What is your “go to” bourbon for an average holed up night? Weller 107 Antique is mine. Limited supply here keeps me hunting so I don’t run out. I have been looking for over a year for a bottle of Weller 12 year and can’t get it. If anyone can hook me up with a bottle I would appreciate it.

I’m easy and cheap
4 roses is my grab in/out
I’m always entertained by these threads, go buy something that a campfire hero recommends. It costs $80 and tastes like cigarette butts were soaked in it.

I dont know where Wild Turkey is made, but I like it for the value.
Old Granddad BIB is another good value.
I am MAGA.

No Weller available in Florida other than the base product, ‘Weller Reserve’. I am having that as we speak. My favorite is Old Fitzgerald, which is not sold in Florida. Last year, DVDGeorge hooked me up with a rare bottle of 11 year old bottled in bond. I am forever in his debt, and would take a bullet for him any day. 😜

Any number will do fine......
Buffalo Trace when I can find it Bulleit Russel's Reserve 10 year Wild Turkey 101 Eagle Rare 10 year
Right before the state closed our liquor stores, I stocked up on Elijah Craig Small Batch. I'm content.

That's a decent bourbon but I won't hunt it down or pay more than $40 for it. In fact, on principle I won't buy any Buffalo Trace products due to their allocation nonsense. My go to and what I prefer to support is the Wild Turkey products because they are very tasty and a good value and they don't play games with their customers. Both Russell's Reserve Single Barrel and Rare Breed are wonderful whiskies, available and at fair prices. Wild Turkey 101 is an excellent daily pour. Since I'm holed up due to the virus, I've popped a couple really nice bourbons; WB Saffel and Hillrock Estate Solera Bourbon, both wonderful stuff. The last Weller Antique I purchased I paid $30 for it and thought that was what it was worth.

I'm with you and also really like the Old Forester bourbons and like Old Granddad 114. Old Forester 1920 is a favorite.

I’ve got 1/2 bottle of WT rare breed in my cabinet.
It’s one of my “tastes like a cigarette butt” mentions
Who knows maybe I have a brain tumor. I should pour it down the crapper but maybe when I get old and retarded, I’ll enjoy it.

I like Jefferson's Reserve, finished in old rum casks. I also like Angel's Envy, finished in port wine barrels. I save these two for special occasions.
For normal functions, Basil Hayden's from Costco is tough to beat. It goes on sale, pretty regularly, for less than $30 a bottle.
Thoroughly enjoying Alaska since 2001.

I'm not a fan of bourbon. But the Beam family has been rooted in the bourbon business for quite some time. https://whiskymag.com/story?booker-noe
