Jack Daniel's is too sweet for my tastes.

No Pappy released in the Chicagoland area yet - I hear in the next 2 weeks though
The Four Roses barrel strength runs $60 a bottle by me - is that worth it? Does it compare to anything as far as taste?
Anyone have any experiences with the E Willams single barel stuff - good bang for the buck?

I just tried this for the first time tonight and I completely agree with you, amazing! I never thought anything would beat Woodford for around the same price, but this is at least equal to, if not better, than Woodford. Great stuff!

Still have an opened bottle of 13 year rye and an unopened bottle of 12 year bourbon.
I will finish them soon... I've decided not to hoard bourbon any more.

Dont get me wrong.. it's all good stuff, but now days.. it's coming from similar places... Some will scoff at the "Buffalo Trace", but it's no different than PVW..
I have some of both in my cabinet. I like Woodford for everyday pours.
I also homebrew, and love craft beer more than bourbon, and I'll say.. Heaven Hill barrels taste amazing for most beers, better than most, and in some cases, better flavor than PVW.. I did have a scotch ale aged on 23 PVW that was stellar last week.

In terms of coming from the same place, it is and it isn't... there are only a few actual distilleries in KY, and most bottlers buy lots of barreled bourbon. I believe Pappy still has their own recipe made, and the newest bottles are the initial run from Buffalo Trace. They still have a master bottler who picks the barrels, and the age their bourbons significantly longer.
That said, there are LOTS of amazing bourbons being made right now... Pappy has become a fun quest, but not a necessary bottle in your cabinet.
My goal for next year is to make it to the Four Rose's distillery in time to pick up there 13 and 18 year old bourbons. Their single barrel bourbon is amazing, however.
I don't think Woodford is worth the money, personally... the double oaked is awesome, the regular stuff is OK.
There are lots of fun bourbons to try. I'm pretty excited about the bottle of Double Oaked Pritchard's that I'm going to open next (need to finish my bottle of Pappy Rye first).

The hunt for Pappy will be fun, but it's more fun to find a pour that you enjoy, regardless of the name. I'm big into craft beer, and I brew myself.. The chase is fun, but getting something you enjoy regardless of price and name is worth it.
I agree though, Four Roses Single barrel is really nice. Helluva drink.

Been having a cough lately, so a nice woodford hot toddy has really helped me settle down and sleep. Don't laugh!!
Got a bottle of 1792, and while it's good, it's not as good as Woodford, to me.
I'm a Woodfords fan too. Either on the rocks or with a spash of water. MMMMMMM.

Had some Jefferson's Reserve last week and it was perfect, smooth but alittle bite and a great taste. It would be my new drink except its just a tad too expensive ($55 for 750 ml) and hard to find (nobody around here carrys it) so I'm looking for something that tastes as close to that as possible.
Thought I'd see how the Woodford compares, and then the Knob Creek. Anybody that has tried the Jefferson's have any recommendations for something that is closest to the Jeffersons?

Lots of places around atlanta.. well.. not LOTS, but I see it if you look for it, will sell by the glass. One of my favorite places to eat has a 23year pour for $27 I think.. High, but hell.. if you can't find it and want to try it.

There are lots of great cheaper bourbons out there right now.
If you are a costco member, their bourbon is dirt cheap and awesome.
Four Roses Single Barrel is always good.
Old Forester Signature is the best bourbon / dollar.
Bulleit is great.
Stick to bottles under $30 and you will find at least one that you like...
Honestly, I think Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve are over-priced... Woodford Reserve double oaked is great, though.

Thx for the recommendations, I'm going to try them, just got on the local liquor store site and since they have Old Forester in a 250 ml I'm going to pick up some tomorrow along with a 750 of Bulleit, will be a good test (I'll let you know what I think). If either is close to the Jeff Res., I'll stop there, if not I'll try the 4 Roses this weekend.
As I stated, the JR is the first whiskey I've drank and said wow, that's really darn good. In additon to JD, G/mans, Crown Res, I've had Weller, Dickel, and I believe Knob Creek a while back and enjoyed them, but not like the JR. I've also had Makers Mark, quite a bit as my neighbor always had it, I could tell it was a good whiskey, just not my cup of tea (whiskey).
