I wanted to start a thread on a subject that's near and dear to me. Good old American bourbon!
It's definitely my drink of choice. How about you guys? Are you bourbon drinkers?
I'm going to pour me one of these tonight and do a little sippin'.
Are there any other bourbon drinkers here?

Developed a taste for Bourbon about 8 years ago. Knob Creek 9, Willett and Buffalo Trace(when you can get it) are among my favorites. I regret not liking bourbon while my Dad was alive as he thought Windsor was good stuff.
Currently planning a trip to Kentucky to visit some distilleries next spring.Yep, my name really is Bob.

Oh I like a lot of them. Too many to list plus there are a ton more I've never tried. I'd love to go to a "Bourbon Trail" tour in Kentucky one of these days. A lot of my friends have gone to them.
If you noticed, that bottle of Woodford Reserve in my picture was a store pick from Whiskey Business in Covington, TN. Since you like Knob Creek here's another store pick I bought the same day from Whiskey Business.
Delicious!

I like it, but it usually isn't consumed as much as scotch for me. I tend to go for the lower price picks since I don't really enjoy the barrel proof and the store picks are just insanely priced around here. I'm a on-the-rocks partaker.

I normally don't like a bourbon that has anything added for flavor, but the Knob Creek Maple surprised me.Yep, my name really is Bob.

Oh I'll take bourbon over Scotch any day. Bourbon prices have dropped significantly over the past year as demand has dropped and there is now a glut on the market. Allocated selections and store pics are now not only more affordable, they are more readily available where before top shelf bourbons would fetch a lot more than the MSRP on the secondary market.
It looks to be a buyer's market for bourbon for at least another year or two.
Time to stock up. -
Yes the market in the DFW area is changing. I picked up a number of bottles today. All these were at very reasonable prices.
3 - 750ml Weller Antique $66 each
1 - 750ml Eagle Rare $52
1 - 750ml EH Taylor Single Batch $47
1 - 1.75l Buffalo Trace $472 Channel Rosso Fiorentino Volterra II, 2 REL T9x, Norma Revo IPA-140B, Norma Revo DAC-2, Lumin U2 Mini, VPI Prime w/SoundSmith Zephyr MIMC, ModWright PH-150, SonoruS ATR10, AudioQuest Niagara 7000 w/Dragon power cable, WAY power cables for all other sources, WAY Silver 3 Ana+ speaker cables, WAY interconnect cables -
Eagle Rare was a $35-$40 bottle before the bourbon craze of the last 3 years. Prices are still elevated.

I haven’t seen a difference in my local options. I also had heard that prices would come down a little and rarer bourbons would be easier to find due to drop in demand and overproduction the past few years. Not seeing it.

I went and picked up three of these awesome picks......
This one of my favorites. It's liquid gold! An allocated single barrel that the store has to purchase an entire barrel in order to sell. It varies in proof from about 120 - 135. Of course my favorite store "Whiskey Business" got the 135 proof.
I'm drinking one right now. Tomorrow I think I'll go buy at least three more bottles while they still have them.
If you ever see this, grab it. You will not be disappointed!
