I don’t really experiment much.

Twenty years ago I was strictly Blantons. It started getting tough to find. A few years ago I was Buffalo Trace, it’s was getting hard to find.
Was on Elijah Craig for last two years, needing a change.

Went back to looking for Buffalo trace. Guy recommended Broken Thorn. It’s ok.
I could stick with it for a few months.

Any others with a similar profile?

Woodford Reserve. Go to if I can’t get Elijah Craig.

I can make you a bunch of samples to try and get them hand delivered to Dallas proper.

I would strongly recommend trying a few things before you buy….. your going to be looking for something 90 proof and from Kentucky.

Unfortunately every distiller has a flavor profile and ANYTHING Buffalo Trace will be hit or miss…

If you’d be willing to step up to 100(ISH) proof, the options are many, many, many….

How do you typically drink your bourbon, ice, coke, water, straight, neat?

Listen to me!

I got sooo tired of chasing Weller/Buffalo Trace B.S. I always asked the question what is close to those whiskey’s taste wise.

Again listen to me, I drink nightly…and love my evening drink over ice. The closest and even better is Larceny. It is my go to and extremely happy.

Larceny is on point! Also go their site and read about the history.


As close as you can get.

These all come from the Buffalo Trace Distillery..

Blantons
Buffalo Trace
Eagle Rare
Weller
EH Taylor

I also like the wheated bourbons and everything from Buffalo Trace.

I like Elijah Craig as well.

Woodford reserve is good

While it seems to be a lot different than what I typically like I really like the Balcones Pot Still

Jefferson’s Ocean though is one of my favorites that’s not from buffalo trace.

Early Times Bottled in Bond
Michtures American Whiskey
these are subs for Buffalo Trace.

No Blantons, buy John J Bowmans single barrel or Jack Daniels single Barrel

No Elmer T Lee. buy Evan Williams Single Barrel or Michtures Sour Mash

No Eagle Rare, buy Russell 10 year or Tin Cup 10 year or Widow Jane

Let me be clear, for the half gallon pricing as well Larceny cannot be beat. It is a pre rush Buffalo trace/Weller pricing as well. Don’t chase the hype, it took me years to find this replacement.

You will thank me later.

Walking Stick is very close to Blantons and usually pretty easy to find.

Weller is a wheated bourbon, if that's what you like try Makers Mark. Old Emmer was ok at best.

Oddly Buffalo Trace bourbons are easy to find in Wyoming for us but Weller is not. Go figure.

Kings Liquor in Frisco is where I bought mine a few weeks ago. I bought two bottles and struck up a conversation with the owners. We got to talking about the Buffalo Trace whiskeys. I mentioned how hard finding Buffalo Trace was. I guess since I bought $100 worth, he asked if I wanted a bottle of BT, I said, "you got one"? He went in the back and bought out a bottle, Think it was $39.00?

Makers and Weller taste nothing alike imo. Larceny is a decent replacement. I don't mind Bibb and Tucker or Heaven Hill either.

That's who we're doing the barrel pick of Buffalo Trace for, a buddy of mine knows the owner of Pinkie's.

If you like wheated bourbon, Lone Elm is the best I’ve had. I’m an antique weller fan and I can say that with ease.

Try Traveler, Specs had it the other day for 33.00. I also am liking Milam and Greene, Specs had three varieties of this one too 40.00-60.00. Basil Hayden was my go to prior to BT.
