    Looking for opinions from those acquainted with Barrel Bourbon. My local just got a store pick in. 14 yrs and 108 proof. I understand these are single barrels so they’re all a bit different but do these justify the price? It’s $98.

    I enjoy these bottles. They are Dickel though, but not too fruity

    Had a Daviess County yesterday. Made by same people as rebel yell and old Ezra. Pretty good for a $36 price point.

    By the way, pperc is throwing his knowledge around in this thread too.

    But he seems much happier about it.

    I am a big fan of Barrell single barrels. My go to store pick is 14 years and 115 proof. Only reason I picked it up originally was to get a bottle of Blanton’s and have since gotten three more. Strong but very smooth.

    How’s this year’s? Saw it at Total Wine for 159 and trying to figure out if it’s worth the price tag

    To pperc point though it may come down to availability since it is a couple of years old. Not terrible, and it is delicious. I think I paid $140.

    Saw it in a store for $145. Has anyone had it to believe it’s worth getting at the $20 markup?

    So I have been revisiting bottles I opened last year and just thought were meh at the time. I am also bottling up a bunch of samples right now, and taking some tastes of some bottles that I was not super impressed with at the time. I'm convinced time opened improves whiskey. In particular, the Birthday Bourbon 2019 is so much fucking better than when I opened it as is the Old Fitzgerald 11 year. I am actually pretty blown away by both right now. Also the Archives that I aged is so much better than the original. I am going to age the other bottle as well. It makes a huge difference.

    (I even really like the EH Taylor Single Barrel, which up until now I didn't get at all)

    If you wanna send a sample of the OFBB my way I’d love to try it. I can see if I have anything on my shelf you haven’t had and want a sample of.

    Yes it’s fair. I think I paid $79 but it is a great bottle. I drank the Nobiliary again last night, and I think I prefer it to the 2007 but so different and both are great.
