Gotta say that it is kind of sad to see the corporate gobble up of all those bourbons. I guess it is a trend everywhere, but lately I am more interested in whiskey from Japan, Scotland and Ireland by independent producers. For as long as that lasts.

Over the past couple of years I have become really fond of Basil Hayden. At your better bars it is also less expensive then most of the Scotch. I prefer a Basil Hayden on the rocks with a splash of mineral water.

I can't seem to find the bonded bottles anymore. At $20, they were my go-to travel buddies. Thanks for the heads-up on Old Tub. Probably going to find a bottle of it today.

Went out to dinner this weekend at an Italian restaurant. Food itself ended up being mediocre but they had William Larue Weller behind the bar(not sure what specific year -- presumably 2022, this restaurant opened in 2022 and given how NC ABC regulates Bourbon it's unlikely to be older). Decided just to ask how much a pour was because that is a unicorn bourbon for me big time. Turned out it was $21 (vs. glass of red wine was about $16-18 so very reasonable) and they gave me a very healthy pour (not a 1oz thimble you get for unicorn bourbons at a lot of places).
Holy cow what a fantastic bourbon. If I ever get selected in the NC ABC lottery (unlikely but you never know), that is going to be at the very top of my list of selections |
Forgot about this thread. Need more bourbon...
...oh wait, here's some:

That's an amazing find at a shockingly low price. Selling WLW at $21 per shot opens that restaurant up to the risk of violating its liquor license as patrons order 3-5 shots to go. I know I would!

It's nice to see bars selling pours at standard margins rather than marking up based on secondary value. Finding places like this is my favorite way to try allocated/high end bourbon, rather than chasing bottles.
