Bourbon.

Baker's never gets much love, but in my mind, its second only to Booker's in the Beam Small Batch line.

Agree with this - Baker’s is excellent. Not sure if it exceeds Knob 15, but still excellent.

Got an OF store pick (very similar proof too) in Tennessee last month. It is an amazing whiskey, and really blew me away as I usually don’t like OF. If you haven’t tried it yet, I think you’ll love it

Happy Friday!

Houston peeps. Total Wine on 1960 just got in a case of the Fall 2008 BiB if you’re looking. Picked one up today but left the rest for ya’ll

Opened this up tonight. Very tasty with an outstanding finish, but probably not worth retail.

Have not had the pleasure of trying any of the last few posted bourbons. Thoughts? Also, probably already been discussed, but is part of the current Blanton’s hype due to the John Wick movie product placement?

All alone for the late games means I can pour myself a flight.

I don't think so. Blanton's has been sought after for years, part of the mania around bourbon that got started 4 or 5 years ago at least. I've had several bottles over the years, and although it's good, I would definitely not pay secondary market prices or anything above MSRP to be honest.

My feelings exactly.

Happy Monday!

I have found that the Four Roses small batch has actually become harder to find than the single barrel bottles at least near me. Shame as well since I prefer this one and its cheaper as well.. I guess others feel the same.

Interesting. I see it around here in San Diego pretty consistently. I’m definitely going to do a side by side tasting now. I enjoy both for sure, but perhaps let Whiskey Advocate influence my tastes!

OO, bourbon is my weak spot, I just adore it, its softness and texture. ANd here is my Top-3, that I really recommend:
Old Forester
Woodford Reserve
Wild Turkey
