If you want a good primer on whiskeys, check out Jason Pyle's blog sourmashmanifesto.com. Great reading and he's an Egghead. He's near Nashville.

@CQuiz...good call on sourmashmanifesto.com. I just got sucked in for the last hour reading his reviews. Plus it turns out that he lives maybe 5 minutes from me. I probably walk right past him every time I go to the grocery store.Franklin, TNLarge BGE+PSWoo2

Single Barrel Jack Daniels, smoothest bourbon I've had.Tullahoma, Tennessee.

@canman If you're talking Tennessee Whiskey, you should give George Dickel Barrel Select a try. Delicious!

Very Old Barton is a nice bourbon and is so cheap that most people dismiss it. It is a great value and here in Indianapolis I can buy the 86 proof for $20 for a 1.75L. I always have it at my house and it can stand up to most $30 per fifth bottles.

WL Weller 12 yr $30 is the closed taste to Pappy. Another great choice us 4 Roses single barrel, both with a few drops of water, that's all!

@Griffin. ..home brew at Salado?Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN
-
@henapple it's a possibility. It'll be bottled by then, but can't guarantee it will be bottle conditioned enough. If not, I still have a mixed case of cervezas and a Blue Moon type brew. Next on the list is going to be a bourbon barrel porter, but I don't think I'll even sample one till Thanksgiving.

Ended up grabbing Wild Turkey 101 because it was $16. For some reason, alot of the "value" ones mentioned weren't as affordable the place I went. Makes a good manhattan IMO.Also tasted some Angel's Envy, that stuff is amazing!!!

+1 on the Bulleit for a great value. I just picked up a bottle of Breckenridge Bourbon and have been enjoying it. Above the $50 cap in the initial post but, since everyone is sharing their dreams of a bottle of Pappy, I thought I'd recommend it. Recently tried the Pappy 12 year at a bar in Chicago (the Gage) and thought it was great. Another place (Gilt Bar) has the 23 year, but it was more than I felt like paying for one drink.__________________________

I have tried a lot of the ones mentioned above and I would say that any of the Eagle Rare are the best value. For those of you who like Buffalo Trace, I would recommend it. The best way to describe it is that it's the Audi to Volkswagen.On a side note, my brother got me a bottle of Willett. Very smooth plus has a great looking bottle to sit on the bar.Large and Small BGECentral, IL

Well with the news today about Jim Beam and Makers Mark being sold to the Japanese, I am going to have to find a new brand, and have to clean out the booze cabinet.
It is a shame another American original is being sold to foreign interests.

Seeing Buffalo Trace mentioned a lot. If you like it, try the bourbon cream... crack in a bottle. It's the same concept as Baileys but uses bourbon instead of Irish whiskey. Goes great in coffee.

Just a joke- it's in one of their songs. On another note, went to Carnevino last night. The steaks were decent but they had all the Pappy's available through 23 year- how the hell do they get enough bottles to put it on their menus? I'm jealous but took advantage of the situation and had a couple.Greensboro, NC

Ah, got it.Picked up larceny. $14 for a fifth after rebate out here.I like the flavors alot but very sharp and higher wheat content than I prefer I think. I have more than enough whiskey now but loving it.

What do you think about the finish? It seems like it disappears. Great taste. But it doesn't linger.XL BGE; Schertz TX by way of Stow OH. #egghead4life

Knob Creek is my favorite but best value is Costco's 1L for $20 (Kirkland's Signature brand); 103 proof and similar to Knob Creek just not aged as long (7 yrs old vs. 9). Made by the same folks, same shape bottle, etc....Atlanta, GALarge BGE w/BBQ Guru & Compact Wood Table
