Where in NY can I get Gentleman Jack and Basil Hayden for a good price?

Order a new shipment from LA. You can try getting a few guys here together and splitting a case or 2. Purim is coming up after all..

I love how people are so quick to put down a hashgocha with no basis.
Are you aware of the fact that Rabbi Akiva Niehaus works for the CRC and literally wrote the book on sherry casks in halacha?
Are you aware that rabbi fishbane,  is the head of the CRC and is also the very well respected head of the AKO?
You have no idea of what you speak,  admittedly have no intention or interest in researching the facts,  but based on anecdotal evidence are happy to put down an organization comprised of chashuva talmedei chachamim.
I have no problem with disagreement and alternate approaches.  I don't think uninformed put downs is tzugepast for the DDF community.
+1. can't believe I missed this argument.

I try not to sell my chametz, so it's not a good time to get a case.

I'm not that into getting myself and others drunk. I prefer to keep my interest in bourbon dignified. Anyway, got a 375ml Maker's Mark for $18. What can you do?

Most people who don't sell chametz sell whisky because its not chametz gamur
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Besides, IINM we're discussing whisky in general, many of which are mostly/fully grain (e.g. scotch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_whisky)
