New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

It’s the Medicinal Whiskey Society’s Russell’s Reserve pick. They do a nice job with the labels on all their picks.

 

Looks real as fuck

 

Come try some

 

I thought it was a real thing as well.

 

Switched to WT12

 

That bottle tastes like licking a library book

 

That's how you know what page you were on

 

More Turkey…Unforgotten

 

I’ve got a new job starting Q1.

Georgia TMB meetups about to be a thing.

 

Making my way through the keep as well:

 

You guys have way more Turkey than me. They're probably my favorite distillery but I just haven't had a lot of opportunities to snag their stuff since getting back into whiskey.

 

I’d probably drink Russell’s picks every day if I could find enough

 

Yeah I would too but unfortunately just don't see them around here much. The ones I've had are great though.

 

I just moved on to MK Decades

 

I've been digging the Chattanooga whiskey recently. Big fan.

 

Team Chattanooga.

 

WT101 4 lyf, friend.

 

Oh I definitely have some 101 and Rare Breed. But I want more fancy Turkey. But their special releases are just too expensive now.

 

Will be popping a RR13 here soon for the last pours tonight. Can’t wait

 

Terrible last pour, friend.

Elite first pour, friend.

 

Getting in just under the deadline for Turkey day.

 

I think if I could find enough I would never drink anything else except for JDBP Rye.

 

It’s the day after Thanksgiving, no work to do, and football is on. Throw on top an ER visit this morning for my kid. This is about to be prime bourbon drinking time.

 

Damn starting the kid early one Eagle Rare. Good dad!

 

So I was lucky enough to get my hands on some Four Roses Single Barrel OESF and almost done with it but its probably my favorite bottle that Ive had in the last several years. Knowing that its probably going to be incredibly difficult to get my hands on another bottle, does anyone have anything similar that they’d recommend? Is the small batch select as good as the single barrels?

 

I like the Small Batch select but definitely prefer the single barrels

 

#oesfmasterrace

 

And no SBS not near as good as the barrel picks imo

 

Leeroy Jenkins! has access to all the oesf

 

I don’t even think SBS is near as good as SB, and you have to pay more? But yes, the barrel picks are on another level

 

Act 11 acquired

 

Also HtownTide if you're still in screwston you should have access to all the 4r picks

 

…go on….

 

OHLQ doing single barrel Saturday again on Saturday 12/9.
Starting today they’re announcing new participants daily.

Kicked things off with:

Castle & Key restoration rye
4R SBBS private selection

 

I think we'll be in Cuyahoga Falls that weekend if you're in that area and want to do some shop hopping.

 

Has anyone seen what the Parkers Heritage Rye is going for on secondary?

 

no idea, I opened mine in store and its a solid like 6.5/10 imo, not worth 200

 

450-500

 

Right on. Not too bad. I snagged one for retail and was debating trying to move it so I could buy something I wanted more.

 

3hrs until SW’s single barrel releases.

(Orders cannot be fulfilled to Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia.)

Link to their “tasting notes,” (be warned, fairly ridiculous.)

 

I’ll be in Central Ohio

 

Sick of this states antiquated laws.

 

My bottle, my choice!

 

Not sure how it worked out, but I may have gotten four of these. TBD.

 

They didn't have limits? That's surprising.

 

There are still plenty left if you want one

 

I'm in a no fly state but I don't need to spend the money anyway. Spent too much lately on whiskey.

 

Looks like I got one of these so I got that going for me.

 

I told Mrs. Tamland to “add three different bottles” to her cart because “two would likely be sold out” by the time she checked out…

 

Never saw the Sw yesterday. Missed the ones that I would have preferred but grabbed 156 and 163. There are 5 barrels still available.
