Which Water of Life Did You Purchase Today?

[Yeti]

I found it to be very fruity and lively with a good dose of smoke from the younger whisky in the mix, but I haven't tasted in many months. I'm going to open one of the bunker bottles tonight and compare notes.

Found a minor stash of Balvenie Founder's Reserve recently. As always looking for your advice, guidance, and input. Reading pretty good things about it for the most part. What say you?

[squire]

I liked it well enough to buy it by the case.

[MyOldKyDram]

Well, that's one solid yes. How does it compare to the Doublewood?

He said Balvenie, not Barton. Just making sure you caught that

It's quite a nice dram especially for the price,that is when it was available.I like the FR quite a bit it's creamy a touch of sherry and fruit with just a hint of peat,nicely balanced to say the least and a great bargain in the malt world.

What was the price when it was available? I know of a bottle near me for $50, which seems high. I do like Balvenie though. Picked up two 15 single barrels for $40 recently.

Very nicely balanced and yes, I also buy Barton by the case.

The ones I recently picked up from a small liquor store were $29,I believe.I think maybe '06 was the end of production or thereabouts and it was usually somewhere in the 30's at that time.

[squire]

Case price was a little over $30.00 but it's been years since I bought any.
