treat yourself drink. I think maybe you guys may like. Im biased but give it a go. 94 proof. It’s certainly respectable |

They were only $300 a bottle. |
