    Moving this from the ̶g̶a̶m̶b̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ investing thread to here:

    I was actually quite disappointed. Tastes alot like Evan Williams White label, which I've compared to a burnt tumbleweed branch. Maybe EWW with a chaser of honey.

    Evan Williams Bottled in Bond? That shit is pretty good for cheap bourbon.
    Ezra Brooks 90 proof is back on the shelves after a few year hiatus. I guess Lux Row found out the competition is pretty deep in the $50-$100 dollar market and decided to bottle the watered down stuff again. Best under $20 bottle there is.

    I just got drawn in a lottery to get Blanton's Gold for 175.

    I'm gonna do it

    That’s kinda steep but it’s very good. Polished off one of those and something else I can’t remember a year or two ago at thanksgiving and was impressed by it.

    Angel's Envy is the only brand my wife will use for her bourbon pecan pie. She has a bottle or two that I'm not allowed to drink. It's only for baking.

    Do it! I actually don't think $175 is all that bad. I bought a bottle of Blanton's Gold for $200 this past Sept at a non-descript liquor store in Taylorsville KY. And yeah, it's worth it!

    You are probably 100% right. I think the most I’ve ever spent on my scotches or whiskey’s over the years is $100, other than a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue. Those can last forever, but I’ve spent $50-125 for a nice Cab, multiple times, and those are only good for a day or so after opening.

    I had angel’s envy the other day and thought it was good enough to drink neat.

    If you can find Still Austin cask strength in your area BUY IT. Here in price controlled OH it was $60 and better than anything else I've had at that price point.
    My go to usual stuff is still Weller Green label- only $28 and pretty readily available here lately. Crazy that when I go to KY or TN I might find a bottle or 2 at $70-80.
