Haha! That brings up a good question: "What bottle consistently drains the quickest at the home bar?"
Mine is Eagle Rare.

Asbach 3 yr empties out the fastest in our bar. Been trying to support Uncle Nearest products recently. I like the little kick to the 1856


Eagle rare used to be my daily but havent seen that in Milwaukee for awhile now

Used to be Buffalo Trace but now it's probably Mellow Corn.

I bounce around a lot depending on what I’m in the mood for any given night so things tend to empty out pretty evenly. I’d say my most replaced bottles are probably:

Cheap:
Wild Turkey 101
Woodford reserve rye
Glenfiddich 12
Green spot
Hibiki Japanese Harmony

Less cheap:
EH Taylor small batch
Woodinville rye
Macallan 12 double cask
Redbreast 12
Nikka pure malt

Sorry, I think I broke the question.

Was finally able to track down a bottle of Woodford Reserve Very Fine Rare Bourbon and I'm disappointed. Prior to this I'd had 3 different WR variations and enjoyed each one of them immensely. However, this does not justify the price (even at MSRP). Had a lot of oak and leather to it, which weren't terrible, but compared to the other 3 WR's I'd had, this is by far the worst.

Wow, good news, but bad news. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll save myself the ridiculous markup on it in CA and stick to non allocated stuff. :cheers:

Man I love the VFRB. It's oaky and complex and immensely drinkable for me. I've been slow sipping mine to make it last

I'm hit or miss when it comes to rye's but got a sample of this from a buddy and was in the mood for more today so I stopped by Total Wine to pick up a bottle. No spice, just mint, and very tasty.
