From the Pappy family. Outstanding and reasonably priced.

Last time I had Wild Turkey was in Ann Arbor as a senior. Such evenings were promptly entitled by my associates as "wrestling with the big bird". I am not surprised that the base bourbon has been downvoted on this thread.

Henry McKenna. 10 year. great bourbon and only goes for about $31.
Plus no one has suggested any of the wheat based bourbons. Bernheim 7 year is probably the easiest to find.
Weller and Old Fitzgerald VS 12 year are both real finds.

Great and goes for 27-30
Hard to find here in Ohio.

Around 42 again if you can find it.
Restaurants and Bars have the best luck. Usually a $8 dollar pour. Try them out. You’ll only be sorry they are so hard to find.

Bourbon fans, have a listen to this Criminal podcast on Pappy's. It's a good listen (and Criminal is one of the best podcast's out there).

Always love a new podcast suggestion.

New Holland's Beer Barrel Bourbon. They use the same barrels they use for their Dragon's Milk Stout, swapping back and forth every cycle. It's only about $30 but I prefer it to any of the more expensive bourbons I've had.

Knob Creek single barrel 100 proof. Even the hint of creme broulee comes through. About as good a "sippin' Bourbon" as there is in the +/- $40.00 price range. Serve with a little water on the side or over ice.

will be glad to get a bottle of Woodford Reserve. It won't bust your stones to either find or buy.
Just good sipping whiskey.
Angels Envy or the Eagle Rare work for me, both are more obtainable at the better stocked liquor stores around here lately.

Smoky with a Kerosene finishing note.
December 24th, 2017 at 8:12 PM ^
The other is Founders Dirty Bastard scotch ale.

I called a few places for Weller 12 year and was basically laughed at. Is it that difficult to find in Metro Detroit?
