I was able to grab 4 out of the 5 bottles from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (2008) yesterday. The only one I didn't get was the William Laurie Weller. I'll check back with my shop today and the rest of the week to see if it comes in.

There is one that I've hesitated to mention, as it is not available in the USA. However, it is excellent, very reasonably priced. A BOTL that I was trading with and did a couple of buys for from Canada, picked up a bottle for me, as well as a bottle of "Havana Club 7". It's a 10 yo "Alberta Springs". At 40%/80 proof, it's a very smooth, very complex, easy going bourbon, and has distinct honey nuances. In fact, I am almost done with my second bottle, and I no longer have the contact that I had. I hope to make a connection with another BOTL from Canada, for a trade, etc.

HHHMMMM, I have seen the 7 on the shelves, but have never tried it. I will have to look the next time I am in the store and perhaps try a bottle.
So far, I have not tried that many bourbons (considering most go $40 plus up here), but my favorite is Buffalo Trace.

Remember now, the Havana Club 7 is a Rum, not a bourbon! I've heard and read many good thing about the 7, however, for me, it's not very impressive.

Well, I'll tell ya, at least for me, I much prefer Aberta Springs 10 over the standard Crown Royal anytime. Of course, everyone's taste is different. BTW, are there any other, longer aged, versions of Alberta Springs?

I have heard that they have done a 25yr in the past, but have not personally seen any. Definitely something to keep an eye open for.

I agree 100 . I can get a fifth of black label EW for $11. It makes a fne Boubon and coke. The EWSB ( I am enjoying one right now) is great on its own. Did you also know tat in 1964 when LBJ was in office, Bourbon was declared " A distinctive prodct of the US" and was recognized by Congress as "America's Native Spirit".

Great thread. This led me to go to my local place and they had three of the Buffalo Trace Antique edition. I got the George Stagg. Got home. That stuff is 141 proof!!! Tastes good though.
Thinking heavily about swinging by tomorrow and picking up the other two kinds. I paid $50 bucks for mine. Is that about right? They had the RVW 20 year for $100. didn't get that though

Pass on the Pappy Van Winle 20. $100 isn't that great of a price and you are better off buying the Pappy 15 year. The 20 is over-oaked (to long in the barrel) in my opinion. Just my ![]() |
