Funny enough, I got it a little over retail in store. I did have to wait in line for a few hours before the store opened up though when the batch was released.I tend to prefer Irish Whiskey and Bourbon over Scotch. For Irish, you can’t go wrong with Redbreast 12 Year. As for bourbon, the entire Buffalo Trace line of products is great if you can find them at retail. Seems like everyone of them is allocated these days. My personal favorites are Elmer T. Lee, E.H. Taylor, and Weller 12 Year (the Pappy 15 Year is pretty good too, but we can’t all ball out like @KushBandit). For something a little easier to find: Basil Hayden, Michter’s, and Old Forrester rarely disappoint.
But what do I know, my favorite go to whiskey is Don Julio 1942.
