Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I opened the Clark & Sheffield BS last night, James. There is absolutely nothing "1792" about it. Rye spice and pepper at first, after it opened up a bit there was a hint of dark fruit sweetness, but not enough to damper the spice. I'll pay the extra $15 MSRP all day for 1792 FP over this one.

On a positive note, I found out the JD Heritage single barrel is from Coy Hill, which is a good thing. :)

Picked this up. Some shop didn't want their allocation, so a local shop got them instead

It brings you to a sign in page for Google account, Clay.

Barrel char, in the most wonderful way.

Yes, and I'm not inclined to jump through whatever hoops that might entail. Guess I'll wait for the movie to come out. :D

How about now?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I see Booker's. -(P

I like Booker's. :banger

Had me some Little Book(er's) last night.

It works now. :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Dropped by Binny's for Wednesday drops and my guy ask's "Are you happy or really happy?" I said happy. Apparently, I missed an email that told me to come in for my Christmas bottle. Last year I was able to buy Pappy 15 Year for MSRP, I figured no way they can best that this year. I was wrong. And really really happy.

Nice! It's been forever since I've seen any Weller around here, let alone WLW.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Wow, that's a great score, Tom!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Thanks James and Joel. :)

They're going to have to find an old Booker's Rye next year to top this one. ;) :r

Something, something late birthday gifts...

Nice pickups, Tony. Curious to hear your thoughts on the '25 GTS.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Picked up the latest Booker's, 25-04 Phantom Pipes batch. Meh, it's ok. I've come to the realization that Booker's is unlikely to best anything pre-2020 going forward. :(

I was chasing Bookers in my short time in the game, but stopped after last year.
They’re just ok. Definitely not worth the price when you can get a WT Rare Breed for $30-40 less.

Surprised to get the call from my local store that I could buy from the back shelf. Unfortunately they still charge above msrp, so I skipped the big hitters off shelf A. Got two off shelf B.

Nice pickups, Bob, I hope that EHT single barrel is a banger.

What were some of the gems on A shelf?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Stagg Jr, Blantons Gold, JD 12/14, Old Fitz 9/11, were some I can remember. There was a lot of others, out of my price range.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Can’t remember. :fp

I’m assuming all the really high end stuff went to the customers with deep pockets.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Glad that you at least got something nice, Bob.

Tried Westland Single Malt at a restaurant last night. Interesting, very grain forward. Probably one and done though.
