The Bourbon Thread!!

Yea, I was kinda chaffed when I saw the prices. I’m ok with a little markup, but some of the rarer bottles were up there. I paid $150 for this bottle. Overpriced, sure. But the cheapest I’ve seen it and was in my budget and on my hit list.

Tried it last night. Well worth it.

My personal top 3 were C919 B519 and A120, the group as a whole preferred A119 C919 then A120

Nice pick up!

I have not been lucky to get any of the Batch 24 series from my regular stores, but I have have tastes from 24A and 24B. I like 24B a lot.

Glad it's worth the price, Bob! I love me some Stagg.

Thanks Ben!

I had B520 and C919 as my faves. I've never had A120, looks like I will be "hunting".

B520 was an interesting one, we did a poll before asking what everybody thought the best would be and B520 was up there with what people remembered as their favorites, but after trying it blind it ranked 13 out of 16. Sweet oak but not as much complexity as the others. The brackets were randomized so nobody had it facing the same matchup as anybody else and everybody still thought it was in the bottom

Crazy.

Stopped by my local store to see if anything was left after their raffle. Wanted the Weller 107, but there’s still two people who need to pick their bottles. There’s only the one 107, so that wasn’t available yet. But…

[icehog3]

That looks like a banger. Bob.

I am envious. Very nice pick up.

Had some last night. The nose is incredible. Tastes really good. My only complaint is the finish is a bit short.
