Any Bourbon drinkers out there?
I've heard some good things about Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
http://www.buffalotrace.com/ Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order. Thanks |

If you're buying alcohol for the taste and can't afford $5 more for a better bottle, you probably live with a roommate in Billay's neighborhood. |

So I was at a hotel bar in downtown Boston over the weekend. I expected to be paying a premium given how expensive Boston is. Instead, I was privy to some of the most bizarre pricing I’ve ever seen. I took a pic:
Blanton’s the same price as Maker’s? High West American Prairie more expensive than Whistlepig? |

I’ve been drinking Michters various options and Basil Hayden a lot more lately. And just buying stuff I have never had.
Blanton’s is my favorite of the stuff that is not terribly difficult to get your hands on. I’ve got some friends that get all the rarer Col Taylor’s and stuff that is hard to get. Not all, but most of those that cost over $100 a bottle I’d still take Blanton’s. |

So I started by running through the Sazarac owned ones since I can never find them locally. Then I had a Whistlepig. Then I let the bartender do the driving with a few northeasterners I wasn’t familiar with. Discovered that I am not a fan of peated bourbons.

Noticed a bottle of Weller 12 inside the case of a corner convenience store on Friday. Asked the guy how much and thought he said $49 and started to reach for my wallet and he said no, it's $249. LOL. No joke.
