    Thats encouraging. Means I don’t have to waste my time with this monthly exercise in futility.

    I bought a Smooth Ambler Old Scout today because (i) I saw it on the list of favorites on the first page and (ii) I’ve never had it unlike most recommended bourbons and (iii) it was on sale.

    Woodinville single barrel barrel proof store pick today. Really like the woodinville flavor profile on all their offerings that I’ve tried.

    Store has had this store pick for a while. I almost got it today but passed. It hasn’t been moving so maybe I’ll get it next trip. What was your price?

    1910 is a whole lot of Banana peel and vanilla and cinnamon imo. Taste great

    I enjoyed the JD Single Barrel BP Bourbon. Drinks pretty smooth for like 130 proof.

    I’m kidding. My wife and I love taking weekend trips up there as it’s only an hour drive for us. I’ve only recently started noticing the difference in availability in that market for products like Remus and Bardstown.

    Absolutely a hitter at that price point. If I had more friends that lived close, I’d really like to blind some barrel proofs and see which I picked. I’ve got a handful open that would make for a fun flight:
    • 1792 FP
    • Weller FP
    • ECBP
    • Stagg Jr.
    • KC store picks
    I’m so damned thankful/blessed to have maintained my employment and health throughout this shit that my biggest complaint about COVID is a lack of bourbon gatherings...

    Also, bring a firearm, city ordinance.

    I think I read that it’s an actual law that you own a gun.

    Correct. Head of household is required to maintain and be proficient with a firearm. Old law, obviously not enforced.

    We’re annually the laughing stock of the nation every time gun reform is a hot topic.

    Found a bottle of Bardstown Fusion Series here at Total Wine for $60. Since the Georgia crew was excited for Bardstown getting there, I bought it hoping to be pleased.

    NC has them at the same price as the regular (55). Not crazy if you trust the store for picks.

    Alright, thanks. I found out that $5 of each bottle goes to charity, so that accounts for a little of the difference.

    Is Kentucky Peerless Straight Rye Whiskey Barrel Proof 2 Year Old 107 Proof for $120 worth it? I don't really like spend that much, but it says highly rated. Can never trust the PA site though.

    edit: pperc says "wtf no"

    No. If it was a barrel pick it would be worth it at ~$90.

    I’ve found their barrel picks - both at the distillery and store picks - to be very good.
