Nikka from the Barrel or Nikka Coffey?
This week’s pickup
Trying this one for the first time. Pretty good!
Break even for $2. Well worth the pour!

Four Roses Small Batch or Single Barrel. Eagle Rare.
Eagle rare is under $40 in CA.
Can’t go wrong with Woodford Reserve
🦃
This is the right answer 💯
Mitchners, eagle rare, buffalo Trace,
Larceny Barrel Proof
Basil Hayden
Woodford Reserve (double oak if you catch it on special)
Four Roses Small batch
Four roses small batch select is in my top 3. Love it. Had it for the first time at the distillery in KY on a bachelor party tour.
Bulleit
Bulleit is a gateway bourbon. It’ll introduce you to other great bourbons but is really only something I use for mixers with guests.
These 3 and Eagle Rare
Early Times bottled-in-bond, one of the best bangs for your buck you can get out there.
Agreed! I’m always a little surprised it doesn’t get the hype it deserves.
Pro
-Buffalo Trace
-Woodford Reserve
-Makers Mark 101
-Russell’s Reserve 10 yr
-Wild Turkey 101 (punches way above the price, IMO)
-4 Roses Single Barrel
And last but not least, Old Forester 100 proof. It’s high availability and should be under 30 even in CA. If you haven’t tried it, you absolutely should.

It is suspected that it’s 15-20% rye but they don’t disclose.
Four Roses, Makers Mark, Woodford. Almost bourbon Gentleman Jack
Spend an extra 15-20 and get four roses small batch select. It’s a relatively new product (within the last 2 years) and is Brent Elliot’s first addition to the line up. Costs ~$65 and I think it holds its own against bourbons in the $250 price range. If $50 is a hard cap, as others have suggested, go with the normal four roses small batch.
It’s a great pour. I’m into a bottle now and will likely grab another this weekend when out.
I’m going to get a lot of hate for this.
Depending on how you’re going to drink it: Old Bardstown.
I think it’s the poor man’s Willet and delicious in an Old Fashion.
