Tonight I've had Maker's Mark RC6, Elijah Craigh Barrel Proof A119, and Blantons. I can never make my mind up so I just have my buddy pick numbers from 1 to however many whisk(e)ys I have on my shelf and that's what I drink. In this case it's 1-34.

I got something I guarantee ain't none of y'all got.

Dont mind the Cruzan, that's the wife's. And don't ask me how it tastes, no way I was opening this unless it was a celebration.

I've been putting back the usual Buffalo Trace and Evan Williams SB lately. I finished a bottle of Old Forrester 100 Proof recently that was REALLY delicious for 21 bucks.

Finally got my hands on a bottle of OGD114. I've been seeing this getting a lot of attention in the various groups and thought I'd grab some. IMO, it's justokay. There are several others I would take in that $28-$30 price range over OGD114, but they are not 114 proof so that's the trade off.
Flavor wise, it's pretty spicy as you would expect. I put a couple ice chips in and it drastically improved the overall taste. More caramel, more vanilla. Call me crazy, but I prefer the $21 OGD Bottled in Bond over this one.

I got through a bottle of OGD recently and am going to start buying it more often - at ~$20 here for BIB proof it's a hell of a deal.

At 114 do you actually taste anything? I know even for me Wild Turkey 101 loses all flavor profile and is just alcohol at that point. I've never vibed on anything over 100 proof. I basically live in that 80-100 range.

Jam packed with caramel, cinnamon, and leathery sweetness. It's spicy but really, really damn good.
edit: from the previous page
Cant believe I got that bottle in January and still have 2/3 left. lol

My local Costco had liter bottles of Buffalo Trace for $35.
I'm going to snag one next time I go.

[QUOTE=jfindon post_id=1605679721][img]https://i.imgur.com/jL0zGZK.jpg[img][/QUOTE]KC 9yr SiB is probably the best bourbon in terms of proof, availability, and cost. 40-45$, found on shelves nearly everywhere, SiB, and 120 proof. always have these on hand and especially the store picks of this which tend to be well north of 9 years old.

Picked up another bottle of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof over the weekend. Prices are up to $60+tax here in Ohio now.
Apologies for the size, still trying to figure out how to resize images from the Chromebook.

What are some good rye whiskies?
I don't want to spend more than $40.
I've only had the Jim Beam and Jack Daniel's ryes.

My favorite semi-local distillery, McLaughlin Distillery, has one called Devil's Juice. It's finished with toasted hickory wood and is quite literally like drinking a campfire. This guy continues to impress me and I would honestly choose his stuff over big name brands any day.
