Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Is the /R a Jay West pick, Ben?
If it is, then actually I have had several, Bob, all stellar.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
It is! Jay picks everything for R/Bourbon with very few exceptions, he also picks everything for aficionados group (non bourbon spirits). He does spirits full time but doesn't make any money off the picks, those are just for fun

Had to pick up some groceries and the supermarket had Jimmy Russell's Wild Turkey 70th Anniversary Release. 8 years and 100m proof. For $42 I figured it was worth a shot.

I'm nuts for the place

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Maybe even worth 5 or 6 shots. Just saying.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Hmm…my local B&M is releasing their 4R OBSQ pick tomorrow. Tasting notes are “If Faygo Rock & Rye and 4R has a 125 proof baby”. Might have to stop by and snag a bottle.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Hoping to get my hands on a couple but had to laugh when they were first going for $200 on secondary, they've come down but they also haven't hit stores here yet so I'm expecting to get them at under $50. Supposedly there was over 10x more of these made than any other turkey LE ever so they are supposed to be pretty attainable
Love me some OBSQ, I've tasted through the recipes blind twice with different sets of barrels and that recipe won both times

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I think the grocery store had a couple more, Ben, if you want me to try and grab one. Otherwise I might just grab anything left and offer 'em for a c-note on FB.
Bob, I've only bit on the 4R is they're tier 4 or higher, now that they seem to be fetching $105-115 apiece. Cracked my MM Heart Release last night. Not my favorite wood finished release by MM. Hoping it opens up a little with time.
