New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

I would say so.

 

Hope so, I picked up one for 100 on secondary

 

I know NYGator has been raving about it. I'm definitely a big fan.

 

why would you need to buy that on secondary? It's readily available at a few of the links I posted.

 

Well Seelbachs was sold out, couldn’t find it on sharedpour, and nobody wants to deliver to Alabama

 

gotcha

 

I've seen a few single barrels of the Holladay getting around. Would love to get my hands on one of those.

 

Another 1924 review:

 

So what is my best bet at finding a OF 1924?

 

I honestly wasn't blown away by it. I'd be surprised if it faired well in a blind but I don't know. On the tour we had it with the other whiskey row lineup and I thought 1920 was quite a bit better.

 

Pester the fuck out of pperc.

 

Hasn't hit PA, don’t have any

 

1920 is 15 proof higher. I think both are very good. I wouldn’t chase 1924 though, if nobody said it was a thing to buy.

 

You have and tried 24 yet? 20 is so damn good.

 

This was my Saturday night. I think it is a good bourbon. I don’t think there is a reason to pay over $75 for it.

 

tyfys

 

How is the OFBB? My birthday is tomorrow and was going to open mine for it.

 

Mine is the 2019. I enjoy it a lot. I think pperc was not as enthusiastic about it.

 

I’m not and just traded mine away

 

Same, if the proof was higher they would be great, but they leave a lot to be desired

 

Shared Pour just restocked Discovery 11. I think a few people were looking for it or talking about it.

FYI, my two old stubborns arrived this past weekend from SharedPour. Not sure how they are doing this but can't believe I never knew it worked

 

Buddy just got Stagg for $68.00. Vault selection.

 

I've had other online retailers ship to me if I provide the label.

 

It's good but I don't think it's $160 good.

 

Regular Stagg not George T Stagg, right? GTS retail is like $100+ now

 

Def regular Stagg.

 

Even regular at $68 is a rare find.

 

Broke down and bought a bottle Old Stubborn damnit. Just seen too many people raving about it.

 

I was just looking at them on sharedpour, sheesh that’s a lot

 

Yeah, that's the reason I've balked until now.

 

I got 2 bombergers for the price of an old stubborn. I just can't do it.

Also my buying freeze is not the most successful freeze

 

Couldn’t help myself after the talk in here and grabbed a Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse proof.

First pour is coming off pretty hot.

 

Yeah I'm supposed to be on a buying freeze as well. It's not going well.

 

The first pour I had didn't blow me away. But I tried it again about a week later and it was completely different. Really opened up.

Definitely has some heat though.

 

I tell myself I’m going on a buying freeze after November/December allocation season every year, but it never goes well

 

Gimme all the heat.

 

fwiw I’ve heard good things about the honey but nothing about the coffee (good or bad)

 

the regular bottle is generally well-received in the area. Wish I could give you more, just haven’t had the opportunity to try it yet.

 

I have no recollection of it being hot at all.

 

HBD, rv12 !

 

That first point I found some heat. After that it was pretty smooth.

 

Let us know how the Birthday Bourbon is.

 

What do you think is better - bib or Rick house?

 

Personally I'm a proof whore so I like the Rickhouse more.

 

Bib has been better in my experience. But that’s based off neck pours.

 

I don’t think there is a right answer here. It really depends on mood for proof. Both are the same quality IMO.

 

I saw some posts here about neck pours so figured I’d ask.
