Not mixing,,,, sipping’……defined in ordinary posted comment…….

Maker's Mark

I just got some 750ml bottles of that for $22 a pop.

yukon jack on the rocks

NH has cheap cigs and Booze.

Heck ....our Liquor Stores have their own exit off Interstate 93 in Hooksett

For tequila, Herradura reposado. About $50 per bottle.

Around here finding the "good stuff" for a reasonable price is a bit of a game. Anything that's limited allocation for stores is usually jacked up in price by stores.

I check every store I go in just in case. My secret spots are very unassuming spots for booze. Got a fifth of Eagle Rare last week for $50 , saw Blantons for $100 the other day, a block over at the foreign owned liquor store those are $100 and $150, IF they have them. EH Taylor and the like are $2-250. Greedy buggers.

My advice would be to have a shopping list and just start watching when you are out and about. Know your price range and be ready to jump if you see them.

Bourbon and Scotch are my sippers. Big EH Taylor fan but its pricey if you can find it around here. Eagle Rare is very tasty. Woodford Double Oaked is very good IMHO and more available and reasonably priced. Scotch, couple bottles of Glenlivet, Macallan or the Balvenie 12 yr olds are affordable and will make any scotch fan happy.

if its tequila you want get blue agave. Whiskey 12 yr old bottles is a good start.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed, it can run you over 900$ a bottle.

Just have....

Single malt Scotch ...Highland Park 18

Bourbon.....Woodford Reserve

Then for that everyday sip ...Jameson

That will keep the Pontiac Tribe very happy

You guys that drink Jameson ever drink Tullamore Dew? Both good stuff in my opinion

If I drive into Indiana Kroger has buy 5 at 50% off deals, something like that. 80 proof wild turkey rye, green label I think, is supposed to be up there with some of the best. Jameson Black Barrel is pretty good stuff too. I'm not too snobby and actually really like that bird dog black berry too.

They get a good chunk of my cash whenever I go that way. Love those stores with their own exit ramp. I always get my max bottles per person when crossing state lines.

Very smart NH. More states need to do that.

Whiskey was very cheap in Wyoming when I went there. Jameson was 19.99 a bottle. Here, its pushing 30.

Sad thing about Irish whiskey is we can get it here cheaper than the Irish can get it because they tax the snot out of it there

I don't drink but here in Kentucky , finding good stuff ain't too hard...Good Bourbon is everywhere just about it.. From $50 to $500(or more), take your pick

Lucky you.

I send shopping lists when friends head south!

Planning a golf weekend/bourbon shopping run this summer

Balvenie Double Wood for ordinary sipping

All about sipping bourbon.

You Scotch guys help me out. Always taste like what a Band Aid smells like to me. Can’t seem to develop a taste for it.

He asked WHERE, not WHAT! Check out Sam's club or Costco. Many of those small gas station/Quick Trip converted stores have great prices.

Back in the day when we were kids it was hard to beat a bottle of 4.10 shotgun Canadian Sherry
Come alive for a dollar five.Fit perfectly in the side of your skidoo boot.Warmed the cockles of your heart out on the snareline in winter.
Only place to get it was the LCBO,had to get my buddys older sisters boyfriend buy it for us,lol.

Another one of these opened ended posts. Seen so many on trapperman. Define what you are looking for or like if you know ? If you don't know then just say so. But 4 pages in don't come up with a list of booze that you already knew before.

All good,,,and will also add Canadian Club Reserve and old faithfull,,Crown Royal.

I guess I'll have to stop by.

Sample what you have on hand.

Make some recommendations after I get a feeling for your taste.

Bib & Tucker - Single Barrel Select 12 Year
Whistlepig 12 Year Old World Rye Whiskey

Seeing as we're going high end. Might as well start on the top

Opened this over a year ago, might have another shot after I finish taxes. It’s good! I used to drink more, I liked Tin Cup American Whiskey. It’s not high end really but it’s a good one to have on hand.

wws

I remember gettin sick on London Tower gin. Didn’t even have much. Two gin n tonics. Haven’t touched liquor in a long time. That’s what ya get for buying cheap stuff

I think you need a drink.

water, cheaper and better for you.

I put water in every single Canadian Club I pour!! Even in two states-liquid and froze

Have a Bud Lite

I cant remember if ive had the cc reserve. Maybe i had too much if i did. Anyway, is it that much of a step up from regular cc?

Excuse me.....

There you go, smoothest bourbon Ive had. Around here you have to be on a waiting list for 6 months to get it.

Sam's Club is, by far, the least expensive place to buy booze around here. They don't carry everything, but their prices are great if they have what you want. I've been told by a reliable source, the "French" Costco brand of Vodka is comparable to Gray Goose. Wouldn't touch the stuff, myself.

Just say no.

You won't be saying "no" when you need a martini to pour on that fresh bullet wound, along with the pain killing attributes for the extraction and stitches.

Poor fella cant hold his likker.

Military PX

Smooooooth

40 bones


You're gonna wanna send me a bottle after you try it

Good idea , for those worthy of access.

Do they carry any higher end stuff or more run of the mill ?

I Very seldom drink, but if I do I'm generally a cheap date. For sipping I would choose Admiral Nelson's Spiced Rum first. Real high end, you can get a fifth for seven bucks around here, but it is smooth and tastes good. After that I would go with Tito's vodka and then Goldschlagger (sp?). A little spendier but not the ridiculous prices of some stuff. Kraken rum ain't bad either. I've had some high dollar scotch that was real good, and I've had some high dollar scotch that I wouldn't give to my worst enemy. I don't care for the stuff that tastes like iodine, myself. Not too much of a whiskey or bourbon fan, drank plenty of it as a teenager, it was high octane and got the job done, taste wasn't a priority. Pendleton is pretty dang smooth, but I don't really care for the flavor. I have a bottle of Weller's reserve (I think 12 year?) at the house that a hunter gave me several years ago. still have probably half a bottle left, pretty good flavor for a bourbon, but kinda rough in my opinion, I have to cut it with water some to enjoy sipping it.

Here on the base they carry a very poor selection of somethings. The prices are better down town too. The entire display is about twelve foot long and three or four shelves. That area is for all the wine, whiskey, vodka, gin and a few others thrown in. I have never seen anything I thought was a deal. If you think Jim Beam and Black Velvet are high end, you would be set.

Embrace life sober......

Try the CC Reserve.You will like it.

Of all places, Caseys gas station had a display of that when I went to pick up a couple pizzas last weekend. It didnt have a price, but I was confused. Isnt Chris Stapleton sober? And he promotes whiskey?

Does higher price mean better stuff?

Will the cheap stuff work just as well for cleaning wounds?

My guess is probably better. Alcohol kills germs. The stuff that adds flavor ain't alcohol

now that's the attitude
just watch he may have consumed all the good stuff and poured the cheap stuff in expensive bottles

Take notes if there are pencil lines on the label and the fluid level is above those = dilution has happened

Read till the end

Scotch is definitely a taste you acquire. Some never do. I've got buddies who are huge bourbon guys and can't stand scotch.

Need to remember there are a pile of different flavor "profiles" in scotchs, all depends on where its made. Not to sound like a fancy Nancy but some are fruity and crisp an others taste like licking a stovepipe used to burn an outhouse.
restaurant or bar and try a few. Macallan 12 or Glenlivit 12 are real clean tasting and easy to sip. If you can enjoy bourbon neat, you can sip those.

LOL, I agree!
