Hey Gramps what’s in your glass
Jul 14, 2022, 6:54 PM

I was thinking about taking boat out again for a booze cruise (beer only) but storms are rolling in. So my question is what’s the best bourbon you have and have you ever been disappointed by high dollar ( white whale bourbon)?

which I do enjoy when I want bourbon, but I have been on a dry July.
And BTW 19B®, was not able to open my Pappy at son's wedding - they would not allow it at the event.

Interesting thing. The price does not always denote how

good or bad any alcohol is really, liquor or wine. Now the really, best of the best will cost some money. But there are plenty that are expensive that are garbage, especially for the money. That being said, cheap stuff is not going to be good either. My sweet spot is $15-$20 for a bottle of wine. I've had $300 bottles of wine that were worse than $20 bottles. For bourbon my sweet spot is about $35-$60. Lots of good stuff in that range that's better than many $100+ bottles.
For example, this is what's in my glass tonight. About $45 or so. used to be $35. Eagle Rare used to be $35 too, now it's impossible to find and $100 if you find it.
Just finished off a nice double oak bourbon, about $35 a bottle.
Makers had a really nice one in the spring of 2021. Bought three of these. Was about $50.

My man. Great write up. I’m huge fan of eagle rare. Don’t really care bout the price. Daily drink is Buffalo trace. I know people may not like it. My big disappointment was pappy. I’ll take eagle rare or colonel Taylor any day Over that hot mess. And yes I have them

I quit trying to find B. Trace, Eagle Rare, and Col. Taylor

They are all EXCELLENT but the run on that Distillery and markup if you can find it steered me away from them.

Yeah, it's a never-ending saga of finding good bourbon

You find one cheap, that's really good. Then it becomes hard to find, then you eventually find it again at a price that's too expensive, then you keep searching for the next big thing that's cheap.
Eagle Rare was $35 when I started drinking it. Last bottle I actually saw as $95. NEXT!!!!!
That being said, I have a untouched half gallon bottle of it just sitting. Paid $50 for it.

Dry July. Lipton Diet Green Tea. Don't really drink bourbon.

Usually have some Beam or Evan Williams around for medicinal purposes, but since COVID I have not gotten many colds. So not many toddies made.
When drinking, APM prefers Scotch.
Disappointing high-end Scotch? Oban 14.

Balvenie 17 year old Doublewood - I know I paid over $200 for this at Costco and I like the 12 year better.

IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY OF THE EIGHT DOLLARS PLUS TAX THAT IT COSTS TO PURCHASE A FIFTH.

The best bourbon I own
Jul 15, 2022, 8:20 AM
|
|
is either Blantons Straight From the Barrel or Russells Reserve 13 Year.
I will smash WT 101 every day of the week though.

WT101 is so good, so smooth, and it is nice to know a bourbon connoisseur like yourself agrees with me on that one.

Its easily the best bottle in the $20 range. Plus, you dont feel guilty if you throw it in a mixed drink to take to the pool or letting visitors drink it however they please.

Wiggly Bridge Small Barrel Bourbon from Maine is a good little gem. The older young zettner got it for me when he was in Maine for Father's Day.
