Great value bourbon...
« Reply #-1 on: January 03, 2014, 10:12:04 PM »
... WL Weller Special Reserve 7 year and Old Weller Antique 107 Proof - Buffalo Trace distillery.  As is likely with most whiskey aficionados, we are ever in the quest for excellent spirit at an excellent price.  On a tip I obtained on another forum, we tried the WL Weller Special Reserve 7 tonight, and it is stellar.  It is a budget bourbon typically found for $10-$16, but in my humble opinion, is one of the best bourbons I have sipped in a while.  This distillery is the same that produces Pappy Van Winkles.

My wife surprised me by coming home with all the local liquor store had in it's inventory - what a great gal I have


Sipping some right now...

I will look for that but with the Alabama liquor stores being controlled by the state, we don't get a lot of the brands other states do. What size bottle is that price? Seems like a real low price, but again all liquor is high here.

We're State run only as well, which limits our selection as well. The bottle is a regular 750, which makes this the best bang for my buck that I have encountered in a long time.

I have to drive into TN or SC to get any real selection beyond the obvious handful of large market brands. NC is an ABC state as well ( State run Alcoholic Beverage Commission stores only) the the prices are crazy expensive as well as limited choices.

Out here there is a liquor store every 30ft!

And each bottle gets a lovely small paper bag to wrap tightly around for concealed public drinking :P

I don't know how you guys drink bourbon, to me it smells like turpentine. Dated a girl in the states that drank bourbon and after a couple of drinks I couldn't kiss her as the smell just gross me out. Needless to say she never became one of the family.  ;D ;D ;D

Well there is bourbon, then there is whiskey and whisky. I would kiss any woman and lick the lips of a woman who was drinking any of them. There is a reason they call it the "water of life".
