New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

pperc while buying I asked about the M20 and he has requested two bottles. Said they hardly ever get to Oregon but when they land he has a shot at. So now we play the waiting game.

 

Got 2 delivered from Austin Wine Merchant.

 

Drinking Tankara Red. I like it a lot.

 

Works for me

 

I found one of those yesterday.

 

Congrats on your bottle of B120

 

Yessssssss

 

Well done

 

Have you ever had it or you just want to try?

 

Total Wine

 

I have not. And yet. Want so bad.
Love M10.

 

Saw an M20 on vacation in Tennessee this week. They are only asking $4,299

 

I‘ll assume you did the right thing and burned that motherfucker to the ground.

 

It was a Liquor Barn (I don't believe part of the bigger chain) and part of the sign is down so it says Liquor Ba. This place burning down or falling apart is inevitable, I felt no need to speed the process up.

 

The previous 9 year release was supposed to be incredible

 

Lmao

 

Dude, you’re hookup is insane. These literally just came out.

 

It actually was kind of meh imo

Leeroy Jenkins! feels similarly

 

Haven’t had it just read a few reviews, I still need to open this 15y but have not gotten to it

 

Hey, drinking Buffalo Trace with soda as my night night drank

 

Open that bitch and send me a sample.

13>>11>9

Big fucking shocker I know.

 

Do you taste orange vanilla coke zero??

 

Drinking a Sazerac old fashioned or 2 to unwind from the work week.

 

• Larceny BP
• Larceny BP
• then some of my barrel aged Benchmark Old Fashioned

Good night, Sally.

 

Is it a saz18 old fashioned?

 

6 year Baby Saz. I wish I had the hook up to use/waste that as my old fashioned recipe. But I am but a lowly hunter.

 

Love this thread.

My palate is growing and starting to enjoy the higher proofs and notice the subtleties in the varieties and what I like and what I don't.

Never wanted to spend much (been staying at $50 or less generally) because I knew I wouldn't appreciate the product so why waste the money, but now...I'm ready.

Stopped into a local store and they have a MM private select store pick on sale for $62. Based on the recs of the various MMPS comments I was thinking that would be a good grab. Yes?

 

I really like the MMPS, but every bottle will be different due to the staves used. It will tell you on the back of the bottle which stave composition it is. Some are spicy some are smooth and mellow.

 

Got a hold of a ECBP B120, it was delicious like usual, but I thought a lot better than the A batch. Think tonight I’ll do a blind tasting with the B520, A120, and B519 (have just a little left and was saving it).

 

I was definitely kidding

 

Told myself I wasn’t going to buy anything for a bit, that lasted all of 36 hours. Got a text about a RR Store Pick, instant buy.

 

Just poured some B519 over a big cube after a hike with the pup... delicious. Is there anything this bottle can't do?!

 

It tickles all parts of the body

 

Knob Creek store picks that are 11+ years old and RR store picks are my kryptonite

 

BuT wHy Do ThE rR sToRe PiCkS hAvE tO bE sO fUcKiNg ExPeNsIvE :(

 

Any thoughts on the Charter Oak stuff? Any good or just useful to flip for better things?

 

Would love to try them have never seen one in person, did you snag one?

 

Nope I haven't just seen them starting to pop up

 

Are there any good sites to get MSRP on bourbon?

 

A lot of sites will include the MSRP in their review

 

1920 night

 

EHT 18yr Marriage just popped up on the secondary FB group I'm in...10 spot fireball at $215 a spot

 

Of course it did.

Of course it’s a fireball.

 

I figured it would hit around 1000 on the secondary market based on GOTG prices but north of 2 grand for a bottle that no one even knows how it tastes is just silly.

 

saw it on Overpriced Bourbon for $2500 I believe

just lol

 

1400 last week

 

just bought a new Les Paul for less.

 

If any of y'all like Evan Williams Single Barrel, I advise you stock up soon. Friendly FYI

 

Uh oh, that sounds ominous
