Show Us Your Stash -- Volume 3.0 (The Subliminal Verses)

[Westernboys]

Very nice collection of minis. Ever felt like tasting some or don't want to ruin the collection??

[CL]

This is some of my mini collection. Most are from the 50-70s. The good thing about minis. Most are metal caps and no risk of cork taint.

How's Old Joe taste? My grandfather used to work at Old Joe Distillery (now Four Roses). I picked up a couple unopened OJ minis on eBay, but not planning on opening them.

Old Joe is quite good if you happen upon any. Unfiltered and oil with a nice bite.

What is RX Bourbon? And what are those different Blanton's? I thought there was only one version of Blanton's?

[B1bomber]

Those Blantons represent one of the great injustices of the world... export-only versions that are available in Europe and also Japan, I think. I landed a Gold version a while back, but haven't yet acquired the Silver, Special Reserve, or Straight-From-Barrel varieties. Sigh.

[Dutchie66]

Rx was available until 8 years ago.I have bought another one, unopened, 2 weeks ago. Blanton's do have several varieties that are only available in europe but guys, my list of bottles wanted (and not available overhere) is a bit longer than your list of wanted Blanton's. I'm working on it. Where there is a will there is a way.

I'm not sure but I think Blantons has (had) 10 different label variations. I've had the silver, gold and SFTB and in my opinion, better than original. I know it's the same product but the higher proof makes it a better pour. Here's the list of various proofs that have been released over the years:

Blanton’s original
Black 90 proof
Silver 98 proof
Cask varies in proof
Gold 103 proof
Burgundy 1998 93 proof
Private stock bottle 182 barrel 126, 93 proof
Single barrel 93 proof
Green 80 proof
Super gold 103 proof
