1. Officially ready for upcoming bachelor party for my brother

2. Picked these up today. Ended up the Russell's Single Barrel wasthe very last bottle at my supermarket, had been discontinued, and there was no tag on the shelf. They tried for like 15 minutes to ring it up at the register but apparently they didn't even have a stock number assigned to it.
Manager's response: Guess it's free for buying everything else.

Picked up a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 today, not a huge fan. For only $7 more I could've picked up a bottle of Russell's 10yr or EWSB.

Been wanting to try eagle rare for a while now, but don't think they have it up here anymore.
Only thing I've seen is the single barrel version ER, anyone try it?

10 yr single barrel
17 year single barrell
Finding the 10 year isn't too hard where I live, I've never even seen a 17 year bottle available to buy.
Either way, delicious. The 10yr is a steal if you can find it. Hnnnggggg

Edit: PissWithin, every year Buffalo releases their "antique collection" - five unique bottlings that come out just the once a year. If you want to score ER17 you will need to wait for the 2018 collection. It's some of their best stuff and since it's single barrel, people with more willpower than me like to hold onto bottles for years and taste the different years bottlings like wine drinkers compare vintages.
All 5 Antiques have an MSRP of $90, though you almost always end up paying more. Buy them if you see them, especially George T Stagg which has nearly as much hype as pappy. You could turn around and resell it for twice what you paid.
Don't get it confused with the Stagg Jr which is available year round. George T Stagg is the antique, like ER 17 is the Eagle Rare antique, and William Larue Weller is the Weller antique.

How do you brahs decide what to try/how do you stop yourselves from buying literally everything? I'm thinking I need to find a good bourbon bar in Indianapolis to set aside some fun money and just try some bourbons before I buy the whole shelf lmao

Alright brosephs...
1. What is your ideal ratio of whiskey:coke? Like how many oz:fl oz? I've typically just eyeballed it and poured but wondering if someone else has a more scientific appreciation/method.
2. Tried and true or uniquely interesting cocktails using bourbon? Looking for something outside of the standard classics (or a twist on a classic)
Cheers

A textbook highball is a 1:4 spirit:mixer. On a standard 1.5 oz shot that is 6 oz of mixer, or half a standard can.
I personally lean more towards three drinks off a can of
mixer, but that's the standard ratio.
Classic bourbon cocktail: Manhattan or old fashioned
Twist on a classic: Boulevardier (negroni but sub bourbon for the gin. Negronis are my favorite gin cocktail so I'm partial to this one too).
Unique cocktails for Bourbon: Revolver or Paper Plane. A revolver is easy to make. Paper plane will require buying at least two bottles you only use to make paper planes, but, gun to my head, that's my favorite "fancy" cocktail, better even than a Last Word.

I can't remember which one of you bros recommended Benchmark 8, and I'm too lazy to search back - but good looking out!!!!
Just picked up a bottle for $8.49 and it's awesome. I know it's made by BT, but it sure tastes like 80% of the original Buffalo Trace. Sort of like a diet Buffalo Trace
Very much recommended!!
