New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

I only pour an ounce or less at a time so I can try a few things.

 

How many opens do you have?

 

open bottles? 218 Plus another 50 or so samples.

 

This seems like an overwhelming amount to choose from.

 

Wow

 

Hence the small pours

 

Curious: let's say you get low on a bottle, 1/4 or less. Do you make a point to finish it ASAP?

 

It depends on the bottle, but typically not unless I have backup.

 

I'm speaking from a medical perspective and definitely not my own beliefs lololol

 

I actually do the opposite. I like to keep stuff for people to try. If I have a really good bottle that is almost done I'll keep it around for others.

I've probably got about 175 open

 

That New Riff 8 year worth driving 30 mins to snag?

 

This is what I do too. Probably 75% of my opened bottles have less than half left. And about 25-30% have 5 ounces or less left.

 

New Riff : me :: Woodford : Detlef Schrempf

 

I haven't really had much of their stuff but some people seem to rave about them.

 

I bought a couple single barrel bourbons a couple years ago and wasn’t very impressed. But, that could just be a result of bad picks, and not necessarily an indictment on the brand as a whole.

 

Every one I try I dislike. Fool me 10 times shame on me

 

Good enough for me. I didn't feel like making the drive anyway.

 

New Riff is 15mins from my house and I don’t own a single bottle lol

 

241 opens just counting whiskey, another 70-80 other assorted spirits

 

My boss and I were gifted new Riff bottles for Christmas 2 years ago by a vendor that did a barrel pick. Has their logo laser etched on the bottle.

We opened it and the nose was excellent and I started thinking that I had just had bad new Riff selections in the past. Took a drink and it was so bad. The finish was awful.

Mine is still on my shelf, unopened. Anyone can have it for free if you pay for a label. Maybe it's just not for me. I don't know.

 

Best stuff at Lux Row ? Gonna suggest the double single barrel 12 year
No idea if that’s attainable

sounds like some good bottles were procured at Willet earlier today
May have em go back to get some others

 

Like what?

 

Noah’s Mill and Willett Pot Still
Gonna try to convince them to go back for the family estate before they leave

 

Family estate good. Those 2 are not

 

We shall see
I’m pretty excited for free whiskey
What a time to be alive !

 

I laughed so hard at this, cause it’s so true.

 

Pot still is garbage

 

Wife’s choice , I’ll drink it with a smile

 

It’s a great paper weight

 

Y’all cool jerks
Where was all this opinion last night ?

 

Pot still bottle is pretty nice.

 

One of the best looking bottles around, behind Old Fitz

 

zip around the wall you built , brotha

 

It’s literally in the OP, DayDomination

Sorry someone didn’t send you there beforehand.

 

Decorative Butt Plugs, didn't realize that was your thing

 

It's yours. Send a label

 

Yes you did

 

You were supposed to keep ButtShotz night a secret

 

Funny enough the only 2 minis I have outside of Blanton are these two. Haven’t tried New Riff but pot still tastes like what I think diarrhea would taste like.

 

Packing up for an overnight camping trip.

“This half bottle of EHT should be fine.”

…

“Better bring this New Riff barrel proof too. Just in case.”

 

I am disappointed in the shitting on new riff, i only have good picks from them

some of their limiteds land really high on minniks end of year lists tools

 

Offering up these 3 selections from the south jersey bourbon drinkers group at my cost + a label. Any takers?

ECBP 10 yr 135.2 - $70
Starlight straight bourbon 118.6 4.5yr - $52
Starlight double oaked 112.4 4.5yr - $52

total: $174 + label. Not splitting up right now.

 

pperc's moving sale is going to have some good deals

 

Bet that ECBP is pretty good.

 

Lot of bottles sold at cost incoming. And obviously the specials for prior buyers :)

 

SJBD doesn’t often miss

 

Camping success.
