They also have a single batch, and a barrel strength - at 102 and 120 proof respectively. good, simple bourbon.

I love that redemption.
In my experience, solid whiskeys are between $55 and $65. Really good whiskeys are $75+, but they're less reliably so. AD Laws, Breck, Redemption 7, are all really good.
You guys are killin me with the flashbacks. I think I said it then, and I'll say it again - that was one of the "funnest" nights I've had and one of the best trips ever. Puking at the south gate of Needles puts me in rare company. Jumping around between and on top of the rocks at Devil's Kitchen until 2:00am under a full moon - epic.

Blantons - yes, a gem.
Agreed in general about Blanton's - but this bottle is special.
I have to agree. Such a fun laid back trip!! I don't know how I didn't hear you guys wondering around my truck that late in the night. I think I have a pic of that moment at the South gate at Needles.

Was it pulled on your birthday with your name on it? Can't tell from the picture. You're making me thirsty...especially since I just gave notice to quit my job today...without a job to go to
Might need a drink?!
Yes indeed. Kinda like the VDJ76 of bourbons - or something like that. Blanton's Straight from the Barrel - it's the uncut and unfiltered bourbon that comes from the same barrels as the Blanton's we see on the shelves here. For whatever reason, the barrel proof version is only exported to Europe and Japan and not sold in the US. I found a couple of bottles on my last trip to Poland and brought them home in my suitcase. Now I just need an occasion to open one up.

Perfect, I am going to a Bacon and Bourbon party on Saturday and this is in my price range....

It's really good, but needs time to open up and breathe. It's a bit alcohol heavy when it first opens but will burn off if given some time. And make sure it's the Bottled in Bond version of Old Grand-Dad - the BiB is older and better than the regular stuff.
That said, if you're going to party and want to impress your friends, you might need to spend a few more bucks and get into the $30-40 range. Eagle Rare 10 yr is a crowd pleaser at around $30, or Elijah Craig, or Four Roses Small Batch/Single Barrel (the Single Barrel is the shizzle but it's $40).

Eagle Rare 10 year was the hit of the party, great suggestion!
