No laughing here. Ezra Brooks is sorely underrated. Nothing wrong with it at all. Right there with Evan Williams, IMO.

My favorite thing about the "dead of winter" is pouring a finger of bourbon, grabbing my coat, and heading outside at dusk with my little female Westy "Arly" as the chill falls, walking around in the yard listening to the evening sounds, a dog barking in the distance, a few children late at play in the neighborhood, maybe a deer hunter's lone rifle shot in the lake swamp nearby, traffic on the bridge South of town hitting the expansion joints "ba-bip, ba-bip"...peace.

Giant Texas is hard stuff for some dealers to get. The 80 proof is even harder. The 91 is much more common, it seems. I think my local guy is at $20.99, but he prices under most places. Not very expensive, just not well known. I won a bottle of the 80 with a raffle ticket last spring at a sporting clays shoot for the Ronald McDonald House, and was really surprised.

I had a bottle of 20 year old Pappy Van Winkle last year but a fellow offered me $1200 for it and I let it go.

The fellow I hunt on in middle Tennessee has a big gun safe in his well house packed full of different years of Pappy Van Winkle along with other hard to get whiskeys. I was scared the first time I saw inside...it was a whiskey avalanche waiting to happen.
If you don't mind me asking where did you try some Pappy ?
The reason I ask is because people will pay pretty good money for empty Pappy bottles and rumor is bars are not beyond pouring something else in an empty bottle.

Fellows, I retired into a part-time job in my local liquor outlet as the whiskey expert. Trust me, Remus Repeal Reserve is a very lightly known whiskey that is absolutely fabulous. It runs around $75 and is well worth every penny. It is my favorite "special" whiskey.

Stan,
Gun rooms happen when the kids move out of the house. My son's room was turned into one. The carpet wasn't even cold after he moved when I moved my stuff in!
While not a bourbon, I enjoy a Drambuie on the rocks with a pipeful of blended tobacco.
