My Whiskey Collection

[JFellows]

I'm definitely a bourbon drinker, myself (although I do enjoy whisk[e]y in general). I prefer something nice to sip on, and I'm quite fond of both Maker's Mark and Knob Creek.

Not finding the scotch pix. Here's a couple of my special ones:

WOW! I am incredibly envious. Are you finding all of those at local liquor places? I'd have to do some serious traveling/special ordering to come close to that kind of collection. I'm actually looking for a new sipping bourbon to try...do you have any suggestions? Maker's is my standard choice, and if my wallet is feeling nice and happy then I'll splurge and get a 1.75 of Knob Creek. Any ideas?

Sorry for the delay; my laptop bluescreenofdeath'ed. Came back to life after booting from system disc; almost had to drop $1200 on a new Vaio. I digress.

All locally bought, although I did overpay on ebay for a bottle of Pappy 23 year old, then the next week Binny's got me another bottle. Binny's can get anything. Got me George Dickel Barrel Select in less than a week (Tennessee whisky).

Decided tonight that I like Knob better than Woodford.
Pappy 20 yr old is the absolute favorite--about $90. 15 yr old isn't bad.
Rowan's Creek is a good small batch bourbon.
Eagle Rare is another lesser known one that I like.
George T. Stagg kicks butt at around 140 proof--add ice and let it melt/dilute!

Any recommendations for a good single malt Scotch in the $45-60 range? I need a father's day gift.

I have a collection of empty scotch bottles

For JFellows, who asked:
good single malt Scotch in the $45-60 range?

Aberlour a'bunadh $60 (prices from binnys.com)
Balvenie Doublewood (12 yr old) $40--almost everyone loves this and it's a bargain
Bowmore 17 yr old $63 peaty, but much less than Laphroig or Ardbeg; less expensive than Lagavulin
Highland Park 12 yr old $40 another good basic single malt
Isle of Jura Superstition Single Malt no age; kind of smoky $35
Macallan 10yr Old Fine Oak $40 an economical Macallan
Talisker 10 yr old $54 smoky, not peaty

Hope this helps and dad has a good day.

I have a collection of empty scotch bottles

HA HA! When I first started to bring home empty bottles, (I think 16) I put a 3/4 bottle of jack on my desk by mistake, and my mom thought it was sweet tea. I asked her why in the world would I have a bottle of sweet tea sitting my desk, and she said, "For decoration."

Where did y'all hide the mason jars?

I've been meaning to try this bourbon whiskey but want to see if anyone has ever tried it.
It's called Fighting Cock Bourbon Whiskey and is 103 proof.

Also, does anyone know of a good/alright scotch that cost between $20-$30?

I did a review of it here
