Costco pretty near me has a decent selection at good prices. Was there today and picked up some Elijah Craig. But they had Makers, Bulleit, Larceny, Breckenridge, and a few others along with the Kirkland Premium Small Batch which is pretty good.
There's a liquor superstore in the same area that is pretty close (or better) in price and has a gigantic bourbon area, so I tend to go there a bit more often. That Costco is crazy-busy most of the time. I was only there today because I picked up a new laptop for the Mrs.

Anyone got their hands on a bottle of Weller 12yr?
That's probably some of the best tasting whiskey ever.

Tonights line up will be Four Roses Single Barrel, Ledaig 21 and finishing off with Octomore 11.1.
Had a Vieux Carre the other night made with Wild Turkey 101 rye. You need to try one. Delicious!

If one wanted a celebratory bottle in the $150-300 range what would you choose?
Also, if you got something in the $500-700 range for a celebration is there a significant difference in quality of said $500 bottle vs a $250 bottle?

More money spent doesn't always mean a better product. This probably doesn't help but it's always nice to break out that bottle or 2 for a special occasion.I haven't either, but I'd like 1 nice bottle that is more expensive for special occasions.

I finally get to try it! I bought a bottle of this during the holiday season at Costco when they put them on sale. I do enjoy it, definitely a slow sipper. It should not have the price tag that it has. I do not regret buying it.

or i'm getting 2 bottles of Bookers.
i don't think my taste is there yet but i've never honestly felt the difference in a bottle north of like $300 vs options that are $100-$150. i've had pappy 15yr and whistle pig 18 year (rye), both priced through the roof, honestly did not "taste" the difference vs options at half or less the cost. but that might be on me for not being able to appreciate it yet.

I think Im boycotting them just out of principle based on my post below from a couple weeks ago. lol

Who are those rat bastards at Heaven Hill trying to compete with at that price? Buffalo Trace and Makers are still below $26 here in Central Ohio. At that inflated price I may as well get the 10-year Russell's Reserve white label.
I wonder if Heaven Hill's other big ones jumped in price too? Larceny, Evan Williams, etc?

Went to the store to get the fixings to make Vieux Carre's. Wild Turkey 101 Rye, Pierre Ferrand 1st Cru de Cognac, Sweet Vermouth, Angostura and Peuchad's bitters and I haven't made a single on yet. This damn ice event down here is ruining things. lol All I do is work and sleep now.

This month's bottle is Rabbit Hole Rye. I haven't had any of their offerings so, if you've had any of Rabbit Holes wares, let me know what you thought of the it. Thank ya
