Like, I can reliably find just about any Old Forrester (except the allocated bottles like Birthday and Single Barrel) pretty easily in the DC/MD/VA area, and for a reasonable price. Finding, say, Buffalo Trace or Eagle Rare, neither allocated and should both be well under $40, is a bit more complicated.

I have a few mainstays (Rare Breed, 1910, Four Roses Single Barrel, Elijah Craig (especially Barrel Proof, when it's not extortion prices), 1792, Double Rye) but try others to see what the hype is or whether I want to add to my bar or pass. I've become a fan of the Bardstown Distillery Fusion series (has #3 thru #6). Too many different whiskeys out there to either stick to one or not drink what you like. Many like Knob Creek. I can't get into it, no matter what the bottle or proof. 1920 is the preferred OF bottle, but 1910 is my jam. So on and so forth
