81 wild turkey. Can't beat it. Enjoyed thoroughly over the weekend. And still now.
Interesting. I finally received my prize winnings from Fantasy Football, and I thought I would spend it on Blanton's. So Elijah 18 > Blanton's? Now that I've acquired the taste I want to keep a fine sippin' bourbon on hand for special occasions.

IMO, I enjoy the Elijah 18 a bit more, because it has a bit more bite (a good bite of course). Either way you can't go wrong.
There's something cool about seeing the hand written date on the bottle too. The last couple bottles I've had were barreled 21 years ago. Hard not to appreciate something that was crafted by someone over 2 decades ago.
IIRC, Blanton's has the dump date and the proof hand written on the bottle, but they don't actually give you any indication as to how long it was aged.
Might do Elijah though, since the last couple pages have many mentions.
Correct on Blanton's not giving the length of aging. It's not standardized; Blanton's is dumped when it's ready.
Good article in this past weekend's WSJ on the comeback of Manhattens.

In order to preserve my beloved Nugget Nectar (beer), I am going to pick up some nice bourbon this week. Leaning towards knob creek since I haven't had it in forever. Might do Elijah though, since the last couple pages have many mentions.
