The Jim Beam was on sale at my local grocer for only $20 each & an additional $10 off for two. Rolling the dice but I’ve heard some decent reviews. The Jack is my first bottle of the barrel proof.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the JBDO. I'm a fan of the Woodford DO, and wouldn't mind something a little lighter on the budget.The Jim Beam was on sale at my local grocer for only $20 each & an additional $10 off for two.

So far I’d say it’s underwhelming compared to Woodford DO. I will drink it down to the shoulders tonight and give it a week or two to open up before I give it a final decision. I bought it for the same reasons as you, looking for a more affordable alternative to Woodford DO. Sadly this ain’t it.Would love to hear your thoughts on the JBDO.

You had me at Barrel Aged Maple SyrupJust ordered this Woodinville set (on special at a local shop for $58!) Includes the bourbon and the rye and a barrel-aged maple syrup, looking forward to trying all three.

It's always weird to me seeing the small jars of Luxardo cherries. I only ever see the #10 cans at anywhere I've worked. Man do they make a difference!A little shopping run this morning with the lovely Mrs. Camjr...

Opened up nicely, sweeter with a better finish. Still not Woodford DO, but pretty good for $20.So far I’d say it’s underwhelming compared to Woodford DO.

I would not call it complex, rather thin with an ok finish. It’s not bad at all especially since I only paid $13 for the bottle after instant rebate, but it is not a substitute for Woodford DO.
Trying to prepare a similar exercise myself. The more difficult part is hiding the credit card bill.Excuse the dark pic, had to sneak these bottles into the house under the cover of night, you married fellas know what I’m talkin about.
