I was trying to find a good budget bourbon, and bought a handle of Evan Williams. I must say, I am impressed. Obviously not as smooth as, say, Elijah Craig, but it is solid.

What price point do you consider budget?

For me it's $20-$35

Yup

Old Grandad was $20 at the North Carolina ABC.

Old Overholt Bonded Rye is fantastic for the price point if you're looking for a rye...

Four roses yellow label when in sale at 18 is the best bet

Weller special reserve has popped up a lot online for around $24, can't go wrong with that.

According to Wikipedia Freddy Rumsen drank Old Grandad.

Tried a new beverage for this fine evening... it’s a winner. It’s called the Italian gentleman (hat tip to @slappybrown )

1½ oz Bourbon (had woodford reserve on hand)

1½ oz Campari

¾ oz lemon juice

¼ oz simple syrup

2 dashes orange bitters

Stirred on ice and then poured over ice. Tastes like grapefruit juice. It’s delicious.

Four Roses single barrel. Wow great value

Anyone go through the trouble of making some Pina Coladas? Or any go to Bloody Mary recipes

My go to.

I don’t think I’ve ever made my own Bloody Mary. As far as Pina Coladas, I’m a big fan of How to Drink and the last Pina Coladas I made at home followed his recipe.

Thanks i will check that out. I think i need some

Spent the afternoon at Lost Spirits Distillery in the Arts District in DTLA. Their tour is fantastic; they have a boat, you take a party bus on the freeway, and parrots do a spoken-word Welcome To The Jungle, and they finish you off with navy-proof rum.

Had my first taste of 12-year Knappogue Castle Irish Whiskey. Very smooth with prominent notes of vanilla/caramel.

i received that as a christmas present last year. very good.

got a bottle of knob creek smoked maple. pretty good. made a little manhattan with that and peanut butter bourbon. pretty good

My wife got me this for Christmas...I am very excited to try it:

She also got me this:

I'll be down for a pour of that Lagavulin in about 2 hours, shad. Prepare the guest room.

Girlfriend got me a giftcard that ended up as this.

Bluebird Rye Bourbon is such an intense flavour. It's almost the Laphroaig of bourbon. A must try.

I'll be down for a pour of that Lagavulin in about 2 hours, shad. Prepare the guest room.

I'll be ringing in the new year tonight (or at least the new year in London) with it.

Four Roses Single Barrel Private Selection. OESF recipe ages 9 years and 9 months, 20% rye mashbill, barrel strength at 56.7%. Delicious and pretty spicy.

@mikey found pink Whitney finally

Not sure if this is all state stores but the one in oakmont had 10% off everything even sales for leap day.
Got some knob creek small batch for 19 bucks

Same for Makers 46. Missed the Dad's Hat deal though
