I like a good rum too, but once you've found the bourbons that appeal to you it's worth the journey. Need to try some Eagle Rare one of these days. But for now my doggies says it's time for the morning walk and then back to the barn I go.
Yep, my name really is Bob.

For me, 4 Roses Yellow label is a bit "smoother" and cheaper too

I stopped into a new store tonight. It was explained to me by the clerk that the “standard“ beverages are sold at state minimum. In short, Michigan has a monopoly on liquor.
In a locked glass case he had several “secondary market“ beverages to choose from. These are bottles that he can price as he sees fit. He had a bottle of Stagg for 500 clams! Says he can only get 2 bottles a year of that rarity. Hence the crazy price

Chad & Sara from "It's Bourbon Night" call that a Perry pour
is that Knob Creek Small batch or single Barrel?
I'm not a Scotch fan but after trying and liking some Irish Red Breast 12 I had to try some Balvenie Double Wood 17 and it was pretty good for a Scotch

Okay New Years is coming up soon and...I tried some "Barrell Bourbon" 2019 New Year's batch and it very special...was like $89 & over a hundred with taxes added.
Me and Todd @tratliff had a long talk at Skip's about "Barrell Bourbons" Stuff and we are both big fans of it and I know we both highly recommend trying one if you get the chance. It isn't cheap but it is worth the price... and if you buy one and don't like it just bring it to skips or LSAF and we will buy it back from you and buyi you something else to replace it

The Blanton's was my every day bourbon the last few months of my drinking career. I could get them at my local Costco, they would release them about once a month. I'd buy 6 of them and felt like a bandit.
JD is fine in a mixer but if you try most any of the ones mentioned in this thread w/o mixing I doubt you'll go back to it.

Comments
also from Willet is: Rowans Creek & Noah Mills which are both excellent.
If you never tried a Rye I'd recommend "Knob Creek Rye" to start with.

Yes. I found it to be kind of too smooth.
Lacking in complexity for my taste.

I like the 4 Roses Single Barrel... how does it compare to the Small Batch? Haven't tried that one yet

This.
Only ever had it in Kentucky at The Brown Hotel until a couple weeks ago when I stumbled on it at a small mom and pop shop for $36.
Way better and smoother than a 10 year has any right to be.
If you can find it, pick it up.
I promised to share mine with a friend and it's really hard not to drink it all until he finally gets his **** over here to share.
It is bottled in bond, though, so it's a solid 100 proof. Stronger than normal 90-92 proof. With how smooth it is, one can get in trouble faster.
You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you!
