Always grab two bottles... I managed to grab two bottles of Bookers 2023-02 Apprentice Batch last night on my way home. Haven't gotten to where I can open a bottle yet. -(P |

Glad you like the WV, Bob. :tu

I didn't like the Apprentice batch as much as Tea, Pinkie's or Charlie's. I'll make a real review after it's been open 3 weeks or so, but I will likely only grab one backup of this one Tony |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
A couple recent pickups.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I just finished off a bottle of the Wilderness Trail single barrel last week while on "vacation" last week. I have had some very good ones to some there were not bad just on the different or funky side. It is one that I will usually try to pickup if a local store has a single barrel pick.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Curious to hear your thoughts on the Maker's. Bob. I was there when they released it at my local but I have lots of other stave finished MMs so I passed.
I had some 1792 FP sib to celebrate 1776. ;) https://i.imgur.com/d6kFy3Z.jpg |

Did some hunting today. Hit up a few stores in Ann Arbor. Snagged a bottle of Old Grand Dad 114 at total wine, otherwise it was a bust. The few other stores I stopped at weren’t much better. If the had anything decent, it was overpriced. EC store pick for $90, the small Eagle Rare for $50. I’ll pass. One had a MM stave finished, but they didn’t list the recipe. It was all question marks. Again, $90. Yea, I’m good. |

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I hate this thread ! Why did I even click on it????
Every time I look at it, I feel the need to go out and buy another bottle of something. My cabinet is full of tasty selections, as I don't drink a lot and my friends don't drink Whiskey (yet). Luckily, I am over in Greece right now and the US made stuff, while available in very limited quantities, is super expensive. When I get back, I'll be compelled to search for a bottle of that Makers Mark Private Selection. Cheers !!!! |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I'm glad the MM is a winner, Bob. I actually ordered the Maker's Mark Generations of Proof Private Selection, it has 375ml bottles of the '19, '20 and '21 Private Selection batches. Hoping they're good too.
I had MM on the mind for sure, grabbed the new LE to go with my cigar last night. https://i.imgur.com/jaQDnGr.jpg |

All I could muster last night was the latest Booker's. -(P https://i.imgur.com/zehRKGm.jpg |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
So Tom, what’s your thoughts about the last two Bookers releases? I have a feeling that’s what I’m likely to find anytime soon. I can’t remember which one wasn’t well received.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Bob, for my palate, Charlie's (23-01) is very good, quintessential Booker's. The Apprentice (23-02) has not been open 3 weeks yet, but early on it's my least favorite batch since Donohoe (21-01), and not something I'm looking to have more than 1 of.
Had a pour last night of something I'm glad I have a backup of (Thanks Mike). Love the Barrell Batch 28. https://i.imgur.com/dkdcSBU.jpg |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Thanks Tom. I’ll continue to look for it.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Snagged a bottle of 4 Roses SBS to add to the collection. Checked a few stores to see if they had anything new. Nothing much of interest. Did find out the MM BEP hasn’t been released yet in Michigan. Has to do with our distribution process.
There’s one store near me that’s got a great selection, but crazy prices. No wonder the shelves are still full. |
