  • I’m exhausted, but she’s basically done... just a few touch ups and a second lamp... then I get to focus on balancing out the left side. Been very thankful to have this as a distraction during COVID,

He’s being dramatic, not to mention extremely late to the party. They got bought out by Diageo over a month ago. 

One might say “ballgame, balconies”…..if one were so inclined

yea, some prices were normal, some fucked.  only reason I grabbed that m10 rye for what he was charging is because it was under what its going for secondary but it was more than retail.

Really enjoying this “open a random box and pull a random bottle” approach. Tonight is Michter’s Toasted which is better than I remembered.

Cheers boys [emoji1634]

Which toasted one? I think the sour mash is my least favorite. Then the bourbon. Then the rye. And I’m not typically a rye fanboy

The toasted rye is the best thing they make short of the really crazy stuff like 20/25.

This one was bourbon but pretty sure I have all three. The rye is indeed quite strong, and rye IS my thing.

They gave no information in the description as to where it was sourced from. 

Opened last night.  It is ok.  Good nose and finish but a little medicinal undertone.  Will let it sit for a bit and try again.

Whats a good trade for a eht bp? I have some good bottles but not that one. 

JD Coy Hill or Four Roses SmBLE with a kicker, younger Old Fitz or good Stagg Jr picks straight up, or if you have a Stagg/THH/Birthday you could trade down for that EHTBP plus another nice bottle or two.

I am doing a trade today for one.  Took a Weller Full Proof store pick and a OWA store pick.  Secondary value of the most recent EHT BP is $500-$600

There's a lot of love on this board for both of those bottles, and those prices are perfectly reasonable.  I personally don't love the 1897 or the 1920 as much as many seem to.  I prefer the 1910. 

But buy one or both, try 'em, and see what you think.  Part of the fun is trying different bourbons and ryes, and figuring out what tastes good to you.  Cheers!

Had two of the 1920 tonight in a steakhouse. I really wasn’t impressed, glad I tried it out and about before I bought a bottle. 
 

im not a huge high ABV fan though, prefer the smoother bourbons that don’t have a lot of bite, not sure mine is a fair review. I like to drink mine neat and don’t want anything harsh.  I do like W12, Blantons and Basil Hayden for a reference. YMMV.

Thanks. I think I'll pass on these. I have plenty of bourbon right now, so don't really need another bottle... especially if it's not a top of the line pour. 

#17831

Hell of a good day.
The 4 roses that we picked back in July finally came in and a couple of distillery only Frey Ranch bottles arrived safely.

Found some good ones this week.  There was a third ER SP 375ml that I already finished.  I planned on giving the other two away as gifts but it was so good I’m keeping them.  Bah humbug.

I finally tracked down a bottle of BRT-02 today. Many thanks to my bourbon brother in arms. 

No love for BRT-01?
#17837

RIP to the rye I measure all other rye by. This will crush lesser Thomas Handy years, many MGP Old Scouts and you can still grab one around $350 secondary.  Batch 2 is also pretty good and you still see those on the shelf here and there or about $275 secondary.  I don’t think these ever recovered from being a $115 rye when that was unheard of and it’s kept the value down permanently.

There are some twins picks willet purple tops out there and they’ve been alluding me. I’m still trying to find my way into the right groups to get to try some of these amazing bottles that come and go.

My guy just texts me a spelling quiz on something easy like “eluding” and then I go pick up the bottles at retail.  Easy peasy.

It was a subtle reference to a post a couple before mine….

I liked it quite a bit, but I already found a couple bottles of BRT-01. -02 had alluded me. 



Im glad it caught your eye!

Didn’t realize we were giving Bill hell, carry on.  But back on groups, they don’t really help find bottles like this.  It’s more of a spend tons of money and get bottles at retail or buy them at secondary game.  Either way you are paying.  

#17846

This is damn good.
This should be released nationwide but it’s only available at the distillery.
Hope that changes in the future.
They are doing great things there and with their recent windfall of getting bought by Campari for $600 million is hopefully going to mean bigger and better things to come.

It’s good, as expected for 16 year MGP.

Yeah I’m enjoying it. If you’re not a fan of the spicier/oaky profile you might want to stay away given the $250 price tag.

I have a high rye 10yr Mgp redemption that is pretty spicy and was $90, and I don’t think I like it much. That’s good advice on the Rebecca creek. Some more cowboy bourbon just dropped. Tempted to buy bc I love it but it’s so expensive at $243 after tax. I think I may just need to recalibrate how much I’m willing to pay if I want stuff. I may just need to accept $250-$300 for a weller FP or StaggJr
