Welcome, Iceman! I'm fairly new to bourbon, myself. I picked up an Old Forester Bonded a few weeks ago but have not had the chance to try it yet.

What part of Texas are you from?

I've seen and read about many different techniques about allowing a drink to "breathe" and I think that often it depends on the individual. What works nicely for me is to gently swirl a freshly...

sku - Thanks again. I'll go by Hi-Time if I get the time, we may want a special bottle to celebrate. If we find any spots we think are really good, I'll pass it on.

gblick,
Thank you for the information. Now things make much more sense about what to look for with the OF BIB. If I recall correctly, mine is a DSP-KY-1, so no S-W. Still looking forward to...

Tim – I have a bottle of Old Fitzgerald BIB and a bottle of Very Special Old Fitzgerald 12 yo and they both indicate “Louisville, Jefferson County” on the labels. How can one examine a bottle of OF...

Randy,
I appreciate the information on the various Pappy, etc, bottlings. This is an area (which distillery is associated with which bottling during particular time-frames) that I’m still trying to...

I feel very much like a rookie here. People are talking...

Dave,

whiskeyhatch,

I agree with gblick that both the Lot B and the PVW 15 are excellent. On the Spec’s web site they are showing the cash price for the main store downtown on Smith Street to be...

Thanks for the replies.

TNbourbon – I’ve tried the 1792 at Downing Street (came highly recommended there) and enjoyed it a great deal. Just haven’t added it to my collection yet. I went a...

I have been reading the SB site for quite a while and have learned a great deal here. I’ve made some recent postings so I thought I would introduce myself. I am much more knowledgeable of Single Malt...
