one that I have found that is really good especially for the price is Old Grandad 114. It’s around 26 per bottle.

Their BIB is REALLY good too.

Heaven Hill distillery getting some love in this thread. They make Mellow Corn, Henry McKenna, Evan Williams, and Elijah Craig. All good products.

My cheaper every-day bourbon is Elijah Craig.

If I want something nicer, it's Blanton's or Woodford Reserve.


In that price range, Woodford Reserve is hard to beat. In fact, I think I'll start the weekend right now with a double on the rocks and a little water.

I will say I started buying Four Roses Small Batch Select and it is fricking incredible.


I find this bourbon to be a bit sharp tasting. To my palate, Woodford Reserve is smoother.

One could find Buffalo Trace very easily a few years ago. Now it's nearly impossible.

Don't get me started on Eagle Rare. That shite is like finding a unicorn in the wild.

Was at a function with an open bar last weekend (in Alabama) and the only two bourbons they had were BT and ER.

Asked the bartender how they managed to get both, and she said the CEO of Sazerac was supposed to be in attendance, and he had them sent there ahead of time because that's what he wanted to drink.

ABC store in mountain brook? I saw a big line there

Sounds like you need to take a road trip to the ATL and check out Green's Lacquers. They have everything and always have. No ABC in Georgia either.

Visiting my son in Japan mid Nov. & he's telling there are plenty of the top brands there, reasonable priced. Reading that I can pack bottles of booze in my suitcase with no customs' issues.

The Liquor Barn chain in KY always has a good selection of bourbon.
