The big cheap bottles of bourbon

Hey Ruff I was doing a quick search for old Barton and stumbled across Ancient Age. Ever tried it? Super cost effective and comes out of the Buffalo Trace distillery. It's on my radar, surprised I never grabbed any before

Its good . It has a quick finish . One of the things I like about the Barton is the longer finish .Really , Ancient Age is a straight forward bourbon . Its good

Its one I have in the small bottles [ I call them flask size ] for the bar . To meet the " bar requirement " these flask sizes have to be in glass , not for any reason other than I have them there for variety . I figure I dont know what people like until I have a drink with them and I want to be able to offer a number of whiskies . I want it to pour out of glass is all because it feels right . The bar is going slow , btw .. lol .

I had a bottle of AA awhile back, and thought it was okay, but it didn't really grab me; I haven't bought another bottle since.

The Ancient Ancient Age 10 star is really really good and isnt pricey at all . After I get half way into a bottle of wild turkey 101 , Ill go snag another 10 star because it was wonderful

I would like to try some Ancient Ancient Age, but it's hard to find around these parts.

My wife like's Evan Williams Bonded for mixing with Coke, but the price on that one just keeps going up and up, so I grabbed a bottle of the new Old Crow 86 for her to try with Coke. Will report back someday...

Whoa , thats a new look !

Hey , have you tried Henry McKenna ? I get the big handle bottle for 20 bucks around here .. and its a glass bottle which I just like for some reason

So , Ive noticed that espresso martini are becomig super popular among the folks that gravitate to popular drinks . Im hoping the bourbon " rage " is closing down and then prices will drop . I loved when only bourbon drinkers were drinking bourbon , lol , because prices were reasonable . Lets cross our fingers that the , whomever the gee willikers they are , move on to the next thing
