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

Fantastic

Big enough flavor to carry the proof

We get their straight bourbon whiskey and straight rye distributed locally so I've been able to sample before buying

Single barrels are distillery only but they ship to a bunch of states

They're priced a bit high in the $50-60 range so the cask strength was a bit of a splurge for me

I have been reading a lot about how the bourbon fad is in decline. It may be true as posts here have slowed also. The good news is some bourbon that was impossible to find is now being seen on the shelves in these parts with prices getting back within reason.

That's comical. It's not that way in KC. And because of the speculative nature of bourbon prices, I doubt the cost ever comes back down much.

It's common for something like Eagle Rare to be marked up to $100 or more, and that's if you can even find it on the shelf ever. Hell, Weller Special Reserve (the crap green bottle) is going for probably double MSRP. And again, that's only if you can actually find one.

It's kind of seasonal, too. A helluva lot of 'decent' bourbon gets purchased for gifting @ Christmas time. Bourbon's become trendy, compared to what it was 20 years ago. I keep a few bottles of 'unobtainium' around just for toasting football victories - or even sweet plays. It's really easy to talk me into drinking the good whiskey, given half a chance.

I think a lot of that has to do with RNDC losing the distributorship of the Sazerac line. In Omaha once they lost the business all of a sudden things like Stag and EH Taylor were popping up and then at restaurants that would never have things like Blatons Gold, Blantons SFTB and high end Weller products, were readily available.

The amount of people at the raffles around here continues to climb so in my neck of the woods it is not in decline for sure.

If you haven't done so you should check out the Ben Holladay offerings. Their bottled in bond and Soft Red Wheat are both excellent products for the price point. They are located in Weston, Mo and give a nice tour. If you go make sure to pick up a bottle of the Rickhouse Proof.

I picked up a couple of bottles of 80 proof Very Old Barton early this week, on the MO side of the line - hard to find in KS. It may not be the BEST whiskey you'll find on the shelf. Might be the best $10/750 you'll find, so keep an eye out for it. One more tidbit of info - VOB is released @ 80, 86, 90 & 100 proof. I never see the high proof stuff around here these days, but in the old days that 90 & 100 proof VOB sure was good. Another FYI - in the good old days, they kept this stuff 'in the wood' til it was 5 years old or older. Nowdays it's usually 3 years old - but hey...$10 on sale in MO. Pretty hard to beat.

I don't know if it counts as bourbon but Black Velvet has always been my thing. If I'm ever feeling extra rich I'll treat myself to some Jhack Daginals, but I honestly don't think it tastes any better than BV, and therefore the price feels outrageous to me.
