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!!

Dropped into this place the other night. Just some restaurant and bar in Austin, TX. I was happy they had a nice whiskey selection with good prices on a lot of it. And it was 25% off all whiskey, bourbon, and Scotch that day too. 2oz pours.

I also picked some up and it surprised a lot of the guys at the bachelor party last weekend. Great recommendation.
It's pretty good in a Revolver or a Paper Plane too, though I usually make those with Bulleit.
$17 for a 1.75l down here including a 2 liter of Coke. Insane value for the money.

Just found out that WhiskeyFest is a thing, and it hits Chicago every year which is near me. Anyone ever been to a big convention/event like this? Is it worth the almost $300 price tag, or would I be better off setting aside cash to taste on my own at a whiskey bar?

Noticed the other day the local Target finally put the security cables around the Blanton's boxes, people kept opening each box to look at which stopper they'd be getting.

I still cant believe I was lucky enough to find one local at only 50 bucks. Im only going to sip on this for special occasions and savor this bottle for a while.

Had a couple over for a bourbon tasting last night. Gave them 6 small samples in plastic shot glasses. Had them taste it neat, wait a few seconds, then add a couple drops of ice water to the drink and try again giving each an overall score out of 100.…
The options were:
Buffalo Trace
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof
Benchmark
Four Roses Small Batch
Makers 46
Knob Creek Single Barrel
The dude gave the highest score of 97 to Knob Creek followed by Buffalo Trace.
His wife loved Four Roses, and Benchmark.

The Winn Dixie near me is going OUT OF BUSINESS, and their liquor store keeps cranking up the discounts to clear shelves. Currently 25% off and going to 35% next week.
Beer/wine are gone, vodka is basically all gone (just like melon flavor and chit left) and most of the rums, but there's still some mighty fine bourbons and scotches on the shelf. Going to keep an eye on it this week - I don't NEED anything but prices are going to get stupid cheap in a hurry, can maybe score some good bottles for a song.
Picked up Teeling Irish Whiskey. This is an Irish that's aged 6 months in rum casks - very interesting and different, lots of banana and spice notes come through from the rum cask finishing. 92 proof too. Keep an eye out for this - it's well worth the $40 (but even better if you can score it on closeout for $30)

I just picked this up yesterday.
Single Malts are good, but sometimes I just prefer Blended Scotch.
What's your favorite Blended Scotch?
