We found Peerless has their bourbon out on shelves now. Had visited their place in Louisville 2 xmas's ago, really liked their rye, and they had a little while before their first bourbon since re-opening the distillery would hit shelves. It's a bit hot at like 110, but really smooth.
In the "hot and smooth" category, also have this Nikka (Japanese) "From the Barrel" that drinks extremely smooth and is dangerously hot.
Lastly, I'm sure this isn't news to most but I have discovered so wanted to share, Old Granddad 1144 is a fantastic cocktail bourbon. Made blackberry smashes for the wife last night and she was all over it.

Have a line on some Blantons (regular) from a liquor store new friend. Have to be there early Tuesday morning and it's $80?!?.
Not sure if I'll pull the trigger. They have Eagle Rare $40 and Buf. Trace ($30) (including a handle for $45) in spades.

Got a bottle of it this morning. It just came in and they were opening the box in front of me. There 5 minutes earlier and wouldn't have got it. Out of Blantons, Buffalo Trace and others I wanted to get but they do carry a large selection. First time in the place 20+ minutes away in another town. Gonna call ahead next time and see what's in. Pickings are slim around here.

Just my opinion but Eagle Rare is noticeably better tasting and smoother than Buffalo Trace and worth the $10. Blantons is noticeably better tasting than Eagle Rare and should be in your liquor cabinet for times when you need a step up from the daily drinker.

That is a good assessment. I usually have Bulleit Rye and Buffalo Trace on hand for cocktails, Eagle Rare for straight and Blantons or Col EH Taylor for when I am stepping it up.

Larger store had Pappy 10 ($599) & 12 ($649) and George T. Stagg ($?) listed as available on Christmas Eve. Just window shopping for me until the last is out of college but interesting that they were there for the taking. Settled for Basil Hayden's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (value priced at $32)

No such thing as Pappy 10 & 12. Those are in the same family but are "Old Rip Van Winkle" not "Pappy Van Winkle". Pappy is 15, 20, or 23 years old. And those prices are beserk for Old Rip Van Winkle. Lot of stores try this though to take advantage of the Pappy thing. Good bourbons but not in the Pappy or BTAC realm. That Stagg on the other hand is outstanding.

Thanks for the clarification. I was seeing some wild price variations in Google searches and suspected something was amiss. I'll check out the exact Stagg product and price this evening.

I've seen the Stagg Sr. between $499 and $699 at some local secondary sellers this year. List is $119.00. Stagg Jr is a totally different animal (it's in the short bottle)...its a $60 bottle but gets some notoriety because of Sr (tall bottle).

So the Stagg (15 year) was priced at $799. They actually used the word "Pappy" on the ad for 10 & 12 year, which appears to be highly misleading. The bottle says "Old Rip Van Winkle" as you said...
I did pick up a bottle of Blanton's for $70 tonight at another, smaller store near-by. Might be a little more than I'd like to pay but willing to... given the difficulty in finding it.

My Christmas Haul
3 - Bottles of Buffalo Trace
1 - Angel's Envy Rye
1 - Woodford Reserve 90 Proof
1 - Basil Hayden's Dark Rye
and some Scotch that I won't mention here so that I don't get banned.
I wasn't super excited about the BH Dark Rye since it's a blend with a port but it was a very pleasant surprise.

Makes sense but if its a state store in Pa, then I would have my doubts that they would do anything that makes actual sense.i got a bottle of jim beam and a bottle of champagne from my aunt.

That is awesome. I am definitely going to give it a shot, though now that I think about it, there is a chance that she bought them in Delaware. Will report back...

Its not terrible to have a bottle of Jim Beam around for cocktails, or those times when a couple neighbors show up at 2 in the morning and you don't want to pour your good stuff for them ...i got a bottle of jim beam and a bottle of champagne from my aunt.

As for the champagne (more likely, cheap sparkling wine) ... New Years day mimosas!

A few hours ago 67 bottles of Pappy & Van Winkle just moved for over $56,000 on one of the underground Facebook pages.
The buyer is very well known, but the seller needed a couple folks to vouch for him. The right people vouched so the buyer was comfortable they were legit (a LOT of Pappy And rare stuff these days is fake).
Just like... that:

Had a little "blind" bourbon tasting party last night at our home. My friend who has 2 bottles of Pappy donated half a bottle. We had 10 guys and 2 women and 12 bourbons. Pappy was middle of the road for the ratings. All the bourbon was 20-50 dollars other than Pappy. Basil Hayden came in first, Elijah Craig second, Eagle Rare third, Buffalo Trace fourth, Pappy fifth, Makers 6th, Old Forrester 7th, Wild Turkey 8th, after that it did not matter.

Hopefully it turned out better than the last time I attended one of these. The host began shocking himself with some kind of dog shocker and then went outside in his boxers to practice throwing his axe at a tree. His wife said he wet the bed that night. It was a mess.

Was especially awkward for me as he's threatened to kill me before (I thought he was joking) and I later found out it is because he is dead set positive I slept with his wife (I didn't).

We were only tasting half shots but things did go downhill pretty fast after we got done.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the BH Dark Rye. I just really don’t like the finished whiskeys as much as I used to. Heck, I’m even coming off Angel’s Envy rye some, and that used to be my favorite thing in the world.
I’m finding I like the higher proof, spicier whiskies now. The good thing is I don’t drink them as fast.

Got a bottle of Yippee Ki-Yay from High West Distillery to drink with Die Hard viewing. Touch of sweetness (vanilla?) makes it an easy sipper.

Not my cup of tea. But I'm guessing that's not what you meant.
