I found Woodford to be watery and overpriced …

Of course I live in KY so if it isn't from here it isn't bourbon.

What did you think of it? Worth the price?

Compared to an Elijah Craig 12 that last sold at a similar price tag when still available here, yes, definitely.

The Bourbon prices go straight through the roof here last years. Bought a bottle of Blanton‘s SFTB for 89,- bucks about two years ago, sells for about 159,- bucks now…

My Son lives in the middle of Kentucky's Bourbon Country, driving through the area usually results in a fragrance you'll never forget. A lot of the labels are now owned by Japanese Companies.
If you get a chance, give Bourbon Balls a try......

Some phased out stuff yesterday...

Seems you favor Bulleit's limetone quarry content. While egg coffee adds a certain polish to joe,
I found Bulleit a bourbon with a distinctive taste, which occasionally would be fine, but not a game changer.

 

[TREEMAN]

Definitely not a game changer….

 

[TREEMAN]

Looks like Bulleit tonite......

 

[TREEMAN]

I AGREE ^^^

 

[TREEMAN]

Bulleit still the one …

I’ll keep an eye out for this. Lately I’m pretty much an Old No. 7 drinker.

Jack Daniel’s Just Released Its Best Whiskey Ever (And It's $30)

Their new Bonded line is a standout — but can it compete with the legacy of Old No.7?

Are we in a golden age of bourbon? Seems like there are a lot of good and affordable bourbons out there. Something to match every taste and pocketbook. I may have to broaden my habits and approach some of these with an open mind.

How true! Though the prices in this sector rose significantly at this end too, they didn’t as ridiculously as for Scotch and you can still get some very good drops at a moderate price tag here.
As usual there are some out there trying to milk the cow with overpriced fantasyland brands and labels on cheap, sourced booze but it’s no rocket science to sort these out.
A nice alternative can be Armagnacs, tastewise often astonishingly close to Bourbon at often very decent prices, especially at (very) old bottlings.

Cheers

What do y’all think of the Kirkland brand? (Costco’s house label)

 

[Turnip]

As far as I could see this is sourced from Barton1792/Sazerac so certainly a solid Bourbon but nothing to write home about.
