March 30, 20205 yr 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.

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.
March 30, 20205 yr 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?
March 31, 20205 yr Picked one of my favorites, Jack Daniels SB/BP, and trying out a Woodford Rye store pick. I havent had a Woodford rye, yet.

We pay $32 in Va. and I can find it at several stores fairly regularly.
March 31, 20205 yr 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. Edited March 31, 20205 yr by billfromlaketravis

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... Edited March 31, 20205 yr by RaylanGivens

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.
March 31, 20205 yr 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...
March 31, 20205 yr 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.

April 1, 20205 yr Picked up some Luxardo cherries tonight based on the recommendations here. Can't believe I didn't buy these sooner. Highly addictive.

April 2, 20205 yr I will fucking fight you if you don't appreciate a dram of blue corn bourbon. Let's get it on. Has a funk that i do not appreciate.
April 2, 20205 yr Sigh, at least we ran off the Dickel defenders/apologists. I’m out on Balcones. I’ll try the wheater if they ever reopen bars.
