Thanks.
I need to get a few bottles only have about a quarter of a bottle of Wild Turkey left.
Week before last I did a bottle of Buffalo Trace in a week!
To be fair though this week I have not a single drink of anything.
EDIT: 2 bottles ordered, love Makers Mark basically my favourite one.

Nice, I just order the odd bottle when I see a discount, I don’t normally drink as much whisky In the hot weather, but I can’t help myself this last couple of weeks, though I have it with a lump of ice in the summer.

Maker's Mark 46 is also on offer for £34.
I have a bottle once, its nice but not enough to justify paying a third more for, the regular version in my opinion is great, I think I borderline prefer it.

I think its just finished in slightly different casks and has a slightly higher ABV.

Buffalo Trace is on offer atm for £19 over on amazon.

Thanks, got a bottle, there is quite a few Black Friday deals on at the moment, few others like Jim Beam Black £20.99, WT 101, £24.98, the latter i'm not to keen on though.
Can't go wrong with Buffalo for that price though.

Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey is on sale atm for less than £20 on Amazon, I've never tried this so grabbed a bottle.
One of my favourites hope you enjoy it.
Got some new ones to try over the Xmas period, never had any of these before but I'll try them out and put them on the list in due course.

Wild Turkey 101 is £21 on Amazon if you use a subscription. Offer ends at midnight!
I really don't like it sadly.
It's like the super strength lager of bourbon imo.

I put it in there in case anyone wants to get a bottle in time for Christmas.
It used to be better many years ago when it was age stated,but it does taste younger now. For mixing it probably works well because of the strength.
Personally I prefer Makers Mark.

It seems Buffalo Trace is £16 in Tesco too:
Well, first one on the list and most expensive, £53 a bottle Missouri Ridge, was given it as a gift not easy to come by apparently.
And the verdict......
Rough as a robbers dog.
Honestly it's vile, Mrs tried it and agreed as well. I normally drink straight but even with a good amount of coke it's still not great.
...and I'll quite happily drink Bells whisky with coke.

Next new one tried.
Yellowstone Select.
Pretty good, nice flavour, bit of a burn but only slightly, and it packs 46.5% abv so understandable.
Not bad, but nothing special, and I hate to say it, but your Makers Mark/Bullet/Woodford is better and cheaper.
