Is Springfield too far? May want to try this place. Quite a good selection.

About $30.

"Deep amber color. Highly polished aromas of creamy vanilla, pickling spices, and buttery pralines. A delicate, silky entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body of honeyed grain, sweet baking spice, vanilla bean, and pralines. Finishes with a long, rich fruity caramel, peppery spice and mineral accented fade. A elegant sipping or mixing bourbon."

The Liquor Barn down the road had a sale on Bacardi Gold ($14/handle) so I'll be drinking the that for a while.

Yeah, I always get a laugh out of these ridiculous descriptions as well. Some are helpful but some are just overboard.

Web, have you ever tried Crystal Head Vodka? I couldn't remember if you said you were or weren't a vodka person.

Not generally a vodka person. Usually just in mixed drinks. I do whiskey.

Stoli and Sunny D right now.

When this bottle is done, I'll move on to the Smirnoff 100 in the freezer.

I don't know about all that. It is only about $28 a fifth and is my go to bourbon. If I could describe it out of that jumbled mess it would probably be "peppery spice and mineral accented fade."

Depends, on price and what you are looking for.
I like the 46, but just neat, or with an ice cube. It has a richer flavor, that doesn't make sense to really mix, unless it is a Manhattan. If you are going with that, then grab it for the price. It is usually a good amount more expensive.
But, for mixing, and just a good, solid, bourbon, go with the Maker's regular.


As to me, I bought a bottle of Eagle Rare last weekend, will dip into it later. That has become my recent go to. Pretty solid, nice price, and rich flavor.

Thanks. What's the price difference between the 46 and regular?

Either Maker's is for sipping. Please, if you are going to mix, buy a bottle of Jack Daniels or something.

Grab the 46 if you can. $35-40.

Yeah, I already have a full bottle of JD. I'm talking about sipping. How much is the regular? Between $25-$30?

Repot back how that is. I've been wanting to go for a while now, but I wasn't sure where the best places to stay. How the drives between the places were.

We are staying with friends who live right about in the middle. Furthest east is about 40 miles, and furthest west is about 30 miles. Taking 2 days to see them all. Can't wait.
