New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

Appreciate you guys! I’m putting feelers out, trying to surprise him

 

I’ll try to keep an eye out for when it hits Ohio. Last year that was I think early December

 

funny enough, just poured this one. I might be able to help out, I’ll ask my coworker tomorrow, he lives in Utah and got some Act 11 already.

 

Banana?

 

I don't believe all headlines but that's pretty fucking damning, guess out of the rotation. We had a good run.

Probably gonna switch to crown black as my weekday drink so I can sleep whiskey.

 

Yes I was in a bar on Saturday and all they had was Bulleit and Jack. I grabbed an IPA instead.

 

That's usually what it is on Brown-Forman products.

I never could place it until someone said it and now it's all I can think about when drinking Old Forester or JD products.

 

Just saw these this morning and checked the website. Already sold out. Hopefully they did make a ton of it this year.

 

I read something like 180,000 bottles. That's quite a lot for a limited release.

To be honest I'm not sure it's worth the price anymore. It's $150 for a bottle now.

 

Apparently they’ve run out of all the sourced that made it special, if what I read is correct it’s a lot younger now.

 

That's what I've heard too. Lot more competition for mgp barrels now.

 

They said it was 16 year Barton stuff from what I remember

 

Ahh, I just assumed it was sourced from mgp.

 

original MWND was 6 year MGP Rye blended with the aforementioned 16 year Barton rye

 

i think until act 4

 

Mgp does make a good rye. Blend just enough 16 year to add some complexity and you have a winner.

 

Surprisingly, none. And I fully expected it and looked for it.

 

Is everything from Act 5-now the same?

 

not sure. it probably changes a bit. i think they have slowly blended in their own distallate.

 

Eagle rare 25 year?

 

Eh?

Might as well be unicorn tears. Bet it's crazy expensive.

 

Looks like RockHardJawn39 gonna be using some more CC points at BT!

 

Eh let me know when they do store picks of it

 

Keef that Old Forester is easily my favorite bottle in recent memory. No banana, total cherry bomb.

 

a good number of people in here got one

 

Anyone else still have it open? I really want another opinion, someone tell me I’m crazy for tasting cherry.

Haven't opened mine yet

 

Spoiler: But seriously

 

Same. Will try soon.

 

How many bottles do you guys typically have open at once? I rarely leave a bottle unopened for very long.

 

You Pokémon collectin’ fools…

 

I have about 20 unopened.

 

I only have maybe 5-10 and those are mostly duplicates of ECBP or something like that.

Granted I had kind of quit bourbon for a long time and only got back into it last year.

 

This is the appropriate answer

 

I probably have about 200 bottles open. I pretty much open it as soon as I get it. I'm sure people will say it ruins it, doesn't stay good that long and my answer is "shut up nerd."

A lot of times if I get something good/rare I'll open it in the store and pour it for whomever wants to try it, that way they know I'm not flipping it and they appreciate it and are more likely to sell me more allocated stuff at MSRP

 

We’re counting those?

 

I have a C919 I’ve been nursing for years. Finally killed my A120 a couple months ago

 

I too have some opened and unopened bottles

 

WOULDNT YOU LIKE TO KNOW

 

sending you a dm

 

I haven’t tried it since I first opened it. I recall not caring for it too much, but a lot of times that changes a year later. Will try it again soon.

 

If any of my other ATX peeps wanna know I'll DM, I just don't want to put names and everything out in public

 

Same

 

I do the same. I get something and I'm ready to try it immediately.

Side note, finally found the JDSBBPR (ridiculous abbreviation) and grabbed a single barrel Still Austin that I'm excited to try.
