New addition at #5, Evan Williams White Label (50% ABV). Amazingly rich and complex for the price (36 Canadian dollorz). I rarely sip neat bourbon these days but this thing is just calling for it. No need to tame the high ABV with water, it's perfect as is. Very impressive.

I ought to do some rearranging at the top of the list. Both Maker's Marks are due to drop a little just based on their climbing prices.

This is a value-biased list.
 
I drank a half a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch on Saturday night. Didn't feel so well today.

:mrquincy:


You have FR Small Batch too far down the list, btw. Time for a re-tasting, MattyBallz.
 
Possibly. Have you had FR Single Barrel? It *kills* both the regular and small batch.
 
I've had it. I actually like them in this order:

Small Batch
Single Barrel
Standard
 
Inneresting. Maybe I just got lucky with my bottle.
 
I've been meaning to get another Elijah Craig bottle.

Also the tastiest stuff I've had is this:

very nice for the price ~$25
don't confuse with forty creek, that shit is awful
 
Received a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 12 year yesterday. Going to drink some right before the Derby.

Had a little last night. Major notes of vanilla with a strong finish. I can see why this bourbon is a must own.
 
Fuck you Caspy! Unobtainium in Canada.

Why unavailable in Canada?

Come to NY and have a drink.

I have 3 people that are going to have a snort of it w me today.

I found Fighting Cock in a store for the 1st time. Very nice:clapper: seems like a steal for $18.
