OK, I'm not a big booze snob, but I know good when I taste it...

Evan Williams single barrel bourbon is freaking fantastic. If you can find it, it's TOTALLY worth the $25 dollars for a bottle. This ain't the usual Evan Williams stuff, it's fantastic.

I can never get ahold of this stuff, outside of holiday packages and occasional obscure store sales, but damn... it's good when you can get it. I eagerly wait every year, hoping it will be available where I am currently living (wherever that may be).


Also, Buffalo Trace bourbon: it's not rare, but it's damn good stuff too, and for $20 a bottle, it will hold it's own with single barrel bourbon at twice the price. It's a little sweet for my taste (I like scotch), but it's so damn good.


Also, Cruzan rum.... check it out! Super cheap, but highly rated. Get it before they catch on and raise the price! Their Black Strap rum is awesome, as is the dark and 'clear' varieties... best widely available rum out there AFAIK.
