I've been looking for 8 months for a couple bottles of BT and Wal-Mart of all places came through for me.

If you have a problem when those are gone let me know, Kyle, we almost always seem to have it around here.

Saw these for $50 bought 2 blind as in I’ve never even tried their regular offering. I gotta say this is one of the best Bourbons I’ve had to date! Sooooo smooth tons of flavor and long finish! Does not feel like 123.2 proof

I keep meaning to try some Larceny but never get around to it. I need to remedy that...

stearns · 08-21-2020, 08:03 AM

I also have two bottles of the Larceny A120, although one is half empty. Really good stuff

icehog3 · 08-21-2020, 10:33 AM

I've heard the A120 is better than the B520, so good deal. I've still never tried any Larceny product, hopefully a bar or a party will lend the opportunity. Not gonna buy without a try.

On a like note, had a dram of Weller Full Proof that Huy sent me. Really didn't want to like it that much. But I really like it that much.

stearns · 08-21-2020, 10:48 AM

Reports are all over the place on WFP, had a friend who helped a store pick theirs and the three samples BT sent were all trash. They still picked one and that's probably how a lot of them go, but there are supposedly some gems out there. Regardless nothing would stop me from buying one if I had the chance for anything less than 2x MSRP

icehog3 · 08-21-2020, 02:17 PM

That stinks that they probably just picked the "least bad" of the 3 just because they wanted a store pick to be able to make a little more scratch. At their customers' expense as well.

I know the SP from Huy's place is money, so I got that goin' for me. Which is nice.

big a · 08-22-2020, 01:48 PM

WFP is a good pour. Couple bars by me have picks of them so I'm lucky. But I wouldn't pay the secondary price for one.

Yeah, I originally thought I might use it as trade bait for some 2015 Booker's, but after trying this particular store pick, I am seriously thinking of keeping it.

The only one I have is 15-04, Oven Buster Batch.

Gabe215 · 08-22-2020, 06:21 PM

Not gonna lie this Larceny BP is phenomenal. Did a side by side with my EC BP and its toe to toe. Wish I could’ve afforded to buy all the bottles they had

Last night. Descending proofs.

Early Times Bottled in Bond is definitely my favorite sub-$30 pour.

i just looked, the open i have is a 2016. Can get you a sample if you would like though.

I appreciate that Andrew, I do have all the 2016s though. In fact, cracked an "Annis' Answer" 16-02 last night. Be curious to hear which batch you have and what you think of it. I still haven't opened 16-01 Booker's Bluegrass or 16-04 Bluegill Creek.
