Based on your recommendation I picked some up earlier this month for my Dad's birthday. Fantastic bourbon that we all enjoyed thoroughly and I will be buying it again.

That's great to hear, Albert. Glad you and your Dad enjoyed it.

Officially NOT going to look in this thread anymore....now I gotta find Corner Creek....

I've worked the Woodford Reserve Double Oak down to maybe 3 sittings. I'll probably finish it off this weekend. I'd finish it on the 4th, but I won't be at home, and the friends we will be spending the holiday with will have lots of family over that do not drink, so I'll hold the finish over for a few days.

This leaves the question of what to open next. I'm leaning towards the Woodford Reserve Master's collection Rye from this year. That way, if I really like it, I can look for some more before it disappears for good off the shelves!

found a bottle of Woodford Reserve Sanoma Cutler buried on a shelf today. Super Stocked. Only missing the original masters now.

Hey,

I was out in the field today in Glendale, CA and decided to stop by this fairly nice looking liquor store after completing my last inspection.

Checking out the bourbon section of their good stuff located behind the cash register, I noticed there was two bottles of George T. Stagg,
71.5% abv/143 proof. The price per bottle is $124.99.

I know there was some interest in this brand and some of you where a wishing. If you're interested, shoot me a PM and I'll give you the local telephone number and name for this liquor store located in Glendale, CA...

Good luck on that!!! I'd buy ALL the Four Grain that you found, personally!! I still think the Four Grain and the Sweet Mash were the best, by far! But.... I haven't cracked open the Rye offering from last year. I didn't really care for the Sanoma Cutler, and really didn't care for the Maple Wood Finish from 2 years ago. Ended up drinking the Cutler, but gave the almost full bottle of Maple Wood Finish away to my son.

There was a small store in downtown Gatlinburg, Tennessee that was off River Road (vs Main Street). The owner had half a dozen bottles at home in his personal stash. I'd tried to talk him out of one a couple years ago, but no luck. Then, last year, the property owner sold out, they tore down the small retail center and the fronting property on Main Street, and were in process of some big project. I have no idea where the store went, or even if it re-opened anywhere. Which is a shame, cause I feel sure I could have talked him out of one bottle (with a decent high offer). I paid right at $100 per bottle on the three I originally purchased. Wish I'd put one back, now!

But, seriously, if you run across several bottles, and don't want them all, I'd be very interested in acquiring one or more of the Four Grain!!

Thanks Pete and Mark!.....

I picked up a bottle of Corner Creek today. I'll try a couple of fingers tonight.

And 3 weeks ago I picked up a bottle of Old Forester Signature..I've had about 3 fingers out of it...Straight...meh. ice cube...boom really opens up the bouquet- vanilla caramel, very smooth.

Thanks Fellas!

The drool won't stop!

My wee little collection as of right now only has:
Woodford Reserve
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby Edition 137(last years bottle, stumbled upon in in an ABC in FL)
Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project Barrel 78

It'll end up expanding in the near future though

There is a new stop on the Bourbon Trail. Town Creek Bourbon. Small batch distiller. Haven't seen it anywhere, Better keep my eyes open!! Anyone here had Town Breek?

[macsauce13]

Do you mean Town Branch? I haven't heard of Town Creek.

Has anyone tried the Breaking and Entering bourbon? I am not much of a bourbon fan.. but I liked it better than the woodford. The B&E Bourbon is made here in California in Alameda with, supposedly, vintage casks acquired from Kentucky.

My bourbon collection disappeared last night. By "collection" I mean the last part of a bottle of Bulleit Rye. LOVE this stuff. Weird thing was, I did not feel the least bit intoxicated, and I probably drank a little under a quarter of a bottle.

That may very well be. I saw something on this, and put it in my phone's notes for future reference. It's entirely possible I put the wrong word inthe phone!!

[macsauce13]

No worries. Its made by Alltech, and is getting mixed reviews from what I hear. Certainly worth a try though
