Saw this new at the store tonight. Embossed glass bottle...no label. Was in the locked up bottles section, so I didn't get to fondle it and investigate further. About $23/fifth...should I try to secure some of this stuff?

I had some for the first time last night at a bourbon tasting. It was about the 5th bourbon I tasted (and I don't spit), so I'm not confident in my evaluation, but I thought it was worth the price. If you already have a big bourbon collection, it's probably worth getting. For about the same money, I've really been enjoying Buffalo Trace and Elmer T Lee lately. I'd get those first, if you don't already have them.

I'm a B-T ho, so I try to keep a bottle of those on hand. ETL is a new one, but I never see it on the shelves here. Maybe I'll pick up a bottle just for a teenchy li'l taste.

Bought a bottle for about $20 last Spring. Still have the empty bottle, has a vintage look.

Liked it, not as complex as some but worth the money. LMK what you think if you decide to go for it.

I revisited Elmer recently with a bottle from Binny's (their "hand selected"). Very hot rye component for a 90 proof bourbon. Perhaps blasphemous to say so, but I think this would make a killer cocktail. Manhattan anyone?
