Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - The Bourbon Thread!!

Hell of a find. Haven't seen any bookers on the shelves for months, next time I see one near MSRP I'll be picking up regardless of the batch. Although I wouldn't be upset if all I could find are more Country Ham :dr

I need to start buying Bookers and Blantons (has some here and there but never followed them too much). Just picked up a bottle of ECBP (batch 519). Can’t really beat it at its price point (60-70)

Love the ECBP too Pete, every batch I have tried has been stellar.

Blanton's is tough to come by around here, but I managed to snag one from the recent shipment at a local grocery for $59.

Booker's is wonderful, especially the 130+ proof ones for me. There's still some 2019-03 (Country Ham) floating around, I highly recommend that one.

James, you should give the Single Barrel a try. It's around $45 here, and I like it even more that the SB.

Can find Blantons fairly easy in the Bay. I’ll keep my eye out for the high proof Bookers :tu

No affiliation, but Oak and Eden is offering free shipping on orders of 2+ bottles.

They only ship to certain states though, so your mileage may vary.

Thanks Bob. They don't ship to Illinois, but that is ok, as I generally don't like finished whiskeys.
