I'll be there for christmas for sure, and it looks like my wife will be there the week before Thanksgiving.

Oh, and Ryi 1 is pretty good and a bit off the wall, but Four Roses single barrel and Buffalo Trace are my go to's right now.

You pick it out and hit me up when your headed my direction and we'll meet up. I'll try anything once so surprise me. :tu

Very good for the price. In that price range, Buffalo Trace is my favorite.

I was just looking through ABC[Alabama Beverage Control] Liquor Price List and according to it I should be able to get Eagle Rare and (I assume you're meaning Red Stagg by Jim Beam?) in the ABC stores. I haven't been to the main store in my county in a few months but I'll go check it out.

Oh and the Eagle Rare it lists is Single Barrel.

+1...another great bourbon for sipping and mixing.
I drink a lot of Mint Julep during the summer.

Apparently the ABC store has started carrying a few more things since my last visit. Basil Hayden, Buffalo Trace. Top of the shelf was something called Booker T(I think turkey 101 has the memory right now) it was in a wooden glass top box price point of about $58 l again from memory anybody heard of this one?

As I recall, Booker being a Kentucky Bourbon. They used to have Batch Bourbons that were outstanding and could quickly knock you on your ass. If I recall, they were in the 120/125 proof range and fairly expensive. I don't know if Booker T is from the same company.

All bourbons are from Kentucky. Not sure about a Booker T, google shows no real results. My guess is it was Bookers. I like Baker's and Weller Barrel proof for the uncut, unfiltered bourbons. HIGH proof bourbons are my favorites 110+ proof is mostly all I like to drink.

Do NOT buy Jim Beam Red Stagg. Its a cherry flavored bourbon, not even cheap shot worthy.

When we say Stagg, we mean George T Stagg, from Buffalo Traces Antique Collection. Do a google search for it. Me and awsmith4 drank some last night (thanks again bro) and my GOD it will warm you from the core out. It is GOOD. :dr

The Eagle Rare is a 10 yr and is a very good bourbon. should cost around 35 or so and is worth it.

The others you listed, all pretty good, Basil Hayden I like when I want something milder. If you have any questions, shoot me a message before you buy, I can't in good conscience let a BOTL drink cherry flavored bourbon. :r

you may mean Bookers Noe. Did it come in a wooden crate type box with a plastic slide lid front? If so, it should be around 48 a bottle and is Cask Strength, meaning it has not been watered. This is why it costs more. This is a bourbon that is great for experimenting with. Seeing how water aids in blossoming. Add a few drops, try it. add a few more, try it again. Taste the difference. Add a cube, see how it changes. One of my favorites to get someone new to bourbon to decide how they like to drink it. Anything Cask, or Barrel strength can be done this way. I never recommend over rocks though, the ice will dilute too much. Try this...

First drink upon opening the bottle, pour straight and try it...if you like it, there you go.

If it's too strong, try a quick drizzle of good water. Try again. Still don't like it, add a cube, you should be good from there. You kinda get to be your own blend master.

That would be it wood box with plastic slide top. Don't worry I'm not going near the flavored stuff Now that we have Buffalo Trace I'll keep an eye out for the Antique Collection.:tu
