I have on hand between 10-13 different bottles at all times in my personal bar at the house. They, at any given time, will range between Buffalo Trace and E. H. Taylor. I'm not a snob by any means, but I do love my whiskey. Most people can pick out way more things with their olfactory and taste buds than I can, an affliction I attribute to having had too many birthdays. Having said that, in my opinion I feel that this whiskey can hold it's own against whiskeys coming in at twice the price. In fact, as I was composing this review, I conducted a blind taste test between Traveller and Blantons and I'll be damned if I could honestly say that Blantons was better, and Blantons, around here, is at the $100 mark now. So, take a leap of faith, like I did, and buy a bottle of Traveller, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at its quality.
