Even Bozo was impressed which might have been the highlight for me of 2017 or whenever that was, #internetrespectisthebest I scored a bottle of Midwinter today at the place not to be named. It and the BB are the two that have been on my wish list that I thought were somewhat reasonably attainable. One down, one to go.

Seemed to find some threads that made it seem like a couple hundred, while others related to auction houses were more like you’re saying.

November 25, 20205 yr Something similar to this? Buddy found this in his closet. His dad gave it to him and a bottle of Booker’s he got in an estate sale. He’s not a bourbon drinker.
November 25, 20205 yr I’ll trade you a ‘19 George T Stagg, a ‘20 Birthday Bourbon and a Rock Hill Farms for just one of them if that gives you an idea on value. Definitely interested. I’ve convinced myself that one is likely to stay in my possession as a showpiece. Had initially wanted to go the route of a cash sale to lessen the blow a Christmas puppy that’s due for pickup in a few weeks, but you definitely checked some boxes there. I can shoot you a message on here to discuss feasibility of logistics and whatnot if serious.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

November 25, 20205 yr Author Anyone know of a non FB way I could buy an EC18 for $200-225? Where are you located?
November 25, 20205 yr Author 1977 it appears Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAuction those. They will fetch a pretty penny.
November 25, 20205 yr Speaking of dusty bottles, a friend of mine found these unopened in his grandparent’s liquor cabinet. Had a small pour of the 60 year old Old Fitz...pure candy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 25, 20205 yr This is bullshit. When my granny died all we found was an empty bottle of peach schnapps and a crown Royal bottle with a few shots left in it.

November 25, 20205 yr Dusty hunters suggest hitting estate sales. I think there’s some sage advice there.
November 25, 20205 yr Last Grandma I have left is way too religious to hide that kind of devil’s brew in a closet for me.
November 25, 20205 yr not sure if this was originally posted here, but it's in line with the current topic. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/29/style/cecil-b-demille-liquor-dusty-hunters-whiskey.html
November 25, 20205 yr When my last grandmother died, I found a carton of Chesterfields. Would be happy to trade.

Grabbed a store pick of prairie bourbon instead.
November 25, 20205 yr Jealous. I’ve been moving through the sagamore calvados finish. Something about apple and whiskey that just suits me.
November 25, 20205 yr Just opened up some ancient age to mix in a drink. Pretty pretty good. That whole product line is fascinating to me. They got rid of the Ancient Ancient Age 10 Year due to limited supply and replaced it with Ancient Age 10 Star in order to keep the name out there. Supposed it will eventually return to the age statement, but for now it’s just a young tasting Blantons mash bill. Never had the straight up Ancient Age though. Regardless, that Ancient Ancient age is the only plastic bottle I’ve ever muled in my checked bag for someone. LolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 25, 20205 yr Just grabbed Angels Envy 2020 Cask Strength Little Book Chapter 4 (I just need to find Chapter 3) - It was part of a TL store combo 1792 Full Proof Then some various & sundry (Still, Bulleit eg)
November 25, 20205 yr Grabbed this. Will be interesting to compare to their Harbinger and some Balcones Baby Blue that I opened a few days ago.

November 25, 20205 yr Grabbed a 1792 12 year today.@billfromlaketravis you'll have to let me know how it is
November 25, 20205 yr Lynchburg Tennessee. Snagged some fun things from the bottle shop... should be a productive week out here!

I’m into a Old Scout Cask Strength Bourbon store pick right now. Poor Man Pappy for Thanksgiving. I’ll follow that with a double batch of PMP, and drink the leftovers. I’ve been so bourbon heavy lately. I better go rye next weekend. It won’t be 2019 Handy. I need to figure out my Christmas allotment before I pull the trigger on my one and only BTAC.

I remember some dumb Jack Daniels commercial where they’re burning the same type of pallets. Did you see any of the long rumored Jack SiB Barre Strength Rye?
November 25, 20205 yr Bah, no... wasn’t even aware of that pending release or I certainly would have asked, but I didn’t see any in the shop.

I’d imagine it was ‘rona delayed. I believe they submitted a label to the authorities, so it exists on paper. SiB rye is their best product in my opinion. If they made a barrel strength version, I’d buy at least 6.
November 25, 20205 yr Ready for Thanksgiving. Interested to try the single barrel store pick Buffalo Trace
November 25, 20205 yr Based on my last bottle of Blanton’s, you might have those arranged in the right order. What’s everyone’s recipe on Manhattans? I used to do 2:1 but found a bar manual that said 2.75 oz rye to .75 oz vermouth and I’m liking that a lot.

November 25, 20205 yr Is there a bottle of New Riff worth picking up? Seeing it everywhere here and haven’t tried it.- Straight Rye- SiB Rye- SiB Bourbon- Straight Bourbon- Peated Backset Rye

I thought Eagle Rare was a longer aged Buffalo Trace, is that not correct? Or does it being a store pick change it significantly? Stopped at a liquor store in Lockhart today that had a 1.75L Eagle Rare for $250, lulz Obviously didn’t buy. Did get a bottle of woodford double oak and bulleit 10 year though

Stopped at a liquor store in Lockhart today that had a 1.75L Eagle Rare for $250, lulz Obviously didn’t buy. Did get a bottle of woodford double oak and bulleit 10 year though Buffalo Trace has no age statement, but it’s estimated at 8-10 years. Probably 8 years in most cases. Maybe the store picks are aged a little longer. ER and BT are the same mashbill and proof, but I think they each have distinct notes. All of the store picks I’ve tasted have a milder to non-existent grassy note than the regular BT. I think I prefer the BT store picks to ER because they drink above their proof. ER tastes like a lower proof than 90.

November 26, 20205 yr Hey @Jimbaround, I just want to apologize now for not being more into bourbon with you and @huge years ago.
