It's NEVER available around here (SE Wisconsin). A local bar/restaurant just did a barrel pick, though, so I'll be getting one of those bottles in a couple of weeks.Feels like there was a big drop of Buffalo Trace here recently. Went a solid week with it available at my local store. Picked up 3 bottles. My wife's head of security picked me up a bottle of EH Taylor Rye somewhere. Wouldn't take money for it so I picked up an Old Forrester gift set that with 1897, 1910 and 1920 in it. Was the only one like that I've seen around recently and was $10 more than the EH Taylor.
I found it once a dump of a liquor store in Myrtle Beach about 6 years ago. I had gone in there to see if they had ginger ale for my wife to mix her Jameson in.
Odd i found similar to the point I was in picking up beer and a bottle of Evan Williams BIB and Buffalo Trace was on the shelf so I grabbed a bottle as I like to keep a couple bottles of it . Same store a week later was an email blast that an allocation of Buffalo Trace was in (including the 1.75 l).Feels like there was a big drop of Buffalo Trace here recently.

$100 a ticket, that's some sweet prizes.Sorry if honda. No idea if this is a fair or good thing. But was on my timeline today. Looks like they're raffling off a bunch of bourbon.

Same. Never seen any here in Wisconsin, either.
You're the one with the bottle...you tell us!
I've never had it, otherwise I would give you an opinion. With regard to the Knob Creek I would agree with AAA. You'll notice the oak and and a lingering spicy finish. Nothing wrong with sipping, but Knob Creek products are generally economical and make a good choice for cocktails.
As with the case in all single barrel bourbon's...some are better than others. I have read about McKenna being extremely good and not-so-good in the opinions of many. However the 2 particular McKenna's that I have personally had, have been good to very good. I would not pay allocated prices for it, but it is worth the MSRP.
So like I said, I'm new to the bourbon game, but the bar that did the barrel pick had the most insane bourbon list that I've ever seen:
I can't imagine anyone would buy an opened bottle. I assumed they were using it for a decanter or decoration. But maybe I'm naive.
Nobody here but us bargain basement dwellers.
The Total Wine near me had some of their other expressions on the shelves, I'll keep an eye out.
The SBBPR was initially a limited release, but they announced it’s gonna be part of their regular lineup, right? So it should become pretty easy to get?
I saw 4 750ml bottles at a store a month ago while in search for something else. I bought all 4 thinking I found something. As I continued my search at other stores everyone had BT.
I am onboard with Wild Turkey team as well. RRSB is one of my favorites. I have not had a bad one yet.
I used that in a Manhattan last night. I prefer it in that over straight.
It was by far the worst bourbon or rye I've ever tasted. And that's saying a lot. I've had Rebel Yell and Ten High before.
.
For my palate, the Knob Creek 12 is good and every Henry McKenna Single Barrel I've ever had has been good as well. But for my money (and opinion), the Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel is overrated. And that opinion is coming from an EC Barrel Proof fan.
