I rarely buy from sites online, prices just never seem to be reasonable. Add in shipping, and it's too much unless it's something you can't do without.

I liked Little Book 2, went through a bottle that I believe was $89. Little Book 3 is the one all the bourbon guys rave about. I have a bottle and don't like it much. Tried LB4 in a bar, not my jam at all. Easy pass. I'll take a look at what the recipe for LB5 is, and probably have that pour before making any purchases.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Well exactly. It is crazy how stores will just wildly and randomly mark up allocated bottles. I'll happily go for some store picks and single barrel bottles before paying out the ass for something I don't even want.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
No need, found it today at the district store in Dallas. Penelope Barrel Strength Four Grains. I believe this is the third rendition of the series, clocking in at 111 proof. Just opened it up and taste great so far. The other bottle, the Texas Select, is a toasted version. I'll try that tomorrow.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Glad you found the Penelope, Tony.
Store not far from here that's known for its picks just offered their Jack Daniels SiB Barrel Proof pick yesterday which sold out quickly. I had a friend snag me a couple, which is great because my other JDBP pick is just about toast. Last night had some 2015 Booker's (shocking, I know).

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Some more of this. Have a new store pick coming so I can finish this one off as desired.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Booker's is my Number 1 for sure, Greg. But I've never had lots of unicorns, so there's always a chance for a new one.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Lots of good whiskey last week visiting my family, one standout was a sip from the Sagamore "Ryemagnac" a collab between Julios and Binny's. 4 year rye with a second maturation of 3.5 years in an Armagnac barrel. Drinking it blind I wouldn't even be able to tell you what spirit it was, wish I had grabbed a bottle for myself when they were available, it's not often you get something that unique
I have a vague memory of you posting something last year and me saying "F*&% I wish I was going to Shack." Can't remember now what it was, but looking forward to having a few drinks together

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Didn't notice you will be there! Will be great to see you again after such a long time! I gather it will be you alone? When will you be arriving?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
The cards played right for me this year, getting in Thursday night with a couple of the CO guys (well coming in with Peter and Glenn, although Glenn is an AZ guy now). Really looking forward to catching up

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
First time trying EHTaylor Single Barrel last night at QT's bar. I would likely never buy a bottle unless it was a store pick, just too big a crapshoot buying these. Over this particular bottle, I'd have taken EHT Small Batch instead at a fraction of the price.
Other pours last night were Russell SiB and Booker's Shiny Barrel.
