$60 down here. It was on the shelf at a little country store in Folsom, La. down the road from my in laws' place. Probably a little more at the shops in the metro area of New Orleans.

Delicious looking stick and whiskey pairing, what kind of glassware is that, looks like it might solve my snoz issue with the rocks glasses and would better serve me for higher proofed bourbons (That I mentioned earlier)

Nice!! Most places I frequent in Central Jersey have increased it to $93 but Joe Canals in Islin NJ has it for $55 but right next to it has one for $93 (can't figure out why), maybe an older batch. Like I said above, Jim Beam should drop the wood box and drive down the price (one is okay but how many end up in the garbage, I still have mine BTW). Or make it a quarterly allocation, that way the exorbitant price tag for such a commonplace bourbon (literally everywhere here) wouldn't seem so unreasonable. For nearly a hundo that Jim Beam is charging I can get several of way finer barrel proof bourbons that @erjaq was kind enough to let me sample.I'm in jersey too brother. This cost me $54 today.

How's it taste with all that ice? I could never bring myself to do that with my Booker's, but for some reason it looks "VERY REFRESHING" (Seinfeld)...and this is coming from a strictly Neat bourbon appreciatorNice pour of Booker's while out and about last night. It's nice to see at a few local bars.....

"On a shelf at a little country store in Folsom" sounds like a place i wanna go to
It was nice, but it got watered down real fast which over time made it taste like I was drinking water. I was distracted and should've asked for it neat. My own fault.

It's a Glencairn made for Canadian whiskies.
Can anyone get Elijah Craig Barrel Proof readily? Or is it an allocated one? Also can anyone get the 12 year? Looking for some. Kinda just curious on availability of these in general

Lol that's a whole lot of ice, I can't believe they put so much in a barrel proof (costly) bourbon. When i go out I usually pay $13 for a snifter of Booker's. What was the name of the bar, you're not to to far away from me, although all that traffic would suggest otherwise. My twin brother was just in Long Island for that crazy triple murder of that family (he's a freelance camera operator & editor for NBC)

Thanks boss! I used that site to find a site where they would ship. I have no idea what the right price is for shipping typically or for the barrel proof frankly, but 82 bucks all in is worth a shot to me.

Blind No Longer Bourbon Review #1
Bottle A: 2016 William LaRue Weller
Proof: 135.4
New Tasting Notes:
Watched Bourbon Brother's Review of the 2016 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection for a base to this review, and because their channel is awesome.
A real rich reddish shade, one of the darkest I've seen yet. Rich tobacco & cedar oak, plum raisins on the bouquet. French Vanilla, tobacco & spices on the palate with a rich oily syrupy mouthfeel. Thick as pudding lol. Not the same finish as Stagg but still Looonger than most.
A real honor. (4 1/2 stars)

Yeah it was alot. That was my fault for asking for some on the rocks. I now know for next time never to do that again.
And I know exactly where you're talking about too. I'm about 20-30 mins maybe a little more time with crazy traffic from that area.

You are absolutely correct sir.
