Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.

Be interested in your thoughts on the Blantons and Pappy's.
My first experience with Blanton's was why is this so sought after? In subsequent trials, it's got to be the bottle it's not that good to be so hard to find.
Pappy's is good I like it ok. But I have bottles and much more reasonable price points I like better. I won't turn it down if offered though. :-) [Reply]
3 of us from work get together every 4 months or so at each other's place to have a whiskey tasting. This last Friday, it was at my friend's place. He had a Wild Turkey theme. He's got a ridiculous collection of stuff. The problem being once you've tried like 3 of them, all discipline goes out the window and you are just drinking whiskey. SO...I don't have much to report.
He DID have a bottle of 1988 Wild Turkey 101...that old label brought back memories of my dad...that was his favorite. He used to say "If it's good enough for President Johnson (LBJ) it's good enough for me!"
We also sampled some more modern offerings from Wild Turkey. You just can't go wrong with Jack Russel and his stuff...
A nice cigar and some top shelf whiskey day drinking...what a great day it was! [Reply]

I don't mind it. I got a bottle of their BiB, and it's also fine. I find whiskey in that price point is great, because you can mix it, drink it straight or cut it with a little water and not feel bad about it at all. [Reply]
