Liquor Acquisitions 2022

Hey gang, I'm going to be driving from St. Louis to Orlando for a little RandR. Any suggestions for bottles of whiskey or bourbon I should be on the lookout for and what kind of price I should consider. The people I will be with are NOT hunters so it will be bottles that are just more available, especially in Florida. Thanks for any suggestions. J

Joe, I took the time to plan a solution for you. When you get here, we can go grab a bottle.:cool:

These have all been recent acquisitions. I read on Breaking Bourbon, that Old Grand-Dad bonded was under-rated.

I am anxious to try Weller and Old Grand-Dad side by side to see if I can tell the difference in the the Weller wheat vs the Old Grand-Dad heavy rye.

I enjoyed the Weller and thought it was a good buy considering the Ohio price point of $23.

I have an opinion on which one is better. Would be curious to hear yours.

I am going to reserve my opinion until I do the comparison again. The Old Grand Dad was a new bottle and I want to let it open up a bit. With the Old Grand Dad, there was a dramatic difference in the smell between 30 second after the pour, and ten minutes after the pour.

In general, I enjoy the Weller.
 
Whats your take on Kirkland Bourbon ?

I once had some very old Dalmore (50 years ?) One of the family was an officer in the UK Army. Best Damn Scots Whiskey I ever sipped.
The Kirkland tequila is good. I’m less of a fan of anejo tequila and more of a fan of respodo tequila b/c I think anejo , we’ll you might as well just drink a light bourbon, it tastes so similar. I did not get the Kirkland bourbon but Bullitt rye is good stuff

Thanks. I have not ried their tequila. I had heard their bourbon was made by Makers Mark.
