I just got back from a trip to St Augustine, FL and then on to Savannah, GA. (see my post 'Bottling beer today' in the What Ales You forum for more on the beers we had on that trip).
While there I was able to provide one of my friends his first tast of WT Tribute and G T Stagg. He was blown away by both. This guy knows his bourbon and had been unable to get either in FL. He was excited about getting to try them.
He loved them both, but preferred the Stagg on that occasion.
I am scheduled to go to SE Kentucky along the WV border in about a month. I want to get some Stagg, Eagle Rare 17 YO, and some Buffalo Trace. Anybody know of any good liquor stores in SE KY? I know these are mostly small towns, e.g. Corbin, London, etc. but there must be some bourbon drinkers in that area.
