Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Got a new wheater from Copper Sky yesterday after a good experience with a Hazmat single barrel from them. This is a bit sweet, good but not as good as the Maker's Mark wood finished batches or Weller Full Proof.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Well, right place, right time kinda thing. Stopped by Total Wine on my way home from a day in the woods. They were putting out the BT stuff they just received in. Got an EH Taylor Small Batch, another Eagle Rare and a Weller Special Reserve. Guess I just missed out on the Weller 107. Feel like I stole them paying msrp.
Happened to be talking with another customer about Bookers. He said he saw the guy with a bottle of the 107. So we walked up front where they were putting more stuff out. The 107s were all gone. The EHT they had only six of. 4 went in the first two minutes.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Any day you get ER and EHT at retail is a good day, Bob.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I managed to do a hat trick and grab three bottles of EHT SmB at retail yesterday. I also got another bottle of Booker's Charlie's Batch, also at retail.
Not sure why, but the local Spec's stores were dropping EHT SmB in large quantities over the last couple of days. Usually, they get one or two case every other month or two. Most stores were getting 5 cases or more. Some had as many as 15 cases. All allocated, meaning one bottle person per day per store. Luckily there are three near me. Other BT products were also present, but not in the numbers of EHT. I really need to do an inventory soon of everything I have. I think with this haul I have 5 cases of various EHT bottles.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Is Szazerac Rye worth picking up?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Ok, decided to do some more hunting today. Hit up another total wine. There was a rep from Iron Fish, the owners son. Tried a sample of a couple cask finished bourbons, maple syrup and 4 cask (a blend of all 4 they have). Both were good. Ended up getting a single barrel maple syrup finished. 114 proof I think. Gonna try it in an old fashioned soon.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Are you a rye fan, Bob? I can take it or leave it most of the time. Sazerac is always available here.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I don’t honestly know. Yesterday, just so happened to stop by the store that had it Wednesday. They were out. I know there’s many rye’s out now that I really don’t need to hunt it. It sells quick around here. Guessing a case of it being from BT, so everyone grabs it while they can.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I should buy a lottery ticket. Talked to the manager at Total Wine yesterday. The EHT I picked up Wednesday was his allotment so far this year (6 bottles).
Picked up a bottle of Old Elk single barrel (Meijer store pick) and an Iron Fish maple syrup barrel finish cask strength over the weekend. The OE so far is good on the first pour. Getting almost a Reese’ PB Cup on the nose. Lol. The IF is definitely sweet. Would be a good dessert pour.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Go grab a bottle and do a side by side, it will help appreciate the uniqueness of the finish from the pick
