      @Jett129 I know it. Russell’s Reserve 10 has be my latest go-to but sometimes it’s nice to revisit the past regulars.

          @mclaincausey Managed to find it at a Total Wine about 20 miles from me. If I’m in the vicinity I’ll definitely grab a bottle. Like you said for $24.99

              Oh my bad, the grandad. I haven’t seen that one around here either.

                Oh—sorry @WhiskeySandwich didn't mean to ignore you. You figured it out though.

                I used to sip that one way back in the day and I think it’s time to take a trip down memory lane.

                    @WhiskeySandwich said in Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails):

                    I haven’t bought this McKenna since it was half the price, but this lone bottle was on the shelf next to Elijah Craig toasted barrel at the same price. I decided that a 10 year age statement BiB single barrel was the better choice.

                    Did not mean to do a quote, only had McKenna a couple time and enjoyed it very much. Pretty sure I have never had the one you just picked up, it sounds good.

                      Here is another straight rye that I love, it’s around 60 I believe. Lots of cinnamon notes on the finish

                          @TinMan The McKenna is currently being offered at MSRP at my local store and will most likely be my next purchase.

                            Granddad Bonded has that cinnamon thing too; high rye mash so it makes sense. I’ll have to try that one @TinMan

                              @TinMan Not even close. It was the Old Overholt Rye that I located about 20 miles from me.

                                    @Inorganic thanks, a lot of that stuff I had to wait far too long for. From my local spot who does waitlists at msrp only. That shot doesn’t show the whole collection (namely my Bookers), it used to be bigger but a full shelf leaves no room for more…

                                      @Jett129 iam not good at explaining taste, l always thought old overholt has a nuttish finish not almond maybe pecan like. Please let me know your impressions 25.00 a bottle is cheaper then I get it here good find!

                                      @WhiskeySandwich @mclaincausey, going check price at my local on some McKenna, rittenhouse, and Blantons, if available. Never had Blantons or rittenhouae I don’t think.

                                      @mclaincausey I also love trying anything straight rye or high rye mash! But my daily driver will always and forever be wild turkey 101. IMHO Such a classic bourbon flavor for such a great value.

                                        @WhiskeySandwich at least your local has a wait list thats very cool. KS, is strange when it comes to allocated bottles. I have yet to figure it out.

                                            Black Friday is a special day at my favorite local shop. They drop a number of harder to find bottles. Mind you, in my state, many things are hard to find. First come, first served, one bottle limit. But, you can get back in line to grab another. Here's today's haul...

                                            PXL_20231124_161641736.jpg

                                            The Booker's is this year's 3rd release, the Mighty Fine batch.

                                            As a side note, each bottle came with a raffle ticket for a bottle of Stagg. Drawing is later today. 🤞

                                            Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
