Mark..... Just wondering what the price break was on the Corner Creek? I'll have to keep an eye out for it, so I'm also interested in your take on this one! Thanks

Thanks, Peter! Very, very affordable!!! It'd be nice to find another good sippin' quality bourbon for less than $60!!!!! Few and far between. I've never seen it in Alabama, which means it's not on the state's "approved" list. But I'll be in Tennessee on and off over the next three months, and there are several excellent stores within a couple of miles, so may be able to find it there!!

I've been thinking about trying the 18 year....I guess that'll be the next bottle purchase.

I think you mean Elijah Craig 18 year though.

I think that's called a Tolkien Slip, lol.

Bill86 · 01-02-2012, 05:26 PM

I was looking at the 18 year Saturday night, but Zaya caught my eyes instead. Kind of on a rum kick lately.

I'm sure I'll get back into bourbon. Set aside a few hundred $$$ for the 2012 WLW, Stagg and Pappy.

It was my understanding that Buffalo Trace not only used differs seasoning and charing techniques, but the also used different mash bills for the whiskey that filled the barrels. The idea was that no two barrels would be alike. I was also under the impression they were only released in 375ml bottles. If you saw a 750ml bottle I would grab it, because it must be very rare. I haven't tasted them myself so I can't speak from experience but that is what I have read. You can go to the Buffalo Trace web site to get the pedigree on each barrel, but you have to do a review of the bottle you are requesting, so I haven't gone that far yet. I hope that helps.

I like the "Aged In New American Oak" legend on the Corner Creek label.

Yeah. That's why they let you call it Bourbon, guys.

Montano · 01-05-2012, 06:24 PM

I like Bourbon

Matt-N-GA pointed out to me that the WL Weller Special Reserve had be marked down to $9.99 a quite a few of our local stores, as a marketing ploy to gain interest. Well it worked for me, I had never tried it but this stuff is really good.

Damn $10....stock up

It's $20 over here and it's not bad at all.

What stores have this pricing?

Bill86 · 01-05-2012, 09:33 PM

Much thanks, I'll call in advance.

Had a small helping of the 12 yr Van Winkle and then I had a glass of the Basil Hayden 8 yr. Both are pretty good.
