Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Sounds to me like you still don't have nearly enough :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I picked up two more of the MM BEP.... Bob, if you run into that, it is better than both the BRTs (and all except FAE-02) in my humble opinion.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
So I sent my friend in NC, a huge bourbon drinker, a pic of my meager collection. He sends me pics of his stuff that would put some liquor stores to shame. He just sent me a pic of a bottle of Very Old Fitz he got as a retirement gift.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
And now he just sent me a pic of his last haul from KY. Wow. I’d blow my savings on what he got. Multiples of Weller 12, WLW, and plenty others.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I suspect if they're getting WLW from Kentucky they probably did blow some savings. You can occasionally get lucky at a distillery there for certain special releases, but in general people who live in KY tend agree it's easier to get allocated stuff in other states. That being said, KY and DC are the only places where a store is legally allowed to buy from a collector and resell the bottle, so literally everything ever is available, but they all come with a fitting price tag

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Picked up a (small) bottle of regular makers to compare to the private selection I got

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I opened up the GD Hand Selected Barrel tonight. It's pretty damned tasty. I'm not the greatest at getting tasting notes, but I get cherry, caramel, and tiramisu on the nose. The palate is sweet cinnamon apple and a pleasant peppery note. I'd pick up another bottle of this if the price was right.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Ah I see, sounds like it could be an older bottling of Weller, in which case see above about spending your savings in KY :r
But seriously that's pretty cool, I was never much of a fan of Weller 12, I found a bottle for $60 a few years ago which felt expensive at the time but boy was I wrong. I have a friend with a closet full of old Weller stuff, but somebody told him how much it's worth so he wanted close to $400 for an old handle of 107. It's probably low for what he could get for it, but I'm sure not paying that |

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I agree with Ben, James, the Dickel picks are pretty inconsistent, I'm also glad you got a good one.
Met some old hockey teammates out at a burger & bourbon place, and tried these 3 "new to me" pours: Larceny Barrel Proof A121. Doesn't hold a candle to Elijah Craig BP. Barrell Bourbon Batch 19 (2019). Sweet and complex, but not as good as Batch 28. Maker's Mark Cask Strength. Meh. Gimmie the wood finished series or a high proof single barrel over this. So what to do after that? Come home for some old faithful Knob Creek 102 proof single barrel. :r https://i.imgur.com/0DGWQn6.jpg |
