Still enjoying Proper Twelve. Thanks for the recommendation, Violator.

Saw a bottle of Green Spot tonight. No yellow and I doubt they even heard of the red.

Can't say I have ever had a rum that I wanted to sip on, just mixing spiced rums.

I can't even find yellow spot around me, all I ever see is green spot.

The truly amazing thing is you probably spent less than $200 total for that shelf too

I would skip the Green and jump to the Yellow, it’s worth the extra cost.

I've skipped the green but can't find any yellow. Guess I'll just have to make due with what I have.

For those liquor aficionados, I'm sure you've heard of Pappy Van Winkle: the $3,000 per bottle bourbon, that is supposedly second to none. You may not have heard of its little known cousin, WL Weller.

Essentially Pappy has very strict standards for each bottle, and any liquor that doesn't quite cut it to be labeled as PVW, gets bottled and sold as WL Weller. To the untrained taste, it's very hard to find a difference between the two as they are virtually the same.

The WL Weller is $40 a bottle, if you can find it before it gets sold out at your local liquor store. It is my go to drink, and undoubtedly the best bourbon for its price.

And here's my bar.

I have a couple gallons/bottles of Weller 12 on hand, but I haven’t opened them yet. I’ll try them someday.

Local store had no Weller, so I ended up with another Proper Twelve. As I was paying I noticed a bottle of Eagle Rare up on the shelf behind the counter. Not sure why it was there as it's not that pricey a bottle.

Binny's (Superstore in Champaign) had regular Jameson's for $19.99 a fifth this past Saturday. But being the day before the Super Bowl, the place was mobbed. I don't do lines well, even for a good deal. Same bottle is $29.99 at the local store.

Due to the overhype, ER is typically allocated these days.

Congrats on another bottle of Proper, glad you’re enjoying it.

I tried fat-washing some Four Roses Yellow Label with brown butter. I need to work on it some more, as it only had a faint note of the butter.

Right before Christmas I got the gift set (fifth of Jameson and shots of their IPA and Stout versions) for $12 a set. I bought 3 of them and I don't even drink Jameson often.

It seems pretty location based, it is pretty easy and common to find around me. Same with Buffalo Trace.

I can't ever find some that I do want like Weller, Mightnight Summer Dram, Yellow dot, etc. anywhere around me (I've looked a lot of places) so it's a give and take. I would take some of those nicer ones in place of the eagle rare, even though it is a good budget sipper.
