Which Bottles Should I Add to My Bar?

[lucasbuck]

My local just got a bunch of new bourbons that won’t last long. Other than the Bookers I have not tried any of these. Any ones you like here?

Bookers isn't a terrible price. Jefferson Single barrel is good. I don't like anything WhistlePig so I won't talk about them. I know a lot of guys like that double double oaked Woodford but DAMMIT that's a lot of money. I can buy a double oaked and an aging barrel for cheaper

Yeah I’m out on the Woodford and I’m a fan of some of their more reasonably priced stuff. Very rarely spend much more than a hundred on a bottle. As an example of my thrifty bottle shopping I’ve been waiting years to try the Nick Offerman Lagavulin because the srp is ridiculous. Just finally snagged a bottle on a half price sale for $45.

Which Offerman Edition was it. I've really liked all the ones I've had. 45 is a steal!

This is probably counter to cigars, which I relax to enjoy with music and a drink.

But I've discovered that at my age spending BIG$ on good booze is a waste of money. Basically, I'm saying I'm a lush, and I'll start downing the good stuff with reckless abandon after two drinks. And not remember it or enjoy it.

Basically, I'll pay up for cigars, but stay in the middle lane on booze. Cheaper that way. lol

I keep some good stuff for when my son in law or guests are here. But I'll go with a good cigar and cheaper booze every time when it's just me.

I guess I'm saying I practice Irish Yoga.
