I wish more people would go the one backup route. Too many folks like to brag about how they have 4 cases of Weller and 2 cases of Eagle Rare (it’s always the Buffalo Trace stuff). If folks purchased a normal amount there would be no shortage and no need to hoard. Good on you Kurt.

I just started my bourbon journey, living in Canada there isn't a huge selection in smaller cities and of course the dollar difference being almost 40 cents, it ain't cheap. I just spotted 4 lonely bottles of Four Roses Single Barrel on the shelf for $58 CDN...that's about $42 USD right now...couldn't pass it up! First pour was a little hotter than what I started with (Old Forester 86 and Buffalo Trace) but I did enjoy the flavours, so onward I go . Love the channel guys! Cheers!

I saw the EW Single Barrel in Chicagoland for $36 recently. I was surprised to say the least and thought that they were bootlegged into the state. Good to know they have released it back to a larger market. I do like it and will continue to like it at $36. I'll leave it on the shelf for the New Riff though! Agree on the 4R......would love to see more variety! Cheers, great lineup!

Okay I am a female drinker of bourbon in a sea of female friends who are Chardonnay please. In California it is almost de riguerre. My favorites are: Blade and Bow.....super smooth Saint Alley Armagnac oh my goodness so many flavors and incredibly smooth. Bib and Tucker Double Char smoky and smooth. Brought a flask to the last get together of the Bib and the ladies who tried it drained the whole thing. Oh my....I told them its a sipping bourbon not to be used in a Manhatten. And I posted a review on Total wine which I have never done. Enjoyed your analysis. Will try one of those soon.

That Evan Williams SiB was $60 plus tax 2 years ago then Kentucky only now not back in my state but 90 minutes away always on shelf and $32. Heck yeah. One on bar and a back up on shelf is a standard now. John J Bowman now available in my region but used to live in VA and when I would go back I would always buy several to a case (last time store had hundreds). Now allocated so hard to get as an out of stater with limited time. Fortunately friends just pick up a bottle at a time and when I need any just pick up 3-5 from them. Love Knob Creek SiB.

I believe the Bourbon Junkies on a pick asked about the differences between the mass market and the special release Jack Daniel's SBBP rye and apparently, there is no difference in terms of recipes, rickhouse, or anything like that. The special releases were just particularly good barrels and a little older when they were released. The official Jack Daniel's line is that the everyday SBBP ryes on the shelf right now could have been special releases if they were a little older at the time. So don't overpay for the special release unless you absolutely must have it for your collection.

Just grabbed a Evan Williams single barrel for 32.99 in AK and our prices are usually worse than average. I think Trenton has some bad info. It is so good. Smooth as silk and the bitterness I find in some of their other products is replaced with a bright fruit flavor. It would be exceptional with another 10 proof on it.

For the price, its a really solid pour, easy to find and is a great mixer if it doesnt suit your pallet.

My setting was "Personalized" (uses an algorithm to show me *select* videos of SLB drinks) and an "All" setting (notifies me of *all* videos). I assumed when I clicked Subscribe I would get notifications of all, instead KZfaq set me to "Personalized").
