New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

What’s better W12 or green label?

 

W12 by a lot, IMO. It's one of my favorite easy drinkers.

 

I’ll keep an eye out at ABC if they get any boxes now with the current situation

 

I have a couple of unopened bottles of W12 but paid much more than $30 for them. What would one be worth to trade?

 

pperc15 seemed to think it is worth a ETL. I would be willing to trade that or similar.

 

PM sent

 

ETL for W12 is an even swap for sure

 

I was feeling a little buzz and I didn't think I drank that much, and then I just pieced together my evening.

W12
ETL
Fitzgerald 11
Blanton's Gold
RHF
McKenna
Hancock's

There was a definite theme here.

 

I have to say Hancock’s reserve is as good as any of those.

 

W12 & it’s not close

 

wish I could find one here but they’re all $90 or more

 

I can grab you one at about $50-55 or so, but with shipping that still a bit.

 

Sounds good to me, I hate feeding the stupid pricing idiots here...just let me know when you grab it & we’ll work out the payment & shipping!

 

OK, I will let you know. I may be able to grab it tomorrow.

 

Been really digging the Yellowstones, have a 10 year I might open soon

First taste of EGBP just now, damn it's smooth

 

Very poorly. My friend texted me with a photo around the block at 1:30. Not dealing with that shit right now.

 

Cracking the larceny next for comparison

 

No comparison whatsoever.

 

I’ll die on this hill with you. Nice view up here.

 

I think I could be perfectly content drinking $30-100 bottles my whole life, and just stashing away all my good finds. It’s like fishing... catch and release.

Only I don’t release them.

Idk, OGD114 and RR10 are just so damned good enough.

 

Yes, it literally is my sanity right now. It’s the thing I look forward to every night.

 

I’ve never even seen it. I’ve also never had the RR10, but I have had lots of the RRSB.

 

Do you need another mailer? I’m about done with ring toss.

 

My wife just told me her friend was at Total Wine and said the line was out the door.

 

I’m content at the $25-$50 bottle and nice stuff i like is a bonus, but the wheel house is those $30 bottles

 

RR10 is every day drinker king

 

I always work from home and one of my bars is right behind me. When I am on video meetings they are always in the background. It’s constantly in my face.

 

I guess I will pickup a bottle tomorrow.

 

It’s really good but I’ve never had the single barrel

 

The one above it is great.

 

I believe it. I need to try rare breed too

 

what’s a good price on this? Drizly has it at $35.99.

 

If you’ve ever doubted the skill required to mix a good batch of bourbon from a warehouse of barrels, start your own infinity bottle.

Go ahead. Try it, smart guy.

 

$32 here, others get it at $30

 

How do you guys feel about updating OP with ways to get the most out of the drinking experience. I.E. having an initial pour down to shoulders of the bottle then letting it sit 2-3 months before having another.

 

Usually $32 here but it’s been on sale for $26

 

Ya that really is amazing considering all the barrels and trying to maintain a consistent small batch

 

Yes, you do.

Has anyone had Kentucky Spirit and how does it compare to Rare Breed?

 

I actually think I prefer the rrsb, but I like both.

 

I prefer RB

 

What the rrsb price? I think it’s $60 here and rare breed hovers at $45

 

About the same give or take 5 dollars.

 

ok, sounds good!

 

you need to - it’s been on sale here for $28 recently, typically is $31 or so

 

EGBP won easily
Larceny regular stuff >

 

Oregon just went from 30->37 a bottle. Prices be going up so I’d grab at that price.
