Bourbon aficionados- anyone familiar with these?

I stopped in to a small liquor store in my area and brought home a few early Christmas presents. Anyone tried them? The guy said they were hard to get.

Elmer T. Lee is a good pour. Usually goes for around $30 when it is in stock, but has been MIA quite a bit.

Apparently BT has several labels that are in short supply besides PVW. I wonder if their efforts to increase production will ever come close to matching demand.

I'm a fan of the col Taylor. The single barrel is not rare in my neck of the woods, and usually finds its way in every now and then.

Agree with Cali on Col Taylor. I have a bottle of the single barrel, it's really nice.

never had the Lee

I'm working my way through a bottle of the col Taylor rye currently. Good stuff.

This place had the rye and small batch too. May have to try them all.

The EH Taylor Small Batch is one of my favorites. You can pick it up in PA (when they have it in stock) for $37 or so. I haven't found a better value yet. I've had the Single Barrel as well and liked it but didn't see much upside over the Small Batch (I think I paid +/- $60 for the Single). I opened a bottle of the Taylor Barrel Proof (127.5) last night. Unfiltered and very potent but had basically the same character.
