The Bourbon Thread!! - Page 215

That second bag is worth it for that haul, Dave!

Opened up the 1792 Full Proof. First pour wasn't great, only the second (semi)-disappointing 1792 FP pick I've had. Hopefully it opens up with time. At least it wasn't pricey.

Well worth it. I always bring a second bag when I go to KY, probably good advice for any trip though. You never know when the bourbon fairies will show you the way

My local store got the Widow Jane Black Opal in this morning. Cool packaging, but is it worth the $500 price tag? Not for me.

Anyone have thoughts on the HH grain to glass? They also had a couple of those.

I tried them all at a tasting, the wheated was my favorite but I didn't think any were worth buying

Yea, that was what I figured. They have it for $99. I’m being picky on any pickups now. Plenty of good wheaters for less.

I'd skip the WJ Black Opal at $500, Bob. I'd skip it personally at $100, because I'm just not pick on finished whiskey.

Almost needed a suitcase for some bottles I was gifted in SoCal last month Ben, but I opened 'em and shared 'em instead.

I passed on the HH G2G as well, like you said, better wheaters out there for cheaper.
