Has anybody tried the Woodford Reserve "Malt", "wheat", or "rye" versions? There is a local spot that has been selling them for $19.99 a bottle, a very, very, very reasonable price. I personally like The malt and the wheat even better than the normal bourbon.

Looking forward to hearing about the OC when you get to it, Ben.
Todd, that sounds like an outstanding price for the Woodford variants.

At $20 a bottle, those could easily become a go to pour as a nightcap. Peace of the Lord be with you.

This is a very nice bourbon, but it is hard to find outside of Wisconsin.

Son, that is the WP I sent. No super recent picks, but I agree, every WP group or store pick I have had has been stellar. Plus gives me a break from my constant barrage of 125+ proof pours.

Popped in to one of the local B&Ms on a whim and grabbed this plus a bottle of WT101.

Curious to hear your thoughts, James, I wasn't a big fan of Dicker's BiB.

Cracked open the first Barrell bottle on Friday night. Blend of Tennessee, Indiana, and Kentucky
Seemed very forward on the Tennessee flavors and notes. I hear dried fruit - apricot used to describe the flavors but had never really found that myself, I did in this one. The finish is light considering the proof for this. The Tennessee is speculated to be Dickel so interested to see what you think Tom. |

Jay, my one and only Barrell is a single barrel, and I am not positive what the source is though I believe it's MGP. I'll have to try and find one of the blends, is that one a specific batch number?
Here's the tater sticker on mine for chits and grins. ![]()

Opened my oldest Booker's to day, 15-02 (Dot's Batch). It was good, less heat than the typical Booker's finish, a little sweetness on the palate. I'll reserve any real judgment until it's been open several weeks.

Thanks, Jay, I'll keep a lookout, although it was could be hard to find, I thought they were at least on Batch 29 now?

Barrell is too hard to keep up with, I had a sample from an 18 year bottle that was one of the best pours I had last year but I know there's no chance of finding that one so no reason to look. I know they're trying to settle down a little with Stellum and some of the bigger regular releases like Seagrass but I feel like it would take a lot of money and energy to really get into them like some people do. I don't have anything from them and likely won't unless I get to give it a sample first, the few I've tried have ranged from ok to amazing

Did a blind tasting last night from a friend, 5 ryes and last place by far was a 15 year WP10 pick. I don't know what was going on with that barrel but it was not good and so off profile from the typical WP10 or any other single barrels I have tried, fennel and anise and wet wood all the way. I went back through the 5 many times and every time thought that one was not good

One bad barrel don't spoil the whole bunch, Ben...with apologies to the Osmond Brothers.
Had some Booker's 2017-02 last night. It was the current batch when the world lost Chris Cornell 4 years ago yesterday. Listened to Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog and solo stuff. ![]()
