That turkey is amazing. What a rope!

I live near Bardstown. Blantons is excellent bourbon if you can find it and afford it. I know a few guys near Frankfort and they will pick up a bottle at the distillery gift shop for $70.

Best bang for your buck under $30 in KY:

• Buffalo Trace
• Elijah Craig small batch
• Four Roses small batch
• Knob Creek 9 year
• Four Roses 80 proof (very light but good neat $25)

If you think you dont like cigars, try a good one with some good 90 proof bourbon neat

How’s your supply of Buffalo Trace there? Can’t seem to find it anywhere here.

Did you sell/trade any children to obtain that Elijah Craig 23?

Buff trace everywhere. $29

Buddy who works at heaven hill gave me that bottle

He was a hog. 2 beards, 1 3/8" spurs

For my Four Roses guys out there. Delicious!

Next door neighbor was over with these two and also Jack Daniel’s Sinatra select and knob creek 13 year. That rock hill is awesome.

I had STAGG for the first time a few weeks ago, it is awesome IMO.

So many novelty bourbons now. Several are legit. Some are just in fancy bottles with fancy labels, fancy stories and fancy price tags! Regular old Buffalo Trace ($27) last night and another fella brought a bottle of Four Roses 80 proof.($16) I'm thinkin that Buffalo Trace is the biggest bang for your buck and actually better then several fancy bourbons that cost much more. Four Roses 80 is better than several bourbons twice the price, if your ok with a light, 80 proof bourbon

Buffalo Trace has been hard to find for the past year or so.

Unfortunately, there is no "Regular old Buffalo Trace" around here. When a liquor store gets a case, it's like buzzards on a gut wagon and the price is $200-300. My neighbor is an over the road truck driver and the last bottle of Buffalo he brought home for me came from California. $30. I was happier than heck!!

I don’t. Turkey is some of the best juice out there, especially the single barrel Russell’s Reserve and those that are NCF. You also can’t go wrong with Rare Breed for the higher proof fans like me.

Man, I can walk into a store today and pick it up for about $30. It all depends on where you are located these days from a distribution standpoint.

My son found some in SC a couple of weeks ago. They didn’t have it out, but he asked and they had some “in the back”. Would only let him buy one bottle. They had both 1 liter and 750ml, and let him have one of each.

 

[beaglegun]

You can get Blantons at the Buff Trace gift shop in Frankfort for $70. Hard to find anywhere else. If you do, its crazy money. No better bourbon in my opinion, but that's just me.

If you can get this, buy it if its not to marked up. Bout $40 in KY

Nice! That Director’s cut ain’t cheap. My maternal grandmother was a Pendleton, so I tend to buy a bottle in her honor whenever I catch it at a decent price. Their rye is good as well.
