Favorite bourbon/ whiskey...

Is McKenna BiB really 13? Man I was over paid.

 

Man I love the color of that

 

Per the Booze App

McKenna Bib MSRP $42
Weller Antique MSRP $49
Blanton's MSRP $57

Considering today's market, you did really well. I live close(within 50 miles) to both distilleries and you can't buy them for that price there let alone find them.

 

Seriously dark , sinister

 

I just hit them up, I'll be fine in texas next white tail season. On my radar now...

 

I was mistaken. They have another bottle in the bond offering that is 13.99. I didn't realize that was the 10 year.

 

I use the booze app to check prices sometimes too

 

It is a very good tool for bourbon hunters. Especially if you come across something you are not familiar with.

 

The Mrs. & I thought we would give this a try.

 

I’ve been having trouble finding Larceny in stores near me. So been getting my back up Bulleit and proper 12. Told my soon to be brother in law months ago if he’s ever out and finds some, grab me a bottle or two.

He just sent me this

 

What a good BIL, last thing mine got me was a hole in my boat lol.

 

Ooof

 

UFC lineup. Mgp heavy

 

Reload complete!

 

I have been blending this with the EC barrel toasted (not sure if that's frowned upon)

And man alive does that make an awesome pour

 

Not at all. Look up "infinity whiskey"

 

Barrell makes some good stuff. I had their Seagrass 16 yr ($250/bottle) last week at a whiskey bar in Pensacola. It was 130 proof, but REALLY good. Didn't drink that hot.

 

I have mixed double oak and 1910 and it’s damn good and both easy to find. EC toasted is way too hard to find for me to mix the only bottle I was able hunt down.

 

I could see that being great, basically a toasted cherry fest.

 

Hey - I see you're in SC. You're in one of the few states where you can buy Reservoir whiskeys. They have a 100% wheat mash bill whiskey that you should absolutely try! It's one of the brightest, most unique, and best-colored whiskeys I've ever had.

They also have a 100% corn and 100% rye offering that I haven't had a chance to try yet.

You're in one of the few states they distribute to - the distillery is out of VA though. I'll be in NC at the end of May and plan on driving down to SC to find some.

 

Order placed. This is my largest single-ticket whiskey purchase to date..

Stupid Utah. Having shipped to a place a colleague who orders a lot of wine by the case told me about in Evanston, WY. I love capitalism - this place is making a living out of what we in Utah call the "Zion Curtain."



Now the waiting begins. =(

 

Shall put on my list to try

 

Found these two today. Haven’t heard of the Limited 101 Release but figured I’d give it a try. The other is a nice smooth one (if not the only one) from JD that I tried at a bar a while ago.


Side Note:
You guys ever wonder if we actually drive the prices of this stuff up ourselves? By sharing pictures, keywords online for SEO algorithms to find and telling you all how good something is, is actually getting products more popular???

 

I found the Sinatra was the smoothest JD I ever tried, have only had the SB Barrel Proof, never had this bottle. You think this is smoother? As far as posting pictures here, I don't think this has any effect on the prices.

 

I’ve heard great things about 101. Yet to find a bottle. Let us know what you think.

 

This is much more palatable after being open a few months.

 

I’m 100% convinced all bottles are better after being open a month or two and being below the shoulder of the bottle. The neck pour phenomenon seems legit to me.

 

Hells yes.. This is my jam for sure.

Blade and bow will always be a good drinker for me. Doesn't matter on the age statement. However, that Garrison Bros Cowboy is one of my all time favorites.

 

Good to hear. They had about 8 bottles left. Said it’s been on the shelves for like 6 months. I’ll open it next week if I can and check it out.
