    I'm usually a single malt kinda guy but lately been venturing out into trying some Bourbons. I've tried some Elijah Craig, Four Roses, Eagle Rare, and Bulleit. If any of you guys have any favorites, please let me know as I'm building up my Bourbon collection. :D

    I've got one for you: Henry McKenna's single barrel, 10 year aged bourbon.
    For the quality, the price is an insane deal. I'm afraid that might have changed though, as we used to be able to pick up a bottle for significantly less than most similar bourbons, but last time I tracked one down it was no longer priced so competitively, and I ended up buying something cheaper.
    Still, look out for it in your area and maybe it'll be cheaper?

    I'll have to keep a look out for it. Thanks. I just did a search. Is it the one with a green label running for around $100? If it is, I'll probably get
    one before the new year. :D

    I've always been a "well bourbon on the rocks in a well-worn bar". As it
    turns out, I can't play pool unless I'm at the 500 Club in San Francisco and have had 1 or 2 of said bourbons. I've had a bottle of Jim Beam in the
    liquir cabinet for seasoning nog and for when the urge strikes.

    I'll need to try a nicer bourbon this holiday season and see what happens.

    I'll be out bourbon shopping today. :D Need something to warm up to during these chilly nights. If they have it in stock, I'll be looking for a "Four Roses" bottle to commemorate the recent death of it's long time bourbon ambassador, Al Young.

    It is, but that's a high-ass price. When I was complaining, it was $76. It
    used to run like $34-45!

    Damn, it used to go for $34-45? What??? If I could find it for $76 here in
    Cali I'll definitely get it.

    Rare, and Bulleit. If any of you guys have any favorites, please let me

    The only one I've found I like is Bulleit Rye. I guess I just prefer the dry spicy burn compared to a standard bourbon. Makes sense since I like my beer bitter.

    I love Bulleit too. I like both the Rye and Standard version. Another great bourbon that I tasted recently Longbranch by Wild Turkey.

    Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with that. From poking around online, I'm
    guessing you can still get it for that cheap at some places. I think Total
    Wine might have a decent price on it, assuming you guys have those down there.

    Bulleit is pretty good. Buffalo Trace is another highly available cheapy I sometimes pick up.

    We do have a Total Wine store here in Cali. I'll have to go check it out. A friend of mine told me to try out Angel Envy, Booker's Cask Strength, and
    Four Roses Single Barrel too. Have you tried any of these?

    Yep, I used to get Four Roses every now and then. Never tried the other two,
    as far as I recall.

    Oh, and I don't know how ANY of their stuff is, but I've heard the Kirkland Signature stuff at Costco is an amazing value for what it is. All of their store brand liquor is made by other big distillers and in some cases, some are much more prestigious then you might guess and a total steal for the price. Check into those if you haven't already.

    Kirkland's got some good ones. I've tried the the vodka and silver tequila.

    Yeah, though the reviews are incredibly mixed. Every reviews site you visit LOVES some, raving about what a great deal that are, and thinks others are mediocre trash, and which is which is different at every single site. :)

    I get accused of being Canadian sometimes when ordering it but I prefer Rye also and I was going to suggest this exact one in another thread. Good call.
