Solid collection! Some really good bottles there.

Where did that Eagle Rare go?

I see that Yellow Spot, one of my faves. I have a BOLO out on a couple bottles of Red Spot.

Eagle rare got demoted to the back of the shelf I mainly use that for sharing as I don't particularly enjoy it a lot myself. There are about 30 other bottles I would reach for before that one.

Liked the proper 12 didn't know it was McGregors brand. Not sure I like that but the donation to first responders is nice.

My store only got 2 of them in and it is a once a year release for this I believe. It is already sold out around town... been calling around to see if anyone else has any and most places didn't even get one.

What’s on the list?
My current list consist of the rest of the GoT series (I have 4 of 8) and Red Spot.

I’ll see if I can find this one too.

I’ve never tried the Green, but I’ve heard it isn’t nearly as good as the Yellow. Let us know how you like it.

List bunch of random stuff from little bit of research need to do more to narrow it down. Green think was recommended here somewhere. Hi west, blantons, Weller 12, redbrest 12, highland park 12, michters, whistling pig, and so on.

Solid list for sure, good luck finding some of those. Add Jameson Gold Reserve, Yellow Spot and Red Spot to your list, and for the Red Breast 12 get the cask strength.

Wow, some of those are really hard to find. I have all of the Red Breast line and one of the best bangs for the buck is the 12 year cask strength. I have a Red Breast 21 waiting for the right occasion.

That’s dangerously convienent. Do they allow special orders and/or a “call list”?

Yes I ask them for most anything and they have next day, got diplomatico that way.

Just tried green spot. It's decent I usually need to do side by side test with something else to see how I really feel about it. Reminds me of Jameson. My go to is generally knob creek and prefer the single barrel now.

Also my bar is gonna break with all the bottles, only has 12 slots laying down then extended tops which have quite a few and some doors that now hide growlers and such but will need to be moved elsewhere.

High West has a lot of different stuff, any one recommended in particular?
Blantons and Weller - I wouldn't pay anything above retail personally (~65 for Blantons and ~50 for the weller 12 if I remember right)
For Michters I find the American Whiskey way more enjoyable than their bourbon or their rye. I haven't had their single barrel offerings but I heard those are better for the bourbon and rye.
I haven't had a bad whistlepig but I think the oldworld is my favorite variety that I have had. Personally I like the Makers Mark Cask Strength better than WP 10 for a tad cheaper, and it is a high rye bill so the flavor is there.

Those recommendations are kind of all over. Do you have a few favorite whiskeys you could name and we could probably give some more targeted recommendations.

Weller is not worth the mark-up
