New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

Disco 11 is dank af

 

Disco 12 > Disco 11

 

I figured it was stuff they couldn’t get rid of earlier, nothing “special” tho I did get the Japanese whisky.

 

No

 

there are bad takes and then there are even worse ones. This is one of those.

 

It’s fine you guys don’t like funky Turkey

 

It’s fine, you bought into the whiskeytube hype

 

Weirdly I get more Turkey funk on 11. I really like both though.

 

12 has more funk? I'll need to get one

 

Passed on the rare character but picked up a Sagamore 9year bottle for 69.99$.

 

You chose very wisely. That Sag 9 year is incredible.

 

This morning was funeral mass for my father in law

Tonight some small pours with the family seemed as good a time as any to give it a try

 

Love to your family!

 

Sorry for your loss Shaun.

 

Ts and Ps to your family. Absolute perfect occasion to share a bottle of that caliber, so good on you for having one on hand

 

Hell of a bottle, sorry for your loss

 

How was it?




The funeral mass, you animals.

 

Was fantastic, incredibly smooth

Best thing I’ve tried so far

 

Just finished the last sip of my TMB Pickle pick. We doing another barrel sometime?

 

Lordy, I hope so.

 

Finished my 2021 4R LE BP. RIP to a real one.

 

I am going to start looking around. We can probably do a River Roots pick, but could be pricey.

 

People would need to be prepared for like $130-150

 

In for 20

 

Have you tried the Ronin yet?

A Double Oak pick would be nice.

 

LETS DO IT!!!

 

I'm always going to be in for 2.

 

I’d be in for 10.

 

Does that include licensing fees for Curious George?

 

I sent River Roots an email. I am pretty friendly with one of the owners, so hopefully he can work with us on a remote sample tasting.

 

Should do in person. I hear Cleveland is lovely this time of year.

 

Ewwwwww

 

id go there for a pick if they required that

 

I'm 2.5 hrs away

 

In honor of our new bottle pick discussion I started playing around with AI art (since the only thing that matters is the label), and in honor of TMB Bourbon Lore, I give you, Garage Floor

 

Garage Floor Blend

 

Still think we need to try and get in with an ASW Fiddler pick. Those are usually around $90 and are great, great bottles.

 

Are they though?

 

The Georgia Heartwood? Yes.

 

I want to do a TMB opus one pick.


That way I can have more than one bottle. SHIT IS SO GOOD

 

Can one of our Georgia peeps inquire? The nice thing about River Roots is they handle all of the payments and shipping. Costs $20 more per bottle but well worth it.

 

The other issue is with an ASW pick we would have to find a store to pick it etc...

 

River Roots it is.

 

lazy

 

So here are the choices I got from River Roots. We can also wait of course as they get new stuff in all the time. My speculation of source is in parenthesis, but I am fairly certain on all of these.

1. 7 Yr California American Malt (Charbay)
   • Mashbill: 88mb/12mr
     Proof: ~147
   • Approx Bottle Yield: 215 bottles (do offer half barrel picks of these)
   • Customer Online Sales: ~$80/bottle
     
   • Notes:
     1. Aged in char level 3 barrels, heavy toast barrels, or medium toast barrels
     2. This isn’t like Kentucky malt whiskey. These barrels lean more towards a rye with hoppy notes. If you love IPA beer you will love this whiskey.
2. 8 Yr Kentucky Bourbon (Belle Meade)
   • Mashbill: 75/21/4
   • Proof: ~124
   • Approx Bottle Yield: 150 bottles
   • Customer Online Sales: ~$95/bottle
3. 10 Yr Kentucky Bourbon (Beam)
   • Mashbill: 78/13/9
   • Proof: ~118
   • Approx Bottle Yield: 150 bottles
   • Customer Online Sales: ~$115/bottle
4. 13 Yr Indiana Rye Whiskey (MGP)
   • Mashbill: 95/5
   • Proof: ~107
   • Approx Bottle Yield: 165 bottles
   • Customer Online Sales: ~$115/bottle
