The finest bourbon I have tasted. Yet.

[Cruiser]

It's not uncommon for old ones like that to be fairly low proof. Angel's share and whatnot.

Not for sale though. I'm guessing it would retail for $400ish.

I bought into a barrel of Secale Straight Rye bottled in bond from Laws Whiskey House about 4 years ago so I’m expecting a couple cases next week. Anybody try this?

[Cruiser]

^^^ That's a delicious whiskey. How did your barrel share get organized?

[Fritz]

They’re a client of one of my CPA buddies so not exactly sure. I think he just rounded up cash from a few friends and bought a couple barrels. One rye and one 4 grain.

[neufox47]

You selling any of those bottles?

[stapes]

Little neighborhood watering hole gets the goods. Yummy.

No probably not, sorry. Lots of gifting however.

Didn't know that was a thing. What does a barrel cost?

[Fritz]

I don’t know for sure but I think it was around $13k for the rye?

Idaho is a control state. I think Blanton's is around $60-70. Tough to find though. In control states, find the liquor store that supplies the nicer bars. I know where my local supplier store is. I always ask for a case of whatever I'm after is and they'll let go of a couple bottles for me. When I ask for one or two bottles, they tell me they're out. There's two ladies that work there-an Asian with a very thick accent and an anorexic smoker with leather skin. If I make small talk and flirt, they usually help me out. If the dudes are working, I don't even go in the store. Most of the stuff you can't find in the other stores in town is kept in back so you have to ask.

I've been drinking a copious amounts of EH Taylor Small Batch lately. About $40 a bottle and pretty great.

Local watering hole delivers:


Fucking forum software can’t handle portrait mode.

I'd only ever seen 1 bottle of Pappy on a store shelf before today. Checked out a new liquor store in Reno this afternoon and holy shit, they had it all:

10 year was $400
12 year was $500
15 year was $1K
20 year was $1.6K
23 year was $2.5K

Most other prices were a bit high but they were asking $169 for a bottle of Blanton's which I saw in my local supermarket last week for $53. Whisky prices have gone insane!

[Meadow Skipper]

^That’s fucked up.

Indeed. Have some Jefferson's Reserve as well and it doesn't hit my sweet spot like the Taylor does.

Agreed. I do have a Jefferson’s Ocean Aged I’ve heard good things about waiting for a special occasion like the holidays to open up.

[Cruiser]

Dunno what it closed at but when I left today the silent auction bid (all donated to charity) for the 15y was $1350. Crazy...

[ColMan]

Blanton’s has been impossible for me to find this year on the Front Range. Sure has gotten popular.

[schindlerpiste]

These all look great, but I have a problem with those 125 proof bourbons. My mind says, "Yeah, yeah, yeah....while my gullet says, "no, no NO."

I ran into my local yesterday to get some Rittenhouse for party supplies, and also managed to grab the last one of these on the shelf-

This has all but dried up in Oregon. Thankfully the bunker is stocked with backups. Almost mad I brought a bottle to my bootfitter/tuner.

On another note. Old Forester 1910 is super tasty.

McKenna is becoming my go to bourbon. I’ve been sitting on the Weller SR and 107 I have since I don’t know when I’ll see more. Have still yet to find the 12. Larceny not a bad substitute for the SR, IMO.

Blantons has been scarcer lately as well.

Just opened a bottle of the McKenna 10yr. Bottled in Bond. Rye heavy but super tasty, especially if you let it sit in your mouth a bit.

Same thing around here. I had a family member pick one up for me when she was working on the east coast.

[Brock Landers]

I’m a blantons guy, last night finally had bookers...I like it I like it alot

[stapes]

Looong week called for a few pours. Funny I didn’t really enjoy Elijah Craig Small Batch much at all. It was just fine. But just opened a Barrel Proof that is knocking my socks off.
