Love all 3. Pappy is very good , but not as good as it's price.
Nothing wrong with a nice glass of wine or 4. Maybe that's just me ....
My bargain bourbon is actually Trader Joe's house label at $15 a bottle . Stacks up favorably with most $25-30 bottles imo
Couldn’t find any eagle rare 😒

Finally found some Sazarec 6 year. I’ll give it a try this week. Paid $27 at Total Wine & More in California.

Good stuff.....
I've got Bulleit Rye, Woodford Reserver Rye and Knob Creek Rye. Wild Turkey 101 is a Rye-heavy whiskey.
I think it's quite good !Finally found some Sazerac 6 year. I’ll give it a try this week. Paid $27 at Total Wine & More in California.

But I did find some Sazerac. Total wine had four sections of rye. I swore I looked everything over at least three times. Was about to give up. Looked one last time. Then *BAM!* There it was! $30 for a fifth. Very delicious. I'm going to have to put everything into a spreadsheet one of these days.
I bet it tastes like mediocrity. LolYeah.... no. LOL
If You drink that .. you’ll wake up in barn full of hogs with a white suit.Yeah.... no. LOL
TJ's has a lot of great alcohol at great prices. We love that store.
Of all the garbage whiskies, Evan Williams is top of the heap. Take that to the bank!

Bourbon bonanza: Buffalo Trace celebrates filling eight millionth barrel of bourbon since Prohibition
Buffalo Trace Distillery filled its eight millionth barrel of bourbon since Prohibition, so the brand is celebrating with a massive contest that includes a $10k trip to Kentucky and an ultra-exclusive log cabin stay.
Buffalo Trace is my bourbon of choice....I also really appreciate Masterson's 10 year old Rye it has a great flavor...I have been nursing a bottle of that for a while...it is almost empty!
I’ve never cared for ryes. I like lots of Bourbons so maybe I just haven’t tasted a good rye.
Appreciate your taste, bourbons are a little sweeter when comparing.
Enjoy everyone’s take on their favorites. Wished I would of payed more attention 45 years ago when I started my steakhouse and lounge business. Going on the bourbon trail this spring, get more education on the history.
Evan Williams is the king of value bourbon and Evan Williams BiB would smash Sazerac Rye in a blind testing for 95%+ of the population no doubt in my mind. Probably beat Buffalo Trace as well.
Haha your bar at home is full of Kirkland and Evan Williams.. I think I’ll pass on that invite 🤣
Kirkland Single Barrel still holding up very well against bourbons twice its price. Have a few recent barrel proof offerings from JD, EC, and others that are all very similar in quality. If you enjoy paying double, triple, or even more for an inferior product that is your prerogative.
I’m not a big 1792 fan.. if I was, I would buy Kirkland. I’ll stick to my Blanton’s.Kirkland Single Barrel still holding up very well against bourbons twice its price.

Looks like @Greg Smith needs to be included in this thread. Cheers!!
I should have known there was a thread about this. I’ll be going through and taking notes.
Join the Buffalo Trace family. Blanton's, Eagle Rare, etc. You won't be disappointed.
I enjoy all those. Blanton's is in the regular rotation. Currently have that, Rabbit Hole Heigold, Rabbit Hole Cavehill and Bulleit Rye in the house.
I should buy Eagle Rare more often.
Are you in Lincoln? I can't find Blanton's or any Buffalo Trace at any stores here. Have to order online for a higher price.
I am in Lincoln. I get it from The Still but I’m on a list where they email each time they have it in stock. Not sure if they even still add people to it.
It’s worth a shot though. Email info@thestill.com and ask to be placed on the list.
Thanks. If you read through this thread I posted a few articles on Buffalo Trace firing its national distributor and ramping up production. Hopefully it starts making its way to the shelves here in the Midwest.
The regular Buffalo Trace is just as good as Blantons to me. Eagle Rare is better than both.
All good stuff. The Blanton's is kinda overpriced at the site I buy it at. Eagle Rare has been the best bang for the buck. Just bought a bottle of Bulleit for 30 bucks. Pretty solid bourbon for the price.
Blanton is hard to find in Omaha too..Buffalo Trace is hit and miss, been enjoying Elijah Craig the past couple of weeks..
Definitely need to purchase some of that Rabbit Hole.
