Slick! I was really curious as to why they were all over secondary, Especially at that low price point, so I took a shot.

    Having a pour of my favorite in honor of my girl. Hanna gave me 16 great years. RIP girl. Hope you finally got that fucking squirrel.

I don’t get out much any more. This bourbon craze and all of the accompanying idiots that camp out at 6am at TW every day have totally killed the hunt for me. But I got a call about an hour ago from a guy that hasn’t called me in months, maybe years, and he has the Old Elk infinity blend with my name on it. Every dog has his day fellas.

Bert’s house or Buffalo Trace’s Vault?

In this market, I’m confused how an unlimited supply of funds even makes that possible. That collection looks like a full time job… maybe their butler’s

Penelope Toasted Texas Select is a interesting way to guss up some young MGP, but the age plays out. I’d give a B. Happy to try some more of it. Unhappy I dropped 70 bucks on it. 

Heading to Old Forrester, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Bardstown, and Heaven Hill next week.  First time going. Any pro tips?

Tear some shit up?! Hit the gift shops 

Get to Heaven Hill early and you've got a good shot at getting a good bottle.

Eat at Bardstown.  Their food is outstanding and go to the library when you are there.

 

Tried WT One tonight… my takeaways are as unclear as this picture, but I lean towards meh. 9be150ad041cf2bae091db0ca2dfe867.jpg


Anyone else had a pour?

Finally found it, paid more than I should have, but I haven’t seen it in at least 3 years, and it was my favorite before things lost their fucking mind. Good for nostalgia, will drink it rarely until I find it again.

Uh, Taco, is that your personal collection in the background?

Sorry if it has already been discussed here, but what happened to Evan Williams SB?

I thought it was good, not as good as the 17 yr Bib

Has anybody noticed a wide range in quality of EHT Small Batch? The ones from the Spec’s drop in December seem to be much better than I remember. 

Cracked a ‘21 late Dec drop Small Batch from Total Wine and it got rocked by the ‘19 Single Barrel I have open.  Small Batch is still a fantastic easy drinker tho.

“Won” this in a raffle. Should I explore trade options or is it a keeper? I’ve read mixed reviews. Really just looking for someone to give me an honest, first hand accounting of the product.

I thought it was good, not as good as the 17 yr Bib 

I’m not saying it was bad… but for $38 a pour I was disappointed. Just an all around mediocre mouthfeel and finish. The 17 is indeed superior.
Nvm. Just read the five word review a little up thread.

Disappointing. These bottles were available and I feel like I should’ve gone with these instead for a little bit more. 1cd27ed60aec9215de938d388503adba.jpg
(This is a large thread and I’m just sifting through it. I’m sure these have already been discussed.) 88d4384cfd19f8ad21c85110fcf3c323.jpg
If anybody can recap it would be greatly appreciated.

I’m not a Barrell fan at all. Never had anything from them that did anything more than meh, and had several that were blah. I’m pretty sure UTrich and a couple others are very big fans.


Tldr; I would pick the Penelope over the Barrell

Barrell is ok but imo overpriced. I currently have a bottle of the Barrell Infinite Barrel and it's ok, but I usually find myself reaching for something else when it's bourbon time.

The 16 you mean?  I’m saying it’s bad, and for $38 it’s a damn crime.

I might be in the minority, but I love Hancock's Reserve. 

It has a lot going on for a 90 proofer- For the price, I vast prefer RHF, but it’s nice to have both.

Hancock’s is my favorite…88.9 proofer?  Only bourbons I’ve had under 90 that I liked better were Stitzel-Weller Rebel Yell and a couple 86 proof pre-fire Heaven Hill bottlings.

I probably still prefer Hancock's. 

Let me put it this way, I give away Blanton's as gifts. Nobody is touching my Hancock's Reserve except for me.

BT mashbill 2 IMO

1. RHF

how much is “more”?  if you wanna venmo me $100 i can go buy you 2 bottles + shipping to you.  it’s at cvs and target here. 3 years is a long time. 

I got this signed VY photo available for trade if anyone is interested. It's a 16x20 photo (not a poster), and has authentication for the signature. It's worth About $125-150 if sold on ebay, but I figured someone here may want to trade a bottle for it. It has plastic covering it for protection right now, but it would look awesome on a wall with a frame around it. Hit me up if you're interested, I'm in NW Houston, but go downtown occasionally.

I absolutely love bourbon but yeah I'm not gonna wait at 6am for the chance to maybe get a bottle nobody wanted two years ago. I'm just gonna drink what I have and maybe venture out to tequila.

Iberostar Coral Level in Cancun has access to several of the Clase Azul’s as part of their all-inclusive package and it absolutely changed my mind on tequila. I’ve probably drank more tequila in the last 7 months than I did in the previous 15 years. Has greatly helped me to preserve my bourbon stock until these idiots move on to craft gin or reverse osmosis bong water

Azul is super drinkable, but it has a ton of additives in there. If you’re interested in branching out LMK and I can point you in the right direction.

HG - Here in MD you won’t find it anywhere, even at the tater shops, so the price is whatever secondary will yield.

I’m all ears. I keep a bottle of Herradura Ultra Anejo around the house too and I’ve been griped at by tequila turds that it’s not “real tequila”. Whatever that means

I had some TX bourbon whiskey last night. Never had it before. Very tasty. Highly recommend. So much so I'm going to go find a bottle of it to have at home. 

Is this sarcasm?

No, I liked it. My go to is 4 Roses Small Batch Select but I liked it. I know nothing about it but I was over at a friend's house watching us push in Barnes ass and it tasted good.

It’s very inoffensive and tolerable.  Not actively bad like many other brands working through Texas angle.
