    Had the EH Taylor rye last night, BrickTamland. I’d agree that it was a little underwhelming, and there are cheaper ryes that I enjoyed more than that.

    I have not loved anything Taylor below the barrel proof, but BP and above are tops.

    SiB is a pretty nice pour but YMMV.

    If anyone needs to dispose of an EHT barrel proof I'll be more than happy to help you out if you pay to ship it to me. You're welcome.

    I don't do well with tastings. I can't taste much after 2 drinks. Even home by myself I'll usually just have 1 or 2 at most good pours and then switch to table bourbon.

    Hey Upton^2 - that store in MD that had the M20 just got slammed by phone calls. Apparently they had a Double Eagle Very Rare for $3,000 and the guy didn’t buy it but posted it on Bourbon Finder on Facebook.

    Just tried it again. I just don't like it, and especially not for the price. It has a bitterness to it.

    If anyone wants to trade for a opened Taylor Single Barrel let me know. I had two tiny pours. Just not for me and need to start getting rid of stuff I won't drink.

    Blanton’s is kind of a gateway bourbon. It’s so smooth and unoffensive that I think it opens people up to what good juice can actually taste like.

    But I’m sure there’s a Blandton’s joke somewhere.

    I like it, but I still think Elijah Greg is superior. The larceny is almost cloyingly sweet to my palate.

    Decided to jump aboard the Elijah Gregg train so picked up a 122 proof the other day. First pour tonight and I understand the hype, didn’t know a barrel proof could be so smooth

    The guy at my local shop was keeping these behind the counter but put the 130ish (can’t remember which bottle exactly) on the shelf. He brought it up without me asking and said I should really try the 122, after this thread’s recs I knew it was meant to be
