Nothing man. Just picked a few random places and listed the things they have an affinity for. I love meth heads.

Good thing about meth heads is that they pretty much aren't dangerous. I mean, if you leave your garage open, they may steal your shovel. But you pretty much don't have to worry about any real crimes.

Livingston Parish... Come for the Bass Pro, stay for the meth.

It's my favorite of the $30 and under bourbons.

You don't have to go far. Their headquarters are in Metairie.

I think it's good for mixed drinks. I used a bottle to make primarily mint juleps, and they were damned good.

I like it ok. Bourbon is very subjective at that price point. Drink what you like is the best advice and there are plenty of good ones at or under $30. May I present my personal favorite, Pure Kentucky XO:

It's my go to, as far as just my everyday, not special occasion bourbon. I always have a bottle or two of it handy. For the price, it is hard to beat.

I love some Buffalo Trace. It's the only bourbon I always have on hand.

I don't like it. I'd rather go even cheaper or a little more expensive with Eagle Rare.

but it is by no means bad. Just preference.

It's good but the cheap dirty rat bastards that own the brand removed the handles from the handles of Old Charter 8 and completely obliterated the production of Old Charter 10. So screw them.

You got a link to that thread still? I'm pretty sure I cried laughing reading that one.

I've never seen a bottle of ER that cheap at the shops I frequent.
