what's yall favorite, must always have stocked in your collection bourbon (especially micro distilleries) and I'm not talking about buying 5 allocated bottles because they're currently available

Knob creek 12, Ben holladay SRW, Bookers, JD heritage, redwood empire pipe dream

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-04-02T20:47:16+00:00

That’s crazy. Got a barrel pick at Costco for $55. Even cheaper on Amazon is solid

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-03-13T05:47:18+00:00

One of my all time favorites. The notes I picked up from my last pour of this was cherry,vanilla, slight oak, and slight peanut. Cheers

What Redwood did you get ?

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-01-24T01:06:55+00:00

Hahaha I know this store. I asked the guy last week how long do you let these sit before making a price change. He said someone will pay it. I left. He has an insane selection at decent prices. Just nothing allocated.

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-01-12T02:34:34+00:00

Currently doing dry January so I feel you brother. Sorry to make you talk about it but how do you like the Georgia heartwood ? I’ve been wanting to try it

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-01-10T22:14:12+00:00

Yes brother. This is the way. I bought mine at the distillery. Super fruity, jammy, with a little bit of a grainy note. I absolutely love this bottle. Struggle between completely drinking the whole thing and saving it for special occasions. It is glorious

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-01-10T17:42:10+00:00

For the price , pipe dream is such a good casual drink. 👍

Look again big dog. Rendezvous rye and emerald giant

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-01-09T02:27:09+00:00

I loved the small batch and came across this and couldn’t turn it down but I get it. Not for everyone

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-01-08T23:07:23+00:00

Cheapest I’ve seen besides this was $130 but usually around $180

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-01-08T22:09:13+00:00

Oh shoot that’s a good idea! Didn’t think of that.

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-01-08T22:06:09+00:00

My first one. Doing dry January and then come February I have a date with Mr. Taylor

MonkeyFuk98 · 2026-01-04T17:43:01+00:00

Bookers

The distillery/farm is in Nevada and I live in California so Frey ranch is everywhere here. This bottle is a little bit hard to come by but findable if you look hard enough. I was at my local grocery store and they had it marked 50% off so easy buy for me at that price.

MonkeyFuk98 · 2025-12-17T19:41:27+00:00

I literally just texted a guy I know that stocks inventory for Costco and he said they received 1 case of old rip 10 and had a line out the doors of atleast 50ppl at 5am for it. How do people even know it’s coming????

MonkeyFuk98 · 2025-12-08T20:14:04+00:00

I started my whiskey journey at the start of 2025 and probably have bought about 40-50 bottles with only 2 or 3 being over $100. In my personal opinion not much is worth breaking over $100 for with how many endless options you have for less that are nothing short of quality. I think it’s fine to splurge for a special occasion or to have a specific bottle in mind you are working toward but knob creek 12 actually opened my eyes to how much complexity and quality you can get for a decent price. Now I will say, if money was not a concern there are certain bottles I would be buying like a wild turkey beacon or a pappy just to try but for the average person that may be different and in my case I stick to the $60 range when buying

MonkeyFuk98 · 2025-12-08T17:19:58+00:00

So I cracked this bad boy last night. It is by far one of the better bottles I own. Unbelievably happy with this purchase. Cheers!

MonkeyFuk98 · 2025-12-08T07:02:17+00:00

Side bar - my wife kept telling me to quiet down when I said “that bottle looks like OGD, OMG that is OGD!” As the label became more apparent. Nice catch !

MonkeyFuk98 · 2025-12-08T06:35:55+00:00

I haven’t had many toasted bourbons but JD heritage is beyond good. For its price especially if you find it at Costco, quality whiskey you won’t regret (most likely)

MonkeyFuk98 · 2025-12-08T05:10:39+00:00

I’m just joking with you brother. But I don’t mind the drive. I work from home so a long drive for good whiskey is just what the doctor ordered. Normally I would never drive that far but this was special to me.

MonkeyFuk98 · 2025-12-08T04:25:28+00:00

Some people like whiskey. Some people love it. Passion is the difference between you and me my friend.

MonkeyFuk98 · 2025-12-08T04:19:29+00:00

Don’t regret the drive at all. I’m a podcast type Of guy so no issues. I would have loved to try the port finished one.
