    Rubbish! Keep in mind these are single barrel offerings, and as such may differ quite a bit bottle to bottle. My bottle was stunning, and much less woody than the 120th I had. 17-years is about as long as Rutledge lets his bourbon age, and releases of FR that old are few and far between with most of the LEs coming in around 12 years. Going by the gift shop bottles I've had and the LE 100th, I'd say that OBSV holds up beautifully in old age.

    As long as it was reasonably priced, I'd pick up any past FRLE I saw on the shelf.

    I will add that I don't really think any bourbon holds up well past 15 y/o, so take my opinion with that particular grain of salt. Also, Aaron's face is rubbish. BURN.

    You guys are driving me nuts on this.
    I honestly can't remember what it tastes like.
    But when I look at what is bunkered and there are only 2 of these then I must not have thought to much of it.
    However, here's what I'm gonna do, I'll take a trip over to that eBay thang, snag another and then shout it out to ya!

    What's a typical retail price for this? Saw more is being released in a few weeks.

    Sounds Non-ridiculous for BP 17.
