    There are lots of recipes for 4R BS picks. What’s the proof on it?

    I didn’t know how to decode the OBSV so I’ve been going off of this site. From that graphic I just assumed all single barrels were the higher rye mash bill.

    Based on the charts the obsv would be my least favorite profile but it’s all ive ever seen. I still love it

    Larceny is a bitch to ship. It’s so loud, literally no way to conceal the sound from that bottle.

    $70 is the price in DC. $50 or $70. If I like it, that $20 isn’t going to matter.

    Thanks Keef for hooking me up with the archives. Cunty thoughts incoming on the bottle:
    Initial thoughts:

    nose is heavy on the ethanol with a sweetness punching through at the end

    First taste: shockingly easy to drink for the proof, the corn is veeery evident on the front end, then I catch some light floral notes in the middle, I also feel like it leaves me with almost a hint of salt. The ethanol on the nose led me to guess itd be hot as fuck but it’s incredibly easy to drink.

    Finish: Coats the palate nicely and leaves nice flavors lingering after you’ve drank it, I’d say it leaves me with more sweetness than I get on the actual pour but something mild almost like honeysuckle, I also get a little note of dark chocolate in the back of my throat after as well. There’s literally no oak in the flavor profile at all to me, which I found very interesting.

    all in all I really like it, shockingly smooth pour for the proof, would buy again if there was more

    I cry a little every time I pour one of these knowing how fantastic it is and how much of a bitch it is to find another.

    If the package you sent me didn't get flagged I don't know what would, my secretary came in my office with it and says, "there's something really slugging around in here". :laugh:
    I just said, "yea, it's bourbon from my internet friend" :badasswolf:

    Interesting that you like Dickel sourced bourbon then. The “Select” is from Dickel.

    Wild Turkey 101 is such a great value. Blend of 6 and 8 year barrels. Barrel entry at 115 proof and bottles at 101, less water more fun.

    Depends which one it is.

    I've got the decades, I paid 150 for it. I loved it when I tried it at a bar and so I went and bought the bottle. I don't like it as much as I did but I still revisit the bottle from time to time. Cream of Kentucky is my favorite bourbon in that price range that is non allocated, but to each their own.

    Cornerstone Rye? The MSRP on it is around that...if it’s Decades or Revival, that’s too high.

    That seems like a lot. Not by a ton, but I usually get the series between $110 and 150.

    It's not as good as the MGP sourced stuff from a few years ago, but it's still decent.

    I miss the old 7 and 10 year bottles

    Opened it last night and was very happy

    started neat but added some water to open it up and was not disappointed
    My store had all 3 releases from 2019, expecting to add the other 2
