New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

Your valuations seem high, but to each their own.

 

Wasn’t eht supposed to be releasing a barrel proof rye this year?

 

They aren't my valuations. I just logged into a secondary market facebook group, searched for the various bourbons at issue, and those are the numbers that I saw. But yalls' point is noted. She didn't sell them to me for retail by any means. But I still think it was way better than secondary and paying for shipping.

 

In Michigan, that would run right around $180 + tax at state minimum prices.
McKenna - $60, ER - $32, BT - $27, LCBP - $60

 

Guess I'm used to specs prices. My bad.

 

I'm used to 40/30/23/50 ish prices. So splitting hairs

 

I can order this right now for you

 

Y’all stop being mean or we won’t get jigger/ice cube pics

 

You don’t like your ice with a little bit of bourbon?

 

Oy vey .. worst case, good looking bottle to gift

 

I put a little ice in most of my bourbons, unless its something really good

 

I usually go with Faygo cola in mine, but if it's really nice I spring for Diet Pepsi.

 

taters gonna tate

 

I have this dickel 15 year single barrel that I don't really like that much. Been using it to make whiskey cokes and it hits. Nice smokey flavor to it.

 

Dickel is right there with pot still for me.

 

I stopped doing the jigger and ice block in my pics. I just use some fridge ice now. But if yall keep this up I'm moving back to the oversized ice block.

 

Have any of y’all opened the 8 year wheated willet yet? Looking for some tasting notes, local liquor store has one for a decent price

 

It’s going to taste great, it’s going to be expensive. Up to you on if it’s worth it

 

Is there someone that does reviews that you guys trust above others aside from just thread opinions?

 

I like Breaking Bourbon.

 

I only drink my Pappy 23 yr with Diet Coke. Fight me

 

As long as you don’t put ice in it

 

willet tasting note: drinks best with some ice.

 

Agreed even though they can be a bit cunty

 

Found it locally for 249, didn’t think that was bad since it’s like 500 on secondary.

 

It's the Hard Hat tour that is supposed to be the "good" one but idk, never been. One tour is all you need. The process is the same everywhere.

 

Anyone come to Bardstown this weekend for Bourbon Festival?

 

Thought that was last weekend? Bourbon and beyond was last weekend for sure

 

Yes, they were both last weekend. Was wondering if anyone came/went.

 

My b.

 

That’s a fair price tbh

 

If you don’t want it for that price I’ll certainly take it off your hands

 

Lol I was just trying to get some feedback before I dropped that kind of money.

 

SITREP : rye is much better than bourbon, across the board

at the bar i've found i would rather pay cheap prices for templeton / rittenhouse / redemption than to pay a 2x-5x premium on any bourbon. the ryes are all 6-7 per drink, the bourbons are typically 15-20 and range as high as 30 or 50.

at the liquor store the best things i've bought have all been 10-15 year ryes, while ppl are waiting in line, stabbing each other in the neck on allocation day for shitty bourbon

 

Anniversary today, went with a slightly above average pour for a slightly above average wife.*


*babe if you read this please don't divorce me

 

Which 10-15 year ryes you grabbing?

 

Barrell Rye v621 14 yr and whistlepig 10 yr

 

If you're referring to that 15-17y old store picks from a few years ago, then I agree.

 

Decent haul for a random Wednesday

 

Doing some hunting this morning, and so far I have seen it all, with prices all over the board. Old charter oak, cypb, wfpsp, rr13, willet 8 year wheated, orvw, w12, ofbb, and etl was coming off the truck.

 

Anyone bidding on the Buffalo Trace state bottles? Kentucky, North Carolina and Georgia are over $3k while Delaware is only $700

If you like that you'll love Pappy's with jeppson malort

 

The wife scored this today!

 

Decided to pour some Willett for Thursday night football

 

Been replaced by those hydrangeas

 

Had a turrible haul today.
