welcome to the site! lots to learn, lots to do. especially lots to learn!

Mystery solved. I think Charter 101 popped up after Sazerac took possession of the Charter brand from United in the late 90s (99?). There was a 7 year old charter Bottled-in-Bond for quite some time,...

borchard, hello to you as well. i think i could help track down some stuff in okc, if someone else hasn't already grabbed all of it.

Wait.... do I know you already?! :skep:

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you're looking for some dusties or good deals, I tramped around norman but didn't buy much of anything while I was there. I saw some things you might be interested in,...

I'm originally from Norman, OK. Whereabouts in OK? Welcome to the board!

charter 101 was cheap, terrible stuff several years ago, but i think current production stuff is much better. I'm currently visiting my mom, and there is a bottle open here. actually a tasty whiskey,...

No problem- Enjoy the Rittenhouse! OWA and Ritt are two of my go-to's of the current, available stuff.

In fact, Rittenhouse is just about the only off the shelf label that I buy with regularity...

Beerfactory, welcome to the site. I lived in Wichita for 2 years before Tucson. feel free to PM me for some details as to what you may find there.... Not sure how much Old Forester was there to begin...

Looks like there's one off of Township Line near 86th and one at Keystone between 53rd and 54th.

capeot-

are those the screw cap beam's choice? if so, you're in for a treat. old beam decanters with corks SOMETIMES suffer (although not always, I've popped quite a few that were liquid golden),...

Don't know how developed your taste in bourbon is yet, but a good one to move from from where you are is Eagle Rare single barrel. 10 years old, like you're looking for. 90 proof, same mashbill. A...

Is it a good price on the KS? yes. I'm not sure I'd buy it, but that's a decent price.

I haven't seen one go for 300 yet. a 12 year went on ebay the other day for 80 bucks. I'd consider paying that for one. It's good bourbon, of that there is no doubt. but there are others that are as...

Eagle Rare Single Barrel was, for a long time, my go-to bourbon. I've had bottles that were okay, and I've had bottles that were great. I once had a bottle that was so freaking good that I wrote down...

I'm of an interesting opinion on this one: I absolutely love Thomas Handy Sazerac, and am not a fan of the younger NAS Sazerac. While Thomas Handy is one of my (if not the) favorite whiskeys that can...

In that case, I would like nothing better than to get ahold of some rittenhouse here in a couple of years and run a re-barreling experiment on it.

Agreed. Even 3%/6 proof can make a WORLD of difference in taste between the same whiskey.... 10% Even more so. Scott's advice is spot-on, I would have said it myself but he beat me to it. :D

You won't get any disagreement out of me about current Ritt vs. current Saz. however, I'd have to do a fly-by on the Turkey again before I say it's better than current turkey rye, because the last...

This one I visit from time to time and enjoy. Part of the issue is that It is actually of much BETTER quality than it was 3 or 4 years ago, and probably got quite a bit of bad press from that time...

This may sound ridiculous, but if you have any idea of what the recipient's "go-to" every day bourbon is (or which ones he seems to prefer) we may be able to narrow down the selection more for you.

Extra-aged for your pleasure & satisfaction?

Rutter, can you find the Wild Turkey 12 year export where you are?

Welcome to the forum! I also enjoy Wild Turkey 8 year old export, but I bet I have a harder time finding it than you do!

thanks for the post, and the invitation! I missed out on this houston trip, but if I ever come through I'll make sure to stop by your place.
