Why drink anything else ? Especially when the local barmaid delivers a (4) ounce pour for $5…. |
| WT101 is a great bourbon, and Rare Breed is world class. I just finished off a bottle of WT101 Rye, so I'm turkey-less at the moment. Might try to grab some Rare Breed Rye. |

Might try to grab some Rare Breed Rye. I’ve spent way too much on Rare Breed. Kentucky Spirit is good also but I have decided that I prefer Rare Breed. |

I had some gnarly wild turkey experiences as a youngin, so never got into it until I found limited selection on a vacation. Discovered wt 101 made a damn tasty old fashioned.....  |

There are a lot of mixed drinks that are centered around Bourbon and WT101 usually works really good for those. One of my favorite summer time drinks is WT101 mixed over ice with Topo Chico in a highball glass. And at $20 for 750ml there is no point in spending less unless your only goal is getting hammered. |

And MUCH better than Jack Daniels, which was only good before I knew any better. Plain Jacks remains plain Jack, but they have been stepping it up lately with their Barrel Proofs and Bonded series. |

You must not know that Rare Breed is WT101 with less water added. |

A bourbon and a rye. 101 is the best bourbon for the price. I prefer Kentucky spirit, as they are older and highlight the nuances of the rickhouses. |

Not going to argue with the WT101 being the contender for best value. For those that are willing to take a little bit more cash and look in to things. 1792 Small batch is also a very good value. Full proof if you can find it is generally not to expensive and priced right in with Rare Breed. And My favorite. Old forester 1910. It is pushing $55-$60 a bottle but it is such a good bottle Punches above it's price point, I would say it hangs in with some of the $70-$100 choices. A new one I am really liking is Lucky 7 Holiday Toast. To put it mildly it is a fun sip and has a great combination of flavor, spice, toasted oak, and a little proof to wrap things up. At $75-$80 it is a bit pricy though. |
