Where would you find  Colorado bourbon in NYC?
Breckenridge can be found everywhere stranahans is less common but beware some batches of stranahans are good and some aren't

Colorado bourbons are my favorite (Breckenridge and stranahans)
If it ain't from Kentucky, it ain't bourbon.  :-)

Does anyone knows where I can find Glen Ord 30 year? Time was I could get it for $200/bottle (750 ml) shipped from Long Island, now I can't find it at all.

Anyone know where I can get Elijah Craig 18yr, 20yr, or 21 yr?

I was told they stopped making 18 but stores I've been to only have the 12 in stock. Anyone see the others recently?
Thanks

anyone know about whether this is kosher, or if it is something that would be worth trying?
