The Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Maker's Mark and others. Excellent tour. I highly recommend it. My mother's people made their own liquor for God knows how many generations. Served time for it, got shot over it and shot others. I've run it up north. Both legitimate distilleries and the small operations around Corbin, Barboursville and further south are part of our history that most won't talk much about; especially the illegal traditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going by what a co-worker told me last week. He was just out in Scottsdale and said the hotel he was at was serving Pappy at $50/shot. Granted, it's Scottsdale and a resort hotel so that's already cranking the price up there quite a bit. I guess they had Lois XIII as well.

Even Williams is pretty good. Bulliet and Jim Beam Black are also good ones for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks..have to check that out. I bought some Elijah Craig for ~$20 the other day. ... Meh! Eagle Rare is much better for ~$33 (as it should be), and made by Buffalo Trace like the Van Winkle stuff.

DAC Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 In the $35 range, I have tried several and generally like Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select the best. Knob Creek is second and Four Roses is also good. This is all "palate of the beholder" stuff, though. But if you keep buying EW in between the others, or try it along side, the bang for the buck becomes obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 If you haven't tried Maker's 46, put it on your list. I doesn't really taste like regular Maker's, which I also like, but I would mosdef buy again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
