Yeah tell me about it. Do you have the BX bourbon porn group?

The creator was talking about making a new group but with more restrictions.

Several stores I have been in were pushing these brands and had opened bottles for tasting. They tasted watered down, age lacking. Texas bourbon is very new and maybe over the next 5 yrs things will improve but I am not willing to pay $75 for what i thought was poor bourbon.

at $75 that is the same price level as stagg, er17,lot b

I'm trying to get into better whiskeys but don't know which direction to go.

The best thing I have right now is a couple of $32 handles of crown.

What would be a good first step from here?

I'd read through this thread or search the f&d board, there's been several recent threads with bourbon recs.

Pretty hard to beat those 3 but I'd switch out ER10 for Weller 12.

Honorable mentions in that price range: turkey 101, Buffalo trace, bullet, 4 roses small batch, Evan Williams single barrel

I'm able to get good prices at the BX, which is how I got a handle of crown for 32...

I'll take a long look around the BX for the mentioned bottles next time I'm there.

I'm posting for a friend...
He is looking to trade a GTS 2013 for a ER17 2013.
Anyone interested?
