It's pretty good...nice showcase bottle to have, though the price has climbed high enough that I don't purchase it that often.

Reminds me of a Rowan's Creek/Noah's Mill, maybe? But those bottles can be inconsistent so maybe not the best comparison.

I feel like Willett is pretty consistent.

good god no.....

whole lot of good bourbons out there for that price. search the thread but off the top of my head, eagle rare, elijah craig, four roses small batch and single barrel and a good bit more are all in that range and a much better buy than "Evan Williams or Jim Beam"



Went a little more on my budget and spent $51.99 for Blanton's original single barrel

Thoughts? Gulf Coast Spirits was doing a taste test for people today.

Just got a random call from local store to come pick up bottle of Elmer t lee. Only took about 10 months. Maybe some is starting to become available again. Guess the weller 12 is still AWOL.

Where to start, Eagle Rare, Weller, 4roses, Knob Creek, Willet, etc. Lots of really good bourbon in that price range. Hell I forgot the EHT. Enjoy

Anyone use these wire racks for storing their whisky? Did this today, and the one shelf seems to bow a little.

Nice collection. 1/2 PD. Not enjoying the 2nd bottle as much as the first. Still enjoy but kinda inconsistent between bottles.

It was tricky especially with narrow bottles like Knob SB I had to put them in the back and turn them perpendicular so they didnt want to tip over between the wires. It is better than the cupboard I was using. I can find things now.
