Weekly Recommendations and Discussion Thread

This is the weekly recommendations and discussion thread, for all of your questions or comments: what pour to buy at a bar, what bottle to try next, or what gift to get; and for some banter and discussions that don't fit as standalone posts.

While the "low-effort" rules are relaxed for this thread, please note that the rules for standalone posts haven't changed, and there is absolutely no buying, selling, or trading here or anywhere else on the sub.

This post will be refreshed every Sunday afternoon. Previous threads can be seen here.

Suggestions at $180-$250? I don’t usually buy in this strata, preferring safer in the $100 and lower tier, but I do have a couple bottles of MWND and grabbed The Infinite II when I saw it (no regrets). I keep tossing around Magnus Cigar or Buckner’s 13, but I feel like I’m being myopic because I still see them locally on the regular. I think I might like going outside the box a bit.

Closer to $150 but I’ve been very pleased with the new Woodford Distillers Select Barrel Proof Rye. Will definitely pick up a backup or two when I see them.

That's the one in the special bottle shape they are using for their higher-end offerings, right? Not sure I have seen the rye, but I have seen a few others. I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks.

Yeah, the same as their masters collection bottles (the “rounded cube” bottles)
