Whisky exchange had a restock of Blanton's not long ago. I picked up 3 gold and 3 original. Price wasn't too bad, £65 and £85 respectively.

So you could become an alcoholic?
That ship has sailed my friend.
Bourbon, Rye and American Whiskey

And Amazon but out of stock nowShould I go for Bulleit for £20 instead?
Bulleit is a steal at £20.
I've had the rye but don't recall it being anything special. Bought the bourbon anyway, I like to have a bourbon or rye in for my Boulevardiers and the BT is dangerously low
I didn't rate their Eye either, but let me know how you find the Bourbon. Its one of my favourites, particularly at £20!
The legacy edition Jack Daniels (old fashioned looking green bottle) is back on Amazon £22.
I just ordered one.
Makers Mark is £23.
Jack Daniels number 6 distillers select is on Tesco with a clubcard for £20, but that isn't quite a good as the legacy edition IMO, not that there is much in it.

Yea let me know what you think, I've had it a few times before, maybe I have a good bottle not sure, I have found bottle to bottle they do vary, I seem to have a good one and I've bumped it right up the list.
Definitely Woodford varies also, two bottles back had a particularly good one.
Yea I reckon for £22 on offer it's not bad at all. I wouldn't buy it at full price.
..... saying that I tend to surf between Tesco and Amazon and only get bottles when they are on offer.
That a cracking deal on Bulleit, cheapest I ever seen it if I am honest. Great bottle also one of my favourites.
No I have not tried it but ordered one thanks for the heads up.
The legacy edition (I'm guessing we've both had) is the green coloured label one.
This is different....... or at least the bottle is.
Nice.
Bourbon is quite good at the moment in general.
Makers Mark £23
Jack Daniels Legacy No 7 £22
Buffalo Trace £18
Early Times old reserve aint bad at £21.45
Makers Mark 46 £28 - normally way way overpriced considering it is only marginally better/different to regular
Yeah, I ordered a bottle as well, please let me know what you think of it.
Got a feeling it might just be the label what’s different
Have you tried it yet?
Reckon it's just the same stuff as the green bottle just different label?
Yes last night, actually
I may be wrong, but to my rubbish taste buds it tasted the same as the legacy (green bottle). Let me know if you think the same when you get round to trying it.
Yea I cracked it Thursday, and yes it think it's the same stuff.
I do like it though, it has a certain flavour punch you dont get with a lot of the others. At the expense of it being slightly rougher, in comparison that is.
I'll probably keep one of each of the bottles. I dont normally keep bottles, but these are quite cool.
There is another one here:

But your basically paying a tenner for the bottle at that price........as I bet it's the same stuff.
Tried a new one today, Old Williamsburg Bourbon.
Screw cap and never heard of it so had my doubts, but its actually a decent bottle, very smooth.
Not quite as good as Makers Mark/Woodford/Bulleit which are also generally cheaper, but not bad.
I have another one I have not tried before either up next.

Next one, Henry McKenna Bourbon.
Very similar to Old Williamsburg actually, not quite as good but barely anything in it. Tastes very similar to Wild Turkey this one. Not bad.
Pleased I've tried both of these, both were good bottles, I wouldn't rush out to get them again though given they were both low £30 bottles, better out there for the money, but good none the less.

Looks like all the Wild Turkey offerings have 15% off the first order and 15% off on top for S+S
Longbranch or rare
I've only tried Longbranch which is really good.
Rare Breed is pretty expensive a bit outside what I'd feel comfortable spending on a bottle even if on offer, I've never paid more than about £35 on a bottle, and that's a rare occasion.
I just been through a bottle of Eagle Rare, it's from the Buffalo Trace distillery, and usually about £35 so you think it would be good.
Couple of years since I had it wasn't sure then, this time round I'm like nah, never again.

No idea.
