Another good bang for your buck on bourbon is Booker's IMO.

Been out of the whiskey loop for a bit, but this was a solid go to.

This will put some hair on your chest.

How many deep are you? It's only 6:30.

Saying fancy old farts about whiskey and then asking about cigars like you are some aficionado is about the most faggot thing I have seen here outside of you posting about your cat.

Sounds like you have a bug up your ass. You are more than welcome to never talk to me again. Thanks.

No doubt man. Usually about 120 proof, but always so freaking caramely. When I was in college I’d always sell my books back right after finals (usually $200-$300), buy a bottle of Booker’s, take myself out to a baller dinner, then blow whatever was left at the bars that night.

Yeah, I remember my first drink. I was a regular a long time ago when I lived in Corona at an Irish pub. Some dude from out of town on business. Him and I get to chatting and he brings up Bookers. Told him I never had it and he ordered us some neats.

Thought it was always unique that they hand wrote the ABV on the bottle because it varied bottle to bottle. I think I have seen it as high as 156 proof.

It's been awhile, but the last time I had it the drink tasted like gasoline and was on the heavier side opposed to the smoothness I remembered.

But a good bottle I like to throw in every now and then. I think it's only $50-$60 a bottle. I got on a Blanton's kick and just trying to find it, but Bookers is a solid go to. Good bourbon.

I remember the very first cigar I smoked. My friend bought them at a local drug store for like $2 for four of them. I was 17 and the experience still haunts me. It was like smoking a dog turd

It has doubled in price in the past two years. I remember getting it on the regular at Costco for $50. If you like the barrel proof stuff try the Old Forester 1920 Prohibition style.

I thought I heard this because of supply and demand. How much is a bottle running now?

I haven’t bought a bottle in years, but remember seeing it at my local store for like $65 two years ago. I thought to myself “that seems high... probably just midtown KC pricing.”

Speaking of Maker’s. My Costco had a limited release that’s 101 proof. Just picked it up last night so I’ll give it a try this weekend

Nice let us know if it’s any good.

Finally got around to opening it up. It’s just normal Maker’s but higher proof

Tonight’s pour. I’m convinced anything that Buffalo Trace produces is good stuff

I picked up Whistlepig 10yr rye earlier today. Been sipping on it since after dinner. Wow, its really good. 

The place i got it at has a Bookers too, which I've never had but heard through a few of you that it's excellent. Might have to pick it up on Saturday. 

Merry Christmas, y'all.

That not only seems expensive, but I’m sure it would annoy the bar owner, too since he’d have to clean up after you.

I’ve been impressed with the Whisky Row series from Old Forester. I found this one at a liquor store in Escondido. I already have their 1910 and 1920 bottles so just the 1870 is left for me to acquire. So far the 1910 is the best one

This is the first time I’ve been able to find any of the Weller’s on the shelf (for retail price). At $27 I was excited
