Yep, all are available at Dorignacs on Vets Blvd. The Russell's is 7 dollars cheaper at Martin's just down the road.

This is the first bottle from the BTAC that I've gotten my hands on. I'll try to make another run to Dorignacs soon(it's about 30 minutes away from me). If they have any left, I'll pick up another bottle and let you know.

much appreciated. I got nothing to do saturday after golf so I am going to hit every spirts store within a 50' radius of Orlando. I hope I get lucky and find atleast one good bottle.

Is it that good? I've been getting back into my whiskey/bourbon/scotch drinking (big into beers for a while) and would like to venture out from makers. Not sure I have the trained palate to appreciate the T.H. though...

Do you like Rye whiskey? If so, yes T Handy is a very good Rye.

Can't say, I haven't tried it yet. Its more about finding what you like, than it is about having a trained palate. Just because you might not like something that so called experts love, doesn't mean you are wrong. For example, almost no one agrees with me, but I've got a bottle of EH Taylor barrel proof at home that I like more than the pours I've had of Stagg and PVW 15.

Then a high proof Rye may not be the best thing to reintroduce yourself on. It's gonna be "hot" and have alot of spice...

Maybe start with a good small batch Bourbon. Something like Four Roses Small Batch. Jeffersons Reserve Very Old Very Small Batch is a wonderful Bourbon that is very smooth and easy to drink.

Rare bottles that are barrel strength, limited runs, hand number are becoming very hard to find. I am starting to see stores take waiting lists or have drawings for such items. I live in FL and cant find anything rare or limited in the stores near me. I am going to expand my search to other areas to see what I can find.

I'll slowly kill the handle of makers first then go from there. I drank whiskey on the rocks for almost my entire freshman year then slowly got away from it. I was drinking crap whiskey though due to lack of funds. Anyway, I still loved it and need to get back to drinking it. Glad I'm making money now so I can move up from Kentucky Gold.

There you go! Go get yourself a bottle of that Jeffersons Reserve and enjoy.

Last drop of the Gold I had was during freshman year. Grossest stuff ever but somehow I liked it. Makers is like water in comparison.

I bought some woodford reserve the other day as a gift and tried some. It was very smooth. I regretted mixing it with coke.

Just out of curiosity, what's the point? Looks cool or provides less surface area for the amount of ice in your drink to keep from diluting it?
