Finally found a bottle in PA for the correct price!!

Nice! We're still on B520 here, had to have a friend from out of state ship me in an A121 because I'm impatient. Should be getting here in a couple days

Gabe215 · 04-07-2021, 08:12 PM

I only found one 2020 release it was the C in NJ and they wanted almost $100, I (not that this is a bad thing) could only get C19 last year

Nice pickups, Gabe and Tony.

Tony, that 1.75 ER store pick is super cool.

Gabe, I went deep on that C919, best ECBP for me in the last 4 or 5 years.

Friday night I had some Kentucky Chew with the Presidente.

icehog3 · 04-13-2021, 09:58 AM

Last night's pours. Please don't judge me.

jledou · 04-13-2021, 01:08 PM

Good night! I am guessing everything kept getting better as the night went along

stearns · 04-13-2021, 01:16 PM

Ok, I’ll be in Louisville the next week or so. Any regular production stuff I should be on the lookout for that I can’t get back at home in Michigan? I miss being able to get HH BiB for less than $10/fifth.

icehog3 · 04-13-2021, 02:12 PM

Some of the distilleries do bourbon sales in their gift shops, and even distillery only releases. Unfortunately Michter's doesn't have anything now.

Not sure what the bourbon scene is there anymore. I hear friends in Louisville complain they can't get a bunch of Kentucky bourbons that are plentiful in other states....

Chainsaw13 · 04-16-2021, 06:39 PM

Picked up a bottle of this on a recommendation from the manager at the store. I'm no connoisseur, but I do like Old Fashioned, etc. Figured it was worth the $15 since you can't get HH BiB anymore.

Did try it neat. Vanilla, caramel notes. Not bad.

Porch Dweller · 04-16-2021, 08:01 PM

Having some Knob Creek 9. It's the first bottle I've had since they brought back the age designator. It's a damned tasty drink at a reasonable price; can't ask for much more than that.

icehog3 · 04-17-2021, 09:25 AM

Good stuff, Bob and James.

I love the 9 year KC single barrel picks for $49, great pour for the price if your store or group picks good barrels.

Had some of this last night, sourced from Heaven Hill.
