As stated before it didn't matter what bottle we got, I was going to display it proudly. Thanks NYGator and to all the tasters.
I’ve liked some of their stuff, cavehill I believe. I’ve never paid for it though, always got those bottles as gifts.
Makes me realize that this is such an incredibly niche interest. Like watches. Fucking no one knows shit about watches. People know Rolex. You could wear a Patek Philippe around the office and no one would have a clue.
Place by me in Chicago got in a store pick EHT SiB, posted it on instagram and it sold out in 24 minutes. Didn’t even come close to getting it, damnit Also, guess they cut the seal when they sold it, so that people couldn’t resell. Sounds like it made a lot of people mad, but I totally get it
Would definitely move up a store on my buy from list if they did this. Nothing like being around for raffles and watching dudes putting up posts on secondary immediately.
A lot of their bourbon is incredibly young, so to me a lot is overpriced. I haven't had much of their stuff but I can't bring myself to pay $50-60 for a 2 year old bourbon.
Round three and four of samples just arrived (remember we axed the Angel's Envy pick because it was gross).
Interesting. I picked up a Z barrel last year at 7 years and it was distilled in KY. I had trouble placing it, the most cinnamon-forward bourbon I've ever had.
