Ok, I had Booker's last night again for the first time since in a long time. Actually only the third time I have had it since I bought it back in March. It is a hell of a lot better with two cubes of ice and a splash of water than it was neat!

Now, I need a review on Bulleit Bourbon. I have always wanted to try it, but have always talked myself out of it. What would you compare it to?

Bookers is good but hot...so two cubes is a good idea.

Bullet I like the 10 year...not sure what to compare it too.

I'm not much into scotch for some reason. The last one I tried was some Johnny walker blue...and I just couldn't get into it.

Well I did have it with one of my frat brother but we are old alumni lol (15 years ago) Maybe I need to have some other stuff :)

What would you suggest to pull someone from the yummy brown bourbon?

100% found a store that will get btac and pappy. I I went today to introduce myself to the store owner. We had a good 30 min talk about bourbon but all I got out of him was that if he could help me out he would. Said he sells the pappy to people that have been coming in for yrs. was very deflated after this. I got the store name from sazerac rep. So I bought a Taylor bottle today to try and make face.

Yeah that's the case with every store I've spoken too also.

What does George T Stagg usually go for on BX? I'm pretty sure that'll be my only option if I want a bottle.

Low $150 high $225 from what I have seen. Now you have crazy people that ask almost $300 a bottle but they are not getting that. If I had to guess the avg sale price is between 170-190 a bottle.

That's why I send king cakes to the ones out of louisiana and give angels envy to the ones in louisiana. Along with buying reg stuff from the same person.

Lol I have to buy my AE from the place I send the king cakes so they hook me up with BTAC and pappy. I can tell you where to order the best king cakes tho. A little pricy shipped but worth it. Many randazo in New Orleans. They have a website.
