Lets talk about Bourbon

I am actually friends with the lady responsible for the taste profile for Larceny. She is the only legally-approved bourbon taster in the state of Kentucky.
And the absolute best tour guide if you’re able to make it to the Bourbon Experience @ Heaven Hill in Bardstown, KY.
While I’ve had some bourbons I’d sell a kidney for (or maybe even a child, depending on bottle quantity 
) my hands-down favorite “daily” bourbon for great taste and even better bang-for-the-buck is Old Forester 100 proof.
Drink it neat or on the rocks for an extra kick, or when you’re mixing it’s still nearly 80 proof. Any doubters?

If Larceny is your favorite and you manage a trip to Bardstown, KY / Heaven Hill, ask if you can meet Tawnie Gootee. She is the absolute definition of a southern belle, and the one responsible for the taste profile of Larceny!
I found a 1.75 L bottle of Buffalo Trace at Meijer today. Never seen one before, so I grabbed it. Much better priced than the standard .75 L bottles, too.
One of my coworkers is raving about Wyoming Whiskey. Anyone tried it?
It’s just ok I’d keep it on the shelf many better offings from others at similar price.One of my coworkers is raving about Wyoming Whiskey. Anyone tried it?
Thanks. I guess I'll stick to BT as my primary go to.
If you ever try it, let us know how it is.

Knob Creek single barrel, cask strength, 10 years old, 126 proof. I’m generally not a huge Beam brands taste profile fan (although the Russell’s Reserve 10yr is really good!), but this one is pretty nice. It’s a special run for Indiana Liquor Group (hence the ILG on the label) so if you can find it, it’s worth taking one home.
I've never seen that one, but I do really like the KC 12 Year Small Batch.
I'm not sure I have ever had a KC but I have had the Bookers and I really like them. My bro-in-law has a bottle of KC (I forget which one) and I want to steal it! ;-)
