If your dad is a bourbon drinker it's a great gift if you want to spend the money.

I got a bottle of Heaven's Door to see what the fuss was all about. Also got some Michter's Rye and a bottle of 1796.

Seeing as your a AE drinker and I love it also, let me know how the Heavens Door is. Im curious about it too.

Conclusions of that research were obvious, unquestioned. Will enjoy the benefits.

I went to a place in Arlington during a road trip in 2019. I had bought a bottle of Wellers, a bottle of Angel's Envy and a bottle of Very Old Barton. It came to a little over $100. When I checked out I asked about Blanton's. The lady said, "Oh, we have it in the back. We sell it to people who spend at least $100. Bingo. She charged $69. A tad high, but I was willing to pay it.

I also love Jefferson's Ocean. It's expensive ($75-$85). I had football SID Josh Brunner and his girlfriend to the house a couple of weeks ago. Josh and I killed an entire bottle. Replaced it yesterday on my trip to Champagnes.

I gave it a try. I'd drink it again, but not at that price. It is, at best, a $30 bottle in my opinion.

If you're going to spend that much, get a bottle of AE.

Do any of you live in the Baton Rouge area. I'm going to be there Tuesday and might want to do a little shopping. Any suggestions on where to go for bourbon selection?

Tried a sample at the store a couple weeks ago. Very smooth. I ended up purchasing a bottle of Bulleit Blenders Select. After tasting the Bayou Rum, I had think twice about not picking up a bottle of it.

I'm a fan of the Bayou Rum Select. I think the Nunu's selected is smoother.

Just picked up a bottle of sazerac rye. Great stuff. I like the stout back side flavor. But then again I'm a rye vodka person also.

Try a bottle of Sagamore Rye, Total Wine or Speck’s has it. Champagnes was able to get the cognac aged, not my flavor. Also Bulleit Rye handle at Champagnes is $39.00, wont find it cheaper. For higher dollar Colonel Taylor or Willet Rye are solid, James E. Pepper Rye is great at around $35 a 1/5th.

Sazeracs require good rye. I absolutely love me some Sazeracs.
