New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

Overpriced at $130 MSRP.

No where close to being worth the secondary markup.

 

i’ve tried it before at bars and love it

 

Cleaning out wife’s grandparents house and found this in the bar. Slightly terrified

mystery bourbon from a cow decanter...sounds like the start of an exciting night!

 

Bring that as your contribution to any bourbon tasting with the boys.

Post results.

 

Remember what you’ve seen ITT.

RIP your eyesight.

 

did you give it a sniff?

 

Yeah it smells pretty good

 

Degausser ive mixed this into one of our sample bottles. I’ll let you know on the other side

 

Picked up some Heaven HILL BiB and OGD114 today.

This is whats left on my list of bottles I want to pick up...For now

Pikesville Rye
Michters Rye
Sazerac Rye

1792 Small Batch
Woodford reserve double oaked

A Midwinter Nights Dram
Weller 107

 

Is Pikesville Rye a hard find? I can get that at MSRP whenever

 

What Msrp? I see it around for upper 40s

 

Found it for 45 here. Going to pick it up next week

 

Will pickle your innards and save you from the Coronavirus.

 

drinking some Pikesville right now, its delightful

 

Can’t get either one of the Heaven Hill or the OGD114 in Utah. Enjoy them. I miss having OGD114 stocked in my bar.

 

oh dear

 

have we finally found him?

 

Instructions on page 1 specifically say to steer clear of the pig

 

Just about 50,000 things I’d rather drink for the price point

 

It cost me $0

 

This is the right price to pay to kiss the pig.

 

Not sure how I let the Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel sit on the shelf for so long. At 110 proof it’s pretty smooth but there’s just enough heat to let you know it’s there

 

Yep

 

Just cracked OGD114. I can tell it’s going to be one of my sippers

 

Perfetto! Sipper, or mixer with Old Fashioned. It’s very flexible.

 

Had some last night after a pretty long time off of it, not sure why I did that to myself, it's such a solid bourbon.

 

Decided to skip work today and take a trip to Georgia to look for some bottles I can’t find in town. Trip did not disappoint. Overpaid for the Weller 12 and EH Taylor Rye but overall nothing was too absurd.

 

I’m actually drinking that Larceny BP right now.

 

Where did you go?

 

To every liquor store in Thomasville

 

I went to a solid store in Ft. Lauderdale today. Picked up a belle meade cask strength ($79), cream of Kentucky 12.3 ($149) and a smooth ambler store pick ($19). I passed on the HH BiB, because I just didn’t want to carry all of this home and some of you guys were luke warm on it.

 

Won a New Riff single barrel recently in the NC bourbon club. For such a young bourbon I was pleasantly surprised, thought it was very solid.

 

I like regular Larceny. Will probably buy if I ever come across BP.

 

I’m glad they didn’t overprice it too bad. There’s still no beating OGD114 for value, but it’s not outrageous at $50.

 

It was fun to try and was decent enough, nothing spectacular though imo

 

#CoKLuverz

 

Pretty disappointed by the three liquor stores I stopped by in Fort Meyers

only things of note were EHTaylor Rye for $139 and Willet Pot Still for $99

I walked out

 

I too am a CoK lover

 

Just had this:
Me: any good bourbons tonight?
Clerk 1: not really normally we have 1 or 2 but not tonight
Clerk 2: wait is Blantons bourbon
Me: yessssss.......
Clerk 1: we don’t have any though
Me: ohhh :(

 

First pour of Little Book Ch 3 tonight and man it’s nice. I’m thinking that much like Ch 2, the bottle getting some air will work wonders

 

You like the Chapter 2? Still kicking around if I should buy one

 

You shouldn’t.

You should buy two.

 

It’s a favorite here. Definitely a different flavor profile due to the Canadian whiskey, but has a real nice apple jolly rancher flavor.

 

It’s well worth it. I was pretty turned off by it when I first opened it but I assumed it was me being dumb and new. But also being dumb and new, I didn’t realize how much a bottle could change when it gets some air. Now it’s a great sipper

 

Bought the same one. Rye was already gone within 5 minutes.
