If not GTS, them just switch to potato vodka.
quote:Ditto for Elijah Craig 12, Weller 12, Elmer T Lee, or Willett Pot Still. Elmer T Lee's a little harder to find on the western side of the Metroplex but the others can be found with little trouble.
Craft Beer is making me fat...
What's a good sipping Bourbon to get started on? Something not cheap but also not outrageously priced. Somewhere in the extra medium price range.
quote:Here is where I started: Basil Haydens, Eagle Rare 10, Buffalo Trace, E.H. Taylor Small Batch, Makers 46. I think anything from Buffalo Trace is a safe bet. I'd suggest starting with something (relatively) easy to find, affordable, and avoid anything that says barrel proof (or similar on it) until you get more into it.

Bought a bottle on a whim. Meh. It's become my "I want something to mix to make a drink with" bottle. If I had one of those fancy barrels to age it in it would be a candidate to toss in for 3 months or so as it couldn't hurt it.
quote:You're not alone in not seeing W12 on any shelves. I asked a mgr. at Specs - Midtown and he said they haven't received any bottles for several months because of the poor-man's-pappy recipe.
I see regular Weller 90 proof on label every where but hardly the 12yr
big difference between the two?

I haven't been able to find the Weller 12 anywhere. So not only can you not find Pappy you can't even find the stuff to make the poor man's pappy! Is there a recipe for a homeless man's pappy?
quote:Yep, there's been a shortage lately. I've been having to travel around to find the 12 and the antique. Haven't seen both in the same store for a while now.

Is Breckinridge any good? I'm in Denver for work (here once a month) and I see it all over. I'll try it eventually but they're pretty proud of it...

Bookers (add ice)
Willett Pot Still
Those are ones you'll find in the store.
