The classics are classic for a reason. @Jett129 thats an obtainable botttle and truly a marvel at its price point unless things have changed.
-
@mclaincausey Unfortunately the liquor stores that I frequent and have access to all carry the same mundane brands. When I travel I like to pop into local liquor stores in hopes of finding something like that on the shelves. Not sure if it’s a function of what’s available in my locale,or just not what’s the most profitable for them ,or a combination of both.

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.

@WhiskeySandwich You’re preaching to the choir. I’ve gotten tired of getting gouged on bourbon bottles that I used to get for a fraction of their current price. Been drinking and enjoying a lot more agave based spirits because of that. I think that Eagle Rare that I last was able to purchase at $34.99 was one of the best values in bourbon. These days,you’re lucky to find it for less than $60 a bottle. I could go on and on. Don’t even get me started on the Van Winkle 12 year rye.

That’s crazy it’s a mainstream Beam / Suntory product so I’d expect it to be everywhere. It’s worth a try especially at its <$30 price point
Think it, be it.

@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 which one?
-
@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
-
yayayaya! enjoy. Seriously good for that kind of cash, at least these days.
-
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.

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.

@WhiskeySandwich love me the colonel EH, that’s one bottle I always look for and never find it where I live. I might drive to the distillery I here they will let you get limit one maybe two.
-
Granddad Bonded has that cinnamon thing too; high rye mash so it makes sense. I’ll have to try that one @TinMan
-
My go to even for sazeracs is Rittenhouse but I love trying any rye
Think it, be it.
