Finished work and went to a restaurant on the Caloosahatchee, two blocks away. Great way to start the weekend! Going to finish it with a half marathon in Naples Sunday. Should be a spectacular weekend!

I will call them before the trek to Ft. Mill. Hope I can finally get a bottle.
I did finally crack the seal in that Four Roses, I think I have found a new go to, still like Knob Creek though.
+1 i lean towards the weller's

Good drink, for sure...but really hard to find.
Hmmm I love so many so here's a few of my favorites.
Woodford Reserve, Blantons, Knob Creek, Wild Turkey, Bulleit all yummy.

Usually Maker's Mark. But sometimes just have to go with a little Jack Daniels
I'm surprised how much I see Woodford Reserve and Makers Mark mentioned here.
I've been buying and drinking loads of bourbon for a good number of years now and would probably put both these two at the bottom of my list of favourites if they were on a list at all. Woodford Reserve is rather ordinary to me and Makers Mark quite rough around the edges. Though admittedly the 46 bottling is a big improvement on the regular.
These two are easily available in UK supermarkets. As such I tried these both early on in my bourbon journey. I thought they were good, but after trying many other bourbons since my opinion of them changed quite quickly. I also find them both overly commercial in a similar way to Jack Daniels whisky.
Each to their own though.

Saw the run of the mill Weller's Bourbon at the local ABC this week. Wanted to pick up a bottle ($23), but I figure it'll be available later.
I pick Beam or Elijah Craig over them any day.
Agreed. In that price bracket Elijah Craig blows them away. Four Roses too.
Personally I love Blanton's, particularly the Gold. Rock Hill Farms, Four Roses single barrel..
I have lots of favourites though but sadly a few are hard to get hold of now or just not available anymore.
I used to regularly have Elmer T Lee to hand but I can't get it now. I'm also fond of my Straight Rye's too.
I picked up my first bottle of Elijah Craig, very, very nice. I'd put it in the same caliber as 4 Roses Small Batch.
For the weekend, and to welcome VIP's in town, broke open the Elmer Lee! Super smooth!

Nice one. Was your Elijah Craig age stated?
Sadly no, silver lining is I won't know what I'm missing.
Angel's Envy. Also Gentleman Jack.
I worked for Brown-Forman for 6 years. They own Jack Daniel's but a true BF employee won't touch a drop of JD. They only drink Old Forester, because that's what the company was founded on. Always thought that odd as JD is what makes that company go.

The Eagle rare 10 was nice .. but I'm really enjoying Blantons at the moment.
