[QUOTE="Dmc707, post: 4339992, member: 54876"] I have a handful of bottles of whiskey/bourbon to purchase for some great people who have helped me out this year Given that I’m not much of a spirits connoisseur, and don’t know much about them, (but am a gun guy and ex USAR) I was going to just pick up 4 bottles of Hooten Young for distribution. My attorney would like the military tie in and my employer(s) also raise lots of money for Wounded Warrior and we subcontract with a major company that has ties to the veterans community. Therefore I thought Norm Hooten’s brand would be a good fit. Plus half the battle of a presentation booze is getting something in a bottle that looks good on someone’s bookshelf in the background when making Zoom calls So Smaller brand with a military back story. — check Nice looking bottle for the visuals — also, check But enthusiast reviews are lackluster - kind of reminds me of reviews of Crown Royal or something. But at close to a hundy a bottle, I’d rather not pay for something that’s just a light mixer , you should be able to get something an enthusiast can take a sip and enjoy neat I would think So asking for any recommendations- and since I’m getting multiples, kind of wanted to keep it at around a C-note per bottle or less with loose specifications of Rather be from a distillery or brand that’s not super common - basically nothing you could buy in a pint bottle Some kind of military tie in or backstory would be nice but not a strict requirement Interested in hearing you guys and gals input Part of me says to just go with the first thought- Hooten Young has the cool backstory which would appeal to my target audience, a great bottle and label that looks good to amateurs - and is probably just fine for a guy who appreciates all that and might only drink a highball or 3 every 6 months The value side of me also thinks, - that’s a lot of money for a hopped up Crown clone when Buffalo Trace, if it can be found, is a similar price point and is very highly regarded [/QUOTE]
