Recommend me a whiskey

I can find the 12yr old for $599 May have to fork up the extra $50 for it. The 10yr old is running about $549 that I can find

Ouch. I could have had the 23 year old for $500, but the wife would kill me.

Boone county was solid. Completely different level.

Don’t know if I’ll ever make it past a amateur bourbons- haha.

Pappy is too rich for my blood, but I'd be more than happy to help you drink it. I'm just a simple KY Pappabear that feels like I splurge when I buy a bottle of Elija Craig. I tried a cheap bottle of a Two Stars the other day, very smooth, I hear its the wheat in it. Not too complex but smooth. I like most of the common fodder, Makers Mark, Buffalo, Woody Reserve. Knob Creek bites me a little hard.

This thread is going to make me feel reasonable about splurging for a Christmas bottle in the $100 range. What should it be? For those who did this sort of thing often.

Makers 46 is my favorite overall. Woody Reserve is also very good. I just tried some Jefferson Ocean Aged and its very good! Pappy is really way out of my league also. I can dream though and one day I'll probably have a total brain cramp and plop down the money for a bottle. I'll have to hide it from the wife though. She knows about Pappy and if she saw the bottle I don't think I'd be alive to drink it.

Pappabear,
This might just be up your alley. Elijah Craig barrel proof was just named whiskey of the year. I have not tried it myself but is getting excellent reviews. And it's only about $65 IIRC.
ETA: I just checked and it's $58 @ total wines.

Single barrel is different than small batch, correct? Im just finishing a large bottle of the small batch and absolutely love it.

Not single barrel but rather "Barrel Proof". And yes, it is not the same as small batch. This is a step up from small batch.

Maybe someone already suggested this but Eagle Rare single barrel ten year is good.

Also is priced right about $32.

One of may favorites and only available in limited quantities this time of year in that price range is High West Midwinter Nights Dram. A superb bourbon. Usually found for between $80.00-$90.00 per bottle.

Notes of fig, tobacco, vanilla, rye bread and toffee. It's one of my all time favorites.
