I'd pick up a Willett rye and a bourbon. I've never had a bad bottle from them and they are not offered in my area, so I always pick up a couple when I'm in town.

Just went thru there on my way back from Nashville to PA. A couple of the TPS private barrels I picked up were the Willet 5 yr SB, Bowman SB #45 and Hancock Presidents Reserve. However, a real gem if you can't get it where you are is Ancient Ancient Age.
Sshhhh. Don't let more cats out of that bag! :grin: With that posted, Jay does pick great PB's of AAA!Quote:

That is bad news. Like you HP, I think the TPS Triple A 10's have been great (Or, if you've been in a loud pub for a couple of hours with 10 buddies, that's the H&H&H 10 yr :lol:). Much better than the normal release to my taste buds. I have a normal release that was gifted to me at Christmas by a good friend, and though I find it OK, it only makes me pine for the TPS bottle. To me, there is an overall silkiness and richness to the TPS bottling, that the off-the-shelf version doesn't possess.Quote:

Have fun!
Well I picked up a bottle of old scout (TPS barrel selection). Its 7 years old and 120.8 proof, DSP-IN-1. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Does anybody have any thoughts about it?
Sorry about the crappy cell phone picture

I got a bottle a little over a month ago. I like it. I got floral up front with not to much going on in the finish, but for the price and proof a good value. I would purchase this again if it is still available when my bottle is empty but it's not something I'm going to worry about rushing back for.Quote:
