Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice grabs Tom! You just reminded me that the last time I was back home I picked up a few bottles that should be waiting for me, common stuff at the time - OE7, EC 94 proof pick and a 14 year KC...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I got a SRW Rickhouse Proof (120.1) from a friend that is absolutely killer, I think it would be a fair matchup against most Weller Full Proof barrels even though it lacks some of the complexity that...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Got the call that the Blantons Gold barrel was in, I think they said there were only two barrels allocated to Colorado this year, likely less than the amount Specs got but I'll take it. By this time...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice pours all around! The orange guy is the only Weller (outside of the compass one) that I haven't tried, I paid $20 for a pour of CYPB once and thought it was worth about half that

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
They did a special release of single barrels back in 2020 and it was at the time the best rye I had ever tasted, a year later I did a tour/tasting at Jack and we tried the regular rye, I asked if it...

Hey Vin! Give the Bottled In Bond a try (white label), 100 proof and at least 4 years old for very cheap. The 80 proof black label is not worth the time, but the BiB can be a decent pour. Although...

Most of the Abe's go out through a lottery where you have to pick up at the distillery in VA, an hour from my in-laws so they usually end up entering all the lotteries whether they know it or not :)
