I finally bought the bottle I’ve wanted since I first heard about it. I’ve been into whiskey for only 3 years now and I have found that I quickly bought into the hype of feeling like I needed to buy $60+ bottles to have a cool collection (never chased Blantons or Eagle Rare, more so Makers and Woodford Reserve allocated bottles). Found that was not the case, and realized there is a pretty sharp decline on ROI for these things. Had a bottle of Stagg Jr. as the first neat pour of whiskey back 3 years ago – hated it.

Anyway, I’m a tree hugger, like Redwoods a lot in specific, and really like the brand of Redwood Empire. Told my wife I was getting one last bottle of – what I consider – expensive bourbon. Had my eyes on this ever since I heard about it a year ago. Impossible to get this in PA, so I ordered direct from RWE’s site. $95 shipped to PA and can’t wait to enjoy it.

From here out I will only be buying Maker’s Mark, Woodford, Buffalo Trace and and WT101 for my regular drinkers.

Cheers!
