I've had my share of Gentleman's Jack lately.

Thanks for the link, I'll definitely keep my eye out for some of those.
A couple I've already been looking for.

I'm really liking the Booker's small batch I picked up recently. ~ $60

It's a bullshit list if 40 Creek isn't on it.

Of those I've had Blantons. It's what turned me into a whiskey drinker.

Personally I think Wild Turkey 101 is one of the best balanced whiskys within a normal mans budget. Have a brand new bottle in my cabinet now. I like that the list isn't full of $500 snob juice.

Of those, I think I've only had Makers 46. Pretty decent, but I think there are better drinks out there for the price.

Woodford's Double Oaked blows it away, imho. Not cheap, but damn good!

Any new whiskey I try, I have it neat first. If I do decide to dilute it, I only use a single ice cube (filtered water) and vary the pour accordingly.

I have a bottle of Blantons in my bar now. I noticed that Elija Woods didn't make the list.

I'm going to have to try the others on the list. Probably can't get some of those at Bev Mo. Ahhh but a drive to the 'Duke of Bourbon' in the San Fenando Valley will be quite rewarding.

Four Roses Small Batch - Check.
Blanton's - Check.
Old Forester - Check.
Woodford Reserve - Check.
Maker's and Maker's 46 - Check.

Blanton's and Four Roses are probably my favorites that are affordable. Though I'll drink Jack, Jim Beam, or whatever when I go out and do a bourbon/coke kind of thing. If I'm drinking it straight, I'm going with the good stuff.

Ironically, it took a rum produced in Tennessee for me to like drinking bourbon/whiskey straight or on the rocks. Their private stock Rum is ridiculously good (and I DO NOT LIKE RUM!). They do have a bourbon, but until they are doing it all themselves, I'm holding off on it.

Currently, I have Jack, Wild Turkey 101, Makers Mark, Four Roses, and some Blanton's in my cabinet. Sometimes the choices are just too tough. I got the WT101 as a dirty santa gift. Even better!

Local restaurant next to the train station has a great deal for happy hour.

Ribbon and Roses - a PBR and. Four Roses Yellow Label (four finger pour) for $5

They have other combos but that is the one I do the most.
