I would agree about the continuity issue. I just wonder if they are using the special releases to get the name out there and get some buzz on it and then let it settle into a regular release. On the...
It seems to me that BT may be using the CEHT label to create a program of rye bourbons to parallel the Van Winkle wheated bourbons. If that is the case, $55 for this age class seems reasonable.
I meant to mention this also. There is a lot of different stuff going on here. Something different jumps out every time. Especially since it has been opened awhile.

Wow! I happened to pour some of this one a few minutes ago and fired up the laptop and lo and behold, it is BOTM!
So, I am going to post some thoughts on the fly. I haven't done that a lot so be...
Some people just don't like the Heaven Hill profile. Is that the issue, or is it a bad bottle?
To my taste buds, EC12 is assertive and a bit spicy. It can have some burn on the end, but not too...
I am always open to a value pour, but I am not a fan of this bourbon. I find it one of the most bland I have ever found. I bought it as a cheap mixer, but I found it so bland that mixing it with...
Welcome from the LBC!
I have compared ORVW 10/107 to Weller Antique and ORVW 10/90 to Weller 12 side-by-side and while I like all four, I would have to say I taste definite differences between the ORVW and Weller. The...
Welcome to SB, Hitby!

Congratulations on your baby to be. My daughter's birth...

I would recommend as a newbie you work your way around different makers and different styles. You don't necessarily need to spend a lot of money to do that. I recommend focusing on the styles of...
John,
You need to get some more of your product out to California! I would love to try it, but when I checked "where to buy" and the closest place is San Francisco. Any plans to expand into Los...
How about something exclusive and not readily available in every liquor store, but not impossible for him to buy again if he wanted to? I think anything from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection or...
I happen to have picked up a bottle of VSOF about two months ago. I think I paid around $33 for it. I get some caramel and mint and a longish spicy finish. I am not getting much on the nose,...
Thanks!
I have never tried cabin still, but I see it around here so I may pick up a bottle to give it a try.
Maker's Mark was probably my second bourbon (after WT101) many years ago. I don't...
Hello to all from Long Beach, CA.
I have been a lurker for quite awhile, but I recently decided to participate.
I have been on the bourbon bus for longer yet. Since my college days, really. ...
