Need Advice: Empty Rock Hill Farms Decanter
Several months ago, Tony hooked me up with a bargain-priced bottle of Rock Hill Farms, current release. It was 24 dollars! It's almost gone. I like the decanter, and I'd like to keep using it. I'm an unabashed decanter user: if you ever have dinner at my house, you're drinking a good, yet inexpensive, wine out of a nice decanter. Marketers be damned!
I should mention that I'm not trying to deceive anyone. I just prefer the RHF decanter to a bottle with a plastic screw-top.
I'd like to ask for your opinion on how to refill my golden horsey decanter. Answer any question you feel prepared to answer:
A) What bourbons under $24 (the price I paid for the RHF) have a similar overall profile to RHF?
B) What bourbons under $24 could pass as being a top-shelf product if packaging were not an issue?
I'm excited to hear your thoughts.
Re: Need Advice: Empty Rock Hill Farms Decanter
B) I sound like a broken record here, but EC12 is top shelf disguised as mid shelf IMHO.
(also, not a bourbon, but Dickel No.12 is almost there)

Another bottle of that RHFs that Tony aquired from the Boston area :D

Doc,
Personally, I think you should refill it with a vatting of your own design. It will be unique and when you share it, it will be a pleasant surprise. What would look and taste better in that decanter than a whiskey of your own design?

I think that is a good idea. However, to answer question B. I can think of nothing better than Weller 12.

A) Elmer T Lee, Ancient Ancient Age and Buffalo Trace.
B) Weller 12yo, Weller Antique, Elijiah Craig 12yo, Ancient Ancient Age and not bourbon but Wild Turkey Rye 101.

Thanks, Andy.
I actually always have EC12 open. It's my go-to bourbon. If the bottle were uglier, I'd consider decanting.
I need to try Dickel again. I remember thinking "Flintstones' Vitamins."
Re: Need Advice: Empty Rock Hill Farms Decanter
I would use the Elmer T. Lee, as It is pretty much the same whiskey.

Tim,
Unfortunately, ETL is $33 here in Michigan. Thus, it breaks the $24 price barrier.
I agree, though...very similar profiles!
Oscar,
Sage advice as always!

Shhh! I was trying to keep one for myself "E"!
Whatever Doc, if you want the other one it's yours! Though if you agree to take it I'm making Christian delete this thread since it will be a mute point until it's gone...And I know how long the first bottle lasted:grin:
