I went ahead and tried Total, nation wide, but the only store that has it (and in store pickup only) was Miami. I need to get my hands on 6 bottles, for medicinal purposes only, of course. Now, if someone were to find several bottles of the Dickel BiB they don't want (yeah right), I would be interested. Just sayin. Today I did find Four Roses Small Batch and the SB Select in Shrewsbury Mass. Put a couple of bottles of each on hold. It's 28 miles to the store, but I am thirsty :dr and will be headed there tomorrow to pick up a few bottle of each. Thanks! |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I would suggest the Four Roses Single Barrel over the Small Batch and Small Batch Select, Scott. So much better than the SB, and just as good as the Select and $15-20 cheaper most places. Thank me later. :D
Only place I have seen the Dickel BiB around here is at the United Center is a whiskey bar before a Blackhawks game, and there obviously only available for a pour. |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Local store just put up a post about an 11 year EC store pick. Wasn't gonna wait for that one to sell out, ran right over, $34 for 11 years seems like a fair price :)

This is so weird! On a whim I picked this up at the store today. I was torn between this and Wild Turkey Rare Breed but ultimately went with Four Roses. This stuff is awesome!! Maybe next time I try small batch out as well!! |

A pour from the Infinity bottle last night. Right now it averages just above 116 proof. Tasty and rich, but I still like my 125+ proof stuff best.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
OK, no joy on the Four Roses Single Barrel. I called last night and they said they would hold two bottles for me. I drove almost 30 miles and when I got there they said they were out of stock. I was slightly perturbed, but the manager said he would give me a 10% discount on two bottles, but they won't be in stock until July 2. I'm good with that. Picked up some Four Roses Small Batch and a bottle of Balcones Texas Single Malt to try. I am not an expert/experienced taste tester per se, but I do like to "taste" different whiskeys and bourbons and enjoy them immensely.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I am not sure we have any "experts" here, Scott, but a lot of other "enjoyers". Cheers! :al
Let us know your thoughts on the ones you picked up after you've cracked them. |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Well, since it was 5 o'clock somewhere, I cracked open the Balcones for a taste. This is my first review, of anything, so forgive me if it sounds off.
After letting it sit neat for a few minutes, I had a sip or two. This Whisky has a very rich body/aroma, almost caramel like. At 53% by volume, it's a strong drink neat. I then splashed a little water in the glass and that brought the temp down a bit, but it still smelled great. I gave that a minute and then put an ice cube in the glass and waited another minute. The cube seemed to bring out a lot more flavor and made this a more enjoyable drink. Truth be told, it will take me a while to get through the bottle, but the Four Roses Small Batch will be forth coming. |

Every time you go to the store pick up 2-4 bottles, eventually they'll all be hard to finish because you'll keep grabbing pours of different stuff

I really need to stop!! I live in PA which has state run liquor stores. I’m working an hour away in Allentown and they have a store with a “bourbon boutique” saw these for $30 so I grabbed them. Almost bought Larceny Barrel Proof but passed!! |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Last night had a pour of High West Bourye thanks to the Texas Santa. ;)
