I can’t remember the 2017-03 release. I’m sure a poster can help me out here. 2018-03 was Kentucky Chew. Phenomenal. 2019-03 was Country Ham. There’s a good chance 2020-03 is going to be really good.

I'd sub in OF Rye for Rittenhouse, but both are worthy. I'd also mention regular ol' BT as a daily drinker.

I've never paid less than $50, but I still thought it was worth it. Second the motion to place Buffalo Trace as an Everyday Drinker.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The Dickel tasted like someone dropped a bottle of multivitamins into a bottle of Jim Beam. Worst bottle I've ever had, even as a mixer. Hopefully your experience is better.

March 25, 20205 yr I have a theory that Dickel sent a sample to Whiskey Advocate that wasn't Dickel. There's no way that the 2019 Whiskey of the Year.
March 25, 20205 yr Today in the quarantine: Steaks, burgers/hot dogs for the kids, and LE Elliotts Select Four Roses
March 25, 20205 yr Kroger has packer choice briskets for $1.99 on sale. One will be smoked this weekend. Edit: wrong thread. And no bourbon yet!
March 25, 20205 yr Browsing target bourbon section, saw the latest angels envy cellar collection tawny port release sitting with the normal bourbon, no price. Took it to the register to check out and it wouldn't ring up as anything, so I offered up 50 bucks since that is the normal bourbon price. She said how about 20 and have a happy quarantine? Fuck yes to this day

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Here in Va. it's easier to find ER at $32 in many of our state run stores, but almost impossible to find BT @ $28, and ER is the better pour all day in my opinion. I can't even remember that last time I saw BT in the wild.
March 26, 20205 yr After some research 1792 BiB is getting increasingly hard to find. @Godzillatron might get his amendment in the BiB category.

March 26, 20205 yr Well I broke my own bargain guidelines today, and reached for the Pikesville over Rittenhouse. Pikesville is so good, I think it's still under priced in the low $40 range.

March 28, 20205 yr Every year, I get sucked in on this for $125.And every year, I’m not mad.Delicious.
March 28, 20205 yr Little Book is in Amarillo, will run back into town in the morning and grab it. I have a 2015-01 Big Man, Small Batch, wonder how much difference there is between the two? Edited March 28, 20205 yr by RMac5

March 28, 20205 yr Just got an email back from the best bourbon bar in town and they’re selling off stock next week... let’s see what we can secure! Recommend calling your local haunts to be sure.
March 28, 20205 yr I don’t know if it’s my palate/mood this evening, but I’m reaching for Evan Williams SiB over Larceny Barrel Proof.
March 29, 20205 yr Breaking my rye cherry tonight with some Old Forester rye. Wanted to go with a more budget option before moving up to the pricier bottles, but in my experience OF delivers great bang for your buck.

March 29, 20205 yr Alright, I've always been too lazy to figure out how to post images here, it has to come from something like imgur right? Drank some old rip 10 tonight with the in laws.
