Since bourbon is best sampled without rum mixed in, I have split the rum posts into a new thread.

It is not "flavored" in the traditional sense -- they are adding some hops. I have made an inquiry to see if a bottle can be procured at a better price. The website I linked you to also sells the 23 y/o PVW for more than $200, which is above market. I am thinking this stuff might be found somewhere for about half the price listed above.
The guy at my usual store says that the vodka they make is extremely popular.
Ever hear the phrase, "don't knock it til you try it?"

The store quoted me $315 -- too rich for my blood.
Holly, do you have alcohol connections?

RL,
Greetings...Sorry to be so late in responding, have been traveling!
My old mentor owned a liquor store that I worked at while attending school. He has since passed away, but some of the old crew is still there! lifter
It is a possibility to get a discounted price, but will have to do some checkin in.
Will let You know if I can come up with anything.
Take care,
Holly

I am a Kentucky boy and grew up on Bourbon.
Woodford Reserve is OK.
Here is my list for the ones I like. Been drinking them for 30+ years. Used to go to bars and take bets on if I could pick what ever Bourbon they set up. If not I pay, If I got them I drink for free. Only paid 1 time over the years. It is getting harder as all these new ones come out.
#1 Wild Turkey Tribute 50yr Anniversary (15yrs)
Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Wild Turkey Rare Barrel
Wild Turkey 101 Note: 86 proof not on the list
Woodford Reserve
Makers Mark
Buffalo Trace
There are a few more but by the time I go through the bar I will not be able to type. 
Bourbon should be savored and only consumed on the rocks. OK if you have to drive use a little 7up to keep your sugar level high to make it home (Oh that is what I do here in the US I just sit on the porch and drink with the neighbors. Shoot a few animals dumb enough to stray into our sights. Love being able to shoot in any direction and the bullet will fall on my land.
Women Love Wild Turkey 101 with 7up. It really sneaks up on them.

My second choice is Maker's Mark.
I used to be a Jack Daniels drinker, until I got hooked on Woodford Reserve. I can still take that, if I have none of the other two around!

My Problem is down south here all any one has is Scotch (JW) and you can get Jack Daniels (Sour Mash not straight bourbon) or Jim Bean (TT Bourbon). I have to bring good quality stuff in on all my trips back and forth. I also get friends to mail me the good stuff in. I have had to stock pile Wild Turkey 101 here and when I get below 5 cases I call for a resupply. You never know when a snake might bite you and you need medicine.
When I go out I drink JD in most countries because they have no Idea what Bourbon really is. I have over the years converted many a Latino here to Bourbon. The problem I ma the only place to get it. Lots of bums here. You thought that a team guy that smoked or dipped was a bum They are armatures to the locals here. Now the women that I have given a taste to and liked it my door is always open.
