Well fuck you guys. I drink it myself.YellowSnow said:Pitchfork51 said:Basil Hayden's is the bitch ass version of old grand dad bib.
(I just don't think 80 proof is legit for bourbons)
I like the high rye mashbills
Four roses single barrel is usually pretty good as is any of the wild turkey offerings.
My go to bourbon is the turkey. Btw
Generally the tough thing about the higher prices bourbons is that either they are aged a long time which can be hit or miss depending on if it gets too oaky and out of balance, or they are cask strength level of lower priced ones which can be worth it to you or not.
Agreed on Basil Hayden. If they made it 92 proof then we'd be talking.Pitchfork51 said:Basil Hayden's is the bitch ass version of old grand dad bib.

There is a gin distillery south of Oakland (St. George) that does one with douglas fir. It's intense, but in a good way.

Eagle rare is my favorite value bourbon, but it's price is going up fast.
The only new entrant I know is Garrison brothers

Elijah Craig Barrel Strength, Eagle Rare, whistle pig, Blood Oath, Campfire from High West, Colonel Taylors.

Isn't high west an American Whiskey? Eagle rare is very nice for the price. Whistle pig is great but expensive.section8 said:Elijah Craig Barrel Strength, Eagle Rare, whistle pig, Blood Oath, Campfire from High West, Colonel Taylors.

They (High West) specialize mostly in rye, and like most of the boutique ryes out there, they bought barrels from a distiller in Indiana that used to make the rye for Segrams. Their Double Rye is fantastic though. I might give the Whistle pig a try and have been temped by this one.DeepSeaZ said:

I really glad to see a lot of love here for Eagle Rare as the best the "Value" bourbons. 10 year old stuff at $30 - $35 a fifth is a great value indeed. But as some have pointed out there's starting to be a bit of a scarcity issue of cheaper well aged bourbons. Stupid millennial hipsters. -
