A sampling of my samples...
Been curating some "bucket list" pours leading up to a pending milestone birthday!

I've recently started collecting, too - agree completely very fun but gets pricey.
I saw that metro Kum & Go's were putting some allocated stuff on the shelves today so went hunting over lunch. Ended up with a Caribou ($53) and Buffalo Trace ($27). They also are having a bourbon drawing on 5/31 and had entry boxes in about half the stores.
My favorite lately has been the Four Roses Single Barrel, bonus is it's decently affordable. Tried a buddy's Adictivo (their whiskey, not their tequila) recently and it was amazing - it's a bit pricier around $100, IIRC (if you can even find it).
That's pretty far up on my wish list. I scored a bottle of Weller CYBP a few months ago but haven't opened it yet.
If you're willing to share a glass of CYPB, I'd be happy to share the full proof. I've never seen CYPB in Iowa...or ever actually.
Not a fan of the port cask version, but the pricier rum cask version is worth every penny imo.Discovered Angel's Envy a while ago and enjoy it quite a bit. I drink more Fireball though
I have the rye, bourbon, American whiskey and sour mash and the sour mash is my favorite. I'd love to get my hand on a toasted barrel one sometime.
Be interested to hear thoughts on tasting notes for the Old Fitz 11 year. The 19 year is too oaky for my liking, the 17 year is just fantastic but haven't had the 11.
Lordy, you have some off-the-wall posts late night posts lately. And then people actually respond, which just encourages you. Sigh. I did not have whiskey (or whisky) and now am jealous.
I would love find an affordable 10yr michter’s some day.
My current bar display is of these four bottles (picture file size is too large to upload) that I rotate every 4 months or so. I’ll soon update with the stave display of Blanton’s toppers.
I pick up some nicer bottles here and there, but my go to brands for regular sipping are always Old Forester 100 and Jim Beam Black. I know JB gets a bad rap and probably deserved for the white label, but the Black is great on the rocks, I’ve had Blanton’s and Pappy, they just aren’t worth the money I have to pay in my area. There are a lot of good bourbons out there under $30.
I actually am a big fan of Speyside Scotch, in particular Aberlour. That is a good sipper or on the rocks.

I'm sure mine is the cheap one! Will have to check out the others so I can then decide they cost too much.
If you are ever in the Chicago area, i live in Schaumburg and can get it for a reasonable price in most of the big box liquor stores here. armanetis always has most of their offerings. And it’s not even on the top shelf.
