In your opinion, what’s the best use of this whiskey (sipping or mixing? Any recommendations on a particular mix? I’ve only tried it neat, but don’t think I’ll add ice, water or a mixer. This is great right out of the bottle.
I tried this one at a bar and loved it, so I picked up a bottle shortly after. It’s tempting to buy the 12-year for $109.
Simply put, if you see Bib & Tucker 12 year for less than $115 you buy it. All day every day.
I think Total Wine has it at $109.
I highly recommend it if you’ve got $109 sitting around you’re willing to spend on a bottle of damn good bourbon.
It’s one of the bourbons that causes me to refuse to overpay for Blanton’s.
