thats EXACTLY the road i took!
at a blind tasting of about 7 bourbons/whiskeys, i picked regular knob creek as one of my favorites of the group. so, since i like high proofs, it was obvious i would then try KC single barrel (love it!). then, at a bar one night before hitting the karaoke bar across the street, i saw Bookers on the shelf and ordered it too, as its also an upper Beamer and a yet higher proof. loved that even more!
but, those are getting too high up there in cost for me. i have a shitload of KC120 just because i found a local store clearing it out to discontinue it and bought all 13 at $18 a bottle. otherwise, at $36+, it would not be a regular shelf drink around here. and bookers, as much as i loved it, at $46+, will only be a special occasion or received as a gift.
if youre tastes are like mine, and it sounds they are, try OGD 114. for the price, you cant beat it. even at double the price, it would still be a close pick between the 3 to me.
i seem to have a lot of trouble finding stuff i like lately, as it seems i only like stuff well over the 100 proof mark, and there are few cheap offerings at the price range i choose to play in.
if i am remembering correctly, arent you the other med student on here?
