Where are you finding John J. Bowman for under $50? MSRP in Virginia is $57. It's now on the allocated list in VA.
@stayupjs5 ай бұрын
Shoulda threw makers cask strength in there it holds up well to the wt rb. Proof flavor notes and age. The balance is spot on just like the turkey
@waymor24605 ай бұрын
Heaven Hill bib has to be on the list. I actually bought a bottle in Va last week from the regular shelf. I was told by a store manager it’s no longer allocated in Va. Who knows 🤷.

Yeah unfortunately true. It's a great bottle for sure but of the Bowman stuff it's the third hardest to find. Impossible to find some places.

Unfortunately it depends on where you live. If you remove it from the list of competitors WT still got beat for both of us.

"...that are ... pretty much available." The word choice and hesitation were indicative that he didn't mean "widely available," but yeah it's sadly no longer available every day around most areas.

I bought two bottles last week, and two weeks before that. The KZbinr is in Virginia and so am I, so it’s easier for us to get it. The distillery usually puts bottles out in their store at opening. That said, it’s not $50 anymore. In the past two years, it went from $50 to $53 to now $57.

In my opinion, on a given night, Rare Breed can compete with any bourbon out there. However, palates can change night to night and some nights it may not compete well at all.
