Heh heh, I'll leave it to the lawyers to hammer out the details on the years :) I haven't had any 2007s, but it's good to know that the "deadline" wasn't until later. I still don't know why they...

That's a brilliant review, accounting for personal taste, performance in cocktails, and physiological reactions :) Seriously, very nice going!
I get big Beam yeast flavor in my current bottle, as in my current BiB. My ones from 1993 to 2006 are much, much more to my taste, better than the ND stuff and what they've put out in the past couple...
Picked up a liter of the gold label BiB in Ocala, Florida for $11. First two pours were soooo delicious, like an oily corn liquor made from big, juicy corn kernels, with a bit of a minty rye kick....
I've had three experiences with the JPSs:
1. Tried the 17 year in a flight with 2010 WLW and an enormous number of 17-18 year old Willett wheaters. The JPS17 was the weakest and least flavorful,...
Hey Jason, I live downtown - if you ever want to meet up at Jack Rose or Bourbon, I'm only a PM away!
I like the Heaven Hill 6 year BiB. It started out with a bit of new wood, sweet HH corn, and some rye, and changed over the course of a few months to include big cherry notes.
I hid the rest of my...
I'm enjoying a pour right now. 4R products just got a huge spike in price in the DC area ($40 for the SmB? WTF?!) so my wife and I picked up all of the standard expressions today at places yet...
That's strange, I tried to post this under a new thread and it didn't go through. Anyway, in case you didn't know, TPS released their spring allotment of the van Winkles online (the ones they didn't...
Hey, that sounds pretty good to me! At least it has some oomph, unlike the disgustingly mundane '01 I bought on sale last year. The 2000 is still one of my favorite drinking bourbons. As in, made for...
It's cheaper than Viagra!
Wow man, the other ones you listed as liking would make me recommend EC12 to you without hesitation. Sorry you bought a crappy whiskey.
There was an issue a couple of years ago with EC12 bottlings...
Ouch! Acadiana has a great selection, but Bourbon is something special. All of my Pappy tastings, as well as old Stitzel-Wellers, have been done at Bourbon and Jack Rose. I mean, Acadiana can't touch...
Hello! New here myself (less than one month on the board). If you're ever in
DC and want to hit up Jack Rose or Bourbon, or the Willard if you're into scotch, with a fellow newbie, let me know!
Nah, no chance it's worth more than about 20 bucks. I mean, at the local liquor store I have to walk past aisles and aisles of 60+ year old Old Overholt to get to my favorite, Jim Beam White. And...
I went looking last week and you can get various ones in several locations. Here are the ones I saw myself, but I'd advise you to have them read to you at a safe distance from anything expensive...
