I'm a fan of Makers as an everyday go to, anyone have any recommendations of some things to try that has a slight sweetness/vanilla taste similar to Makers to try?
For a change of pace from Makers try Elijah Craig 12. It has that vanilla sweetness that you are looking for.

I was really looking forward to this years Bourbon Society Christmas Party, but my son is supposed to be born the day before. I'll have to catch you gentlemen next year.
I mean that's maybe a valid excuse. I dunno though. I say you just bring him along. He needs to understand from an early age how important bourbon is.

That is a really solid list, however, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a JPS18 for this.
Speaking of, was it you NOLA that still has the JPS17s?

agreed. probably more like $450. batch # would play into it some though

Yea I wasn't sure what they are going for these days. And I think you can get a 4R LE for less than 300? I just put 300 for both those becasue he said he didn't want to do more than that for a bottle. But if collectively he can get a 4R and JPS for 600 thats what I would do.
JPS 17s...whats that

Is anyone noticing a shortage of Blantons? I had not seen it at any of the liquor stores here in Savannah until I came across a dusty bottle out on the island. Some of the other store have a great selection of higher end bourbons but not Blantons.
Also I hear a lot of people here talking about what a great value Eagle Rare is.(29.99 here) I have been drinking Widow Jane, Basil Hayden, Bookers and Angel's Envy lately. How would you say it compares to these higher priced bourbons?

Blantons has been patchy for a while now.
Its as good or better than some of those.

You can get a 2015 4RSMBLE for $250-$300, probably closer to $300 though. A 2014 would run about $175-$200 right now I think.
I would make the argument that you could do a coupl different barrel picks of 4 roses, get 3-4 different mashbills for that price.
Also I'm not sure what I would take off the list but I would add a Rock Hill or ETL to it. Both are between $40-$70 with shipping and I think both are betting than Blantons personally.
Other than that a solid list. I would take that bar any day of the week.

Hmm. Well I would argue that ER is better than Basil Hayden's. Especially a store pick of ER, that is just good 10 year old bourbon. I haven't had Widow Jane unfortunately so can't compare.
Angels Envy is really good. I think it's price is always in fluctuation for me, I've seen it between $40 and $75 in the last year. It's not worth $75 to me, I think $50 is about the most I would want to spend on it. I also am not alway in the mood for that port finish versus ER I can always drink.
Lastly Bookers is a whole other animal than ER. Bookers is cask strength and packs a mighty punch. I'm a big fan of Bookers bc it has a bold flavor but again it's what your personal preference is.
You really can't go wrong with ER, especially at its price. Definitely a great bargain bourbon.

I forgot about RHF...theres still room $ wise on that list to add id if the prices I guessed were close.

I have probably drank 1 or 2 JPS18s since this pic.

All day at $350. I believe the last Jps I saw sold for $550? And I saw a jps 17 sell for $800.

Dang them prices going up I remember the 17s being 350-400 and the 18s were 200 and no one really was wanting them.

I know you guys hate on BinQ but they just got a SAOS 9 yr bourbon barrel pick. 109 proof. I just sampled it. Damn it's good.

I think the consensus on them for the most part is that they suck as a retailer. Keep all the good stuff in the back and charge secondary. Have an auction outside the store for BTAC, stuff like that. That's why I don't like to give them my business.
That being said, they really know how to pick a good barrel of whiskey. Their smooth ambler picks have all been good, same with 1792. Never got around to trying their OESK though. I'm sure this 9 year will be just as good.

I don't think anyone has ever said his picks were bad he's just a tool.
He's doing a live auction for his allocated bottles this year apparently....
