Bourbon, Rye and American Whiskey

... they happened to come up adjacent - below
UK Amazon bourbon prices have seemed all over the shop in the past year, up and down.
Trump had put a duty on uk whisky exports, but, I have the impression/theory USA whisky is being dumped on the UK market given the lows we've seen.

You re comparing 1ltr with gift tin to 700ml, but yes.

Makers Mark and Woodford are both regularly on offer for £20, although to be fair JD 700ml is often £14 in Tesco so.......

I agree with your comment on the trump and duty thing.

Bulleit is £22 a bottle at the moment which is the best deal currently.

After christmas I still have a few bottles so I dont need anymore, but if I were buying today that is the one to get.

EDIT: Actually **** it, why not, not like it goes off lol.

Will grab a bottle, not had this for a while, tried the rye the last couple of times.

Have a bottle of Eagle Rare to try tonight, wanted to see how it compares to buffalo trace, which I really like.

Yea I've tried it, it's a bit better than regular, to be fair tastes pretty similar, definitely not the same stuff as regular though, the abv is different to start.

The bottle itself is really cool, I kept the last one it's on a shelf.

I've ordered one just now anyway at £22, I'd say worth a try if your haven't. Thanks for the heads up.

The very first bottle I tried a while back, I wasn’t so sure on it, I then tried the rye version which was nice, having recently got another bottle of bulleit bourbon in a sale on Amazon, I quite like it now, not as good as my favourite buffalo trace, but it’s good, not as smooth as the buffalo I would say.

Need to get some more bottles, on my last bottle of bourbon.:D

How do you find it?

Wow, not tried any of those. Guessing they are expensive.

Blantons is gettable but expensive. Highly regarded in the States. If you tour their distillery you can sometimes pick up a bottle of 'single barrel' in the company store, very hard to get.

Pappy's is the most sought after Bourbon in the States and perhaps the world. It's generally considered the best. Oh, it's very expensive and all but impossible to get unless you know someone... my friend knows someone. Liquor stores, bars and ordinary people try for years to get a bottle. The majority never do.

A few years back my friend donated a bottle of Pappy's 10 y/o to an auction for a children's charity. It sold for almost $2000 US!
