Thanks and yes. I think $32 or so for 750ml. I like Knob Creek and have it out, but it seems I reach for Old Forester 100 at $24 or less when I am standing in the liquor store. I need to get back to Clermont and do that distillery tour!
A big old bottle of Dewar’s White Label.

1.75 of Weller Special Reserve for $43 and tax. Surprised it made it behind the counter at ABC.
The British Ale invasion
Big spender! I go for EW BIB for a 1.75 at a little over $22. That said, I love OF.
Just had a look, the OF100 goes here for 70.00…
I only recognize the Samuel Smith. Some of the best beers I’ve ever tasted from from them.

I have to give EW BIB a try...
It is a solid everyday whiskey at a very fine price. Their 1783 is my other one.
Picked up something for me and something for the wife.
It's certainly worthy to try out. I like all of EWs bourbon. Even the dirt cheap black label tastes OK. I also like Wild Turkey 101. I tend to go cheap to low-mid grade with bourbon. I will spend more on single malt scotch. Of course you have to spend more, even for bottom shelf, so there's that. Still, I'm not above dropping the change for a bottle of talisker. Rare occasion that happens these days though.
Recently picked up a bottle of Woodford reserve double oak. I will most likely have a sample as a reward for completing another dry January. Also thought I should try wild turkey 101. So I got a bottle of that as well.
First acquisition of 2023.
New Holland Dragons Milk bourbon. Neat this definitely has a beer finish on the palette. It’s alright if that’s your sort of thing. Neat how they did that, I’m just not a beer aficionado.
Glad I went with the half size bottle!
Really good in an old fashioned though!
