I don’t know if it’s my palate/mood this evening, but I’m reaching for Evan Williams SiB over Larceny Barrel Proof.

Just missed on 2 different Larceny BPs a week or so ago. I'm ready to offer up a trade and risk the Corona, anyone got an extra? Or point me In the righ direction... Houston area.

I want to live in a world where they sell bourbon in a Target. Someday Texas, someday.

Well with many of these restaurants likely to go under, it’s not too much of a stretch to think that could happen here in the future.

Who would ever guess Kentucky is progressive

The Russell’s Reserve 10 year is very solid. Would be a good one to give to a bourbon newbie. Smooth but not too smooth and tasty.

Just scored a bottle of Eagle Rare. First one ever.

Where, if I might ask?  I've been to a dozen liquor stores around Dallas and the only one that had it was charging $50.

I’ve given up trying to find Eagle Rare in the wild, so I just buy it online. I see it pretty regularly online for $30-35/bottle plus shipping. Just buy a few bottles so it makes the shipping cost worthwhile. 

Saturday morning my wife was watching that cooking show Pioneer Woman.  Host was making a BBQ sauce of some sort and used 1 1/2 cups of BLANTONS in the recipe.  I almost fell out of my chair.  Who the heck uses 12 ounces of liquid gold in a damn BBQ sauce?

Picked one of my favorites, Jack Daniels SB/BP, and trying out a Woodford Rye store pick. I havent had a Woodford rye, yet.

Yeah of you can get it for the 30-35 range plus shipping that's not a bad deal. We pay $32 in Va. and I can find it at several stores fairly regularly.

Final verdict on Larceny Barrel Proof, it definitely runs hot, but it’s worth it at MSRP. Don’t pay a premium for it. 

I don’t care for the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof comparisons. LBP is a wheater while ECBP is a traditional mash bill. ECBP is 4-6 years older and  hell of a lot smoother. A good batch of ECBP might be the best pour you have all year. LBP is never going to do that, but I think future releases will be better.

Good review Bill, Considering that both ECBP and LBP are both Heaven Hill products, and this is the very first tri annual release for LBP,  I'm willing to take a wait and see attitude about the company that has turned out Henry McKenna10, and EC12 and now ECBP. I think they just might know what they're doing. Now, If I can just find a bottle...

Heaven Hill is definitely ironing out some kinks with Larceny Barrel Proof. I read about a single barrel release they did a few years back that was received very poorly. This release is said to be significantly better. 

Happy hunting. It’s a hot bottle right now. Every time I’m in the store, someone is asking about it.

Anybody come across a site called Cask Cartel ?  They keep popping up on my FB feed.  Only $229 for a whole bottle of actual 7 yr aged Buffalo Trace....  Thinking about a case......... anyone wanna goes halvsies...

My bourbon supply is definitely going to take a hit during this quarantine. I’ve been finishing off a few lesser barrels I’ve received as gifts to make the good stuff last longer.

I’m probably in the minority on this, but I like 1920 much better. Makes sense for me though, since I usually like higher proofs better. Speaking of, I need another bottle of Balcones Blue Corn.

You might be in the minority on this board, but much of the internet prefers 1920 over 1910.

I'd say liking Balcones Blue Corn puts you more in the minority than liking 1920 over 1910.

You're a brave man.

How good is Old Fitzgerald? I see it occasionally for $200.

I’ve only had the 15 yr, it’s really good at retail ($125ish) but I wouldn’t pay $200 for it.

Picked up some Luxardo cherries tonight based on the recommendations here. Can't believe I didn't buy these sooner. Highly addictive.

Drop a line on that A120. Curious how this year is turning out. EC/BP is one of my favorites.

Thanks for any help!

I can respect that. It has a certain flavor tacrossnthe line. To be honest haven’t even kept it in the rotation much. But outside of the rye which is awful I don’t have the same hate. 

scored a bottle of Elmer T Lee single barrel sour mash.

is Thursday night too early in the week to drink bourbon?

GG isn't doing curbside so I may have to risk the Rona for some hooch.  

TW shows next to nothing in stock.  

Spec’s Online is fine for beer/wine. Gets dicey on bourbon. The interface is kind of difficult to use.

Days mean nothing anymore. So no.
