Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Yes, due to the presence of King Ranch in south Texas. I like it, found it to be a bit sweeter in the taste.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Had a good two weeks of hunting. Two were from trades (Blantons), the rest at MSRP.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
the OFKR is a good pour. We still have tons of it around here. Not sure I like the price hike from the OR ($65 to $85).

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I have/had a bottle from the original release and liked it. I knew I should have picked up a case back then.
John, I will text you later when I hit up TW.

I like that Penelope a lot. The first bottle I had tasted like strawberry cream. I like that Rebel Cast Strength.

Nice catch. I keep missing the Stagg drops here, but it seems they are getting put out every other month. I still have a couple of B13-16 bottles in my collection.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Prices on Bookers has gone up in the last year. I was used to paying $80-$90, now they are $115 at TW and Spec's. Those are definitely secondary prices. I wouldn't pay that unless I really, really...
