Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Are the BTACs out yet for this year?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Cleaning out my granddads house getting things in order to put it up on the market I come across a 375ml of O'Shaughnessy American Stock Kentucky Whiskey Tax Stamp 1977... Not that much flavor to it kind of like it has just lost its body over time... Now the two mason jars of 20 yr old homemade wine on the other hand are awesome. :tu

p.s. follow me on twitter so I can DM you...I think something happened the last time you tried (like my dumb ass clicked the deny button.) |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Total Wine in Palm Beach Gardens still has last years Handy and Sazerac. Still no sign of this years Stagg.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Unless I've been scammed (and I'll know for sure when it gets here tomorrow) I am about to receive a bottle of Stagg.:noon:noon

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
This thread...I oughta...
I mentioned a week ago I am getting into bourbon again. I am also a scotch guy, and it has been my whiskey of choice for a while. A few months ago I was invited to a friends house for a poker game, and bourbon was the drink of choice. I'm very happy I went, because I found a love for bourbon again. Over the course of the last week, I've read this thread (sheer awesomeness BTW) along with some other online info to help me make good choices for my purchases. Here's my current stash: Woodford Reserve Knob Creek Eagle Rare (10) Not listed is a recently polished off bottle of Bulleit. :) The excitement for the release of the BTAC got the better of me, and I called my local liquor store to ask if they had any George T. Stagg. Luckily, they just got "a couple" bottles in today, and they're holding one for me. :banger He said $60, which sounds like a good price, but this is the first time I'm venturing into a limited bourbon, so IDK. I'm headed there now to pick it up. Will probably pick up another bottle while there, either Evan Williams SB, or Van Winkle 12. If not, I may pick out something else. :) I don't know if I should thank you guys or not??!?!! ;) |

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I need some help with something and I know this is the correct place to ask.
I fully realize that Jim Beam is not even close to top shelf stuff but here goes. My father recently gave me two bottles of Jim Beam, unopened and in the boxes, from 1976. One is a special 'bicentennial edition' with a Norman Rockwell painting on the front (painting is called Pipe and Bowl), 4/5's size. The other is also 4/5's but is a 'collector's edition volume XI' featuring a James Lockhart image of a squirrel on the front. So the big question- are these things worth anything? If they are not, I'll open one for my 40th next year. If they are, maybe I'll trade 'em for smokes or something. Any info you guys might be able to offer up would be greatly appreciated. http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r...g?t=1289355593 |

While they didn't have the 12, they did have one bottle of the Pappy Van Winkle 23, and it was $169 (might have been $179, but I don't think so). I couldn't bring myself to buy it (as I don't feel I have the palate to appreciate it), but from what I've seen, that seemed like a good price. I asked if they got any Eagle Rare 17, as I likely would have bought it, but they did not. I saw a bottle of Handy Sazerac behind the counter, but didn't jump to buy it as I don't know much about it (not that I know much about the GTS except for the rave reviews here and elsewhere :)). |

Hell Yeah, guys, some awesome pick ups. I'm still not able to find anything but Weller here. If anyone runs into some Eagle Rare or Handy or Sazerac or Stagg, shoot me a PM, I'll be happy to buy some.

I have noticed several Olde World sites that actually have various BTACs from years gone by but you got to be ready to pony up the coin. |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Enjoying some Eagle Rare 10 tonight!
|
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Just joined Straightbourbon.com anyone else a member over there? It looks like a wealth of information for newbs and vets alike.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I tried a little Jefferson's Reserve and Elijah Craig 18 year old last weekend, and I was impressed. See, I'm more of a beer drinker and am uninitiated to bourbon, Scotch, etc. I picked up a bottle of Woodford Reserve today and tried a little bit and liked that as well. Oh no, here we go! Another thing to spend my money on!;)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Picked up a bottle of Eagle Rare 10yr last night gonna have a pour of it after supper I think. Also going to to check out 2 more stores in town. One I used to be a regular at and the other I have never been to before so maybe I'll find something else new.

IMO, Woodford is the best of those three by a country mile, but that's another matter. :D |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Had a pour of the Eagle Rare 10yr last night. The nose and the taste were both fairly sweet almost creamy but the finish had a strong oak taste and was kind of bitter.
|
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Oh man I love me some Eagle Rare 10 yr! But I think I found a new favorite a couple weeks ago, Russell Reserve 10 yr. That stuff was a flavor bomb for me, I love it! And it's about the same price as the Eagle Rare.

As of yet Pappy is one of those I have been unable to find. Congrats to you sir :tu |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Thanks Justin, I have not yet tried the 20 year old I have tried the 12 and 15 tho and they were both GREAT. :banger
|
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Picked up and had a pour of Russell Reserve 90 on Saturday think I'll have another one tonight
|
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I just found a bottle of Pappy 20 today but did not buy it. A new "Total Wine" opened up, not too far from me and the price is $115. That seems high to me but I am really not sure what the going price is for Pappy 20 now days.

I haven't had any of the Pappys. I REALLY REALLY want to try the 15 year. I hear it's the best of the Pappys. |

I just picked up another 750 of the Weller 12yr. Great stuff for the price (about $22 here), but it only comes out a few times a year. I love all things Weller. |

I paid 102.00 for the bottle here in WA state. |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Just picked me up a bottle of Elijah Craig 12. This will be my first time trying bourbon, I hope all goes well :) I usually drink scotch, so at least I got a head start.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Buffalo Trace for me tonight fellas!
