Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Don’t hate me, but I enjoyed Apprentice batch. So much so, I bought a backup bottle. Can we still be friends? :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Local chain has had Kentucky Owl Batch 12 in their rare bourbon case for the better part of two years. Apparently my store got a case (6) in 2022 and hadn't sold a single one at the MSRP of $399. This is an excellent bourbon, but not a 400 dollar bourbon for me.
Binny's finally caved and lowered the price to $149. With a 20 dollar coupon I had, made it palatable to take the plunge. https://i.imgur.com/5ULxiX1.jpg |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Yeah, I 'd pass too. I can buy five or six great bourbons for $400.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice pickup Tom. I’ve seen the KO bottles around, but the price scares me off.
Seems my palate is back. Tasting both Bookers 21-04 & 22-01. Really like them both. Can taste differences unlike my last Bookers tasting. |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Anybody here ever tried Mr and Mrs brand bourbon? A local cigar bar keeps a bottle on hand because the owner claims it's the worst thing ever, which gives him the opportunity to prank someone occasionally.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Happy your palate reset, Bob. :tu
I guess the owner hasn't had Malort, Brian. ;) :r |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Stopped by my local store yesterday. Snagged their KC SiB. 9 year, 10 month. Delicious. They also had a bottle of ER on the shelf, which I grabbed for a friend.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Love those Knob Creek picks, Bob, picking up one from a local group next week. Enjoy!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Dropped off QT's ring for repairs, then stopped into Sal's which is just across the street. They had just dropped their OFBS single barrel so I grabbed one of those to try.

No bourbon updates over here, still trying to drink through my opens, the goal is to clear out some significant shelf space by the end of the year by drinking through the stuff that is either low or mostly full because they don't get me excited |
Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I keep saying the same Ben, I need to stop buying and drink thru my current stock. But then I keep finding interesting bottles.
I don’t think we get the single rickhouse here in MI. I’ll keep my eye out for it though. My guess it’ll be easier to get than WFP. |

Nice color on those bottles. They look very tasty. Great finds. |

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
More stuff today.
Local FB guy was downsizing his mid-level stuff, I grabbed an Old Ezra 107 and a Baker's 7 Year. They're $74 and $69 respectively around here, I got both for $75. https://i.imgur.com/gJyW5rY.jpg Also got 2 Pinhooks : One was Seelbach's cask strength single barrel pick. The other one was a collaboration between Pinhook and the Kentucky Black Bourbon Guild to honor legendary jockey Issac Burns Murphy. How could I not? https://i.imgur.com/QLR2xiQ.jpg |
