Yup, most of it sits on the shelf around here too.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
The guy at the gas station said a manager ordered them a year ago. None have sold. Not the type of place or location for higher end stuff. I’ll pass then. Thanks guys.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
A friends wife bought him the "confiscated" bourbon, I think it was around $150. He would send it out blind to people to prove how meh they are, he did it to me one time and I thought it tasted like a buffalo trace single barrel pick, I wouldn't pay more than $30

But I'd pay $69 for this one all day....

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
It’s a Bourbon Friday! Had a couple small pours of Larceny BP (C922 & B523). Now onto Larceny SB. Now I really understand when reviews when they say it tastes thin. It’s good, but not as robust.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Thanks! After the Larceny SB was a pour of 1792 SiB. Whew!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice day indeed, Bob.
I got a couple full proof single barrel picks from a downtown Chicago liquor store. Very excited to try both.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice, Tom. I can't remember the last time I've seen any Weller or Stagg around here.
I picked up an Elijah Craig SB B523 today.

I'm still looking for the C923, sounds like it might be a ripper.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Cracked a couple new bottles this weekend, the 2019 Maker's Mark Private Selection and Stagg batch 22A.
The Maker's is definitely the best on the 3 Private Selections ('19, '20 & '21), and I'll drink this bottle a little more judiciously. The Stagg 22A is super hot, and I'm big on high proof bourbons. I'm hoping a little time opern will tame this just a tad.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Dang, thought I might’ve had a nice score of WhistlePig 10yr SB Rye. Local supermarket had bottles in the clearance rack. Alas, still regular price. They’re just not carrying it in the store any longer.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Did manage to find a 375ml of High West American Prairie. Not cask strength. Still delicious. I think, and that’s a hard thing to remember, this was the pour my chef friend (RIP Jason) bought me a number of years back. He was running the kitchen at a very popular spot in Detroit that I stopped at before a concert. The whole evening was fantastic.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Lucked into the new ECBP at a store I hit every couple of months (that's going to change, lol).
13 years 7 months age at 133 proof. Should be right up my alley.

Nice grabs! People have been asking for it feverously around here, the store owners are telling them to buy more B523 so the distributor will give up the C's. I'd rather overpay and have one shipped in

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice score Tom! Patiently waiting for it to drop around here.
Ben, it definitely tasted young, but not overly so. Had a nice sweetness to it. At $22 for the smaller size, it was worth it to try.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Where are you in MI? I am on the east side and cannot wait for it to drop either. Seems like we are usually a few months behind after release unfortunately.
