I'm new here and have been enjoying the discussions. I'm curious if I could get some feedback from some of the pros here about a bottle of Old W.L. Weller Special Reserve that my great-grandfather bought in Midway, Kentucky in the 1950s. (He was born in Midway in 1895). I have been unable to find out […]
Hello, I am a new member from Germany. I am interested in Old Bourbon Bottles. Knowing something but want to learn more, so I joined this forum. Somebody offered me this bottle to buy for 2000€ (~2150USD) (Pics seems to come from a shop) Looks great, but I cant find informations about this […]
OK this is fun. A lot of info that is well known to us here but is very educational to the general public. Also nice to see Kentucky and ISC getting some national recognition.
Sharing my experience with a couple of online sources: Flaviar: It's been a horrible experience thus far. So far, I've placed 2 orders, both failed. One was lost in shipping and the other cancelled. In both cases my funds were tied up for weeks. I'll give them one more shot, but as a […]

Sitting out front on a beautiful Spring day, and azaleas blooming. It’s not overly warm, but a blazing Sun is causing my clear ice cube to melt prematurely in my glass. So, brought out my GBS Yeti mug to keep things nice. KC12 takes ice well, by releasing some sweetness, that gets overly covered up […]

Hey guys! New to the community. I recently came across a bottle I’d purchased years ago and was curious if it had any value or if anyone had any further info on how the distillery is doing? It was one of my first non-crappy bourbon purchases. Hillrock Distillery’s Solera-Aged, signed twice by master distiller […]
Anybody been able to snag a JD14 yet? MSRP looks like $150. I've had a couple feelers out to some local shops for a couple weeks and one of the owners just messaged me back this morning that they got some in and they'd hold one for me. Almost all of the big whiskeytubers […]
OK, here's my latest additions to this season's Unicorn luck: Got a call earlier this month for the 2024 MMCA – will be trying it in a SBS at the SB.com Bourbon Social on Friday nite in April. Weller Centennial will probably show up at the Gazebo Saterday nite. […]
Has anyone had a chance to try or buy a bottle of the newest Booker's release? I believe it will become an 'annual release' of a sort of super premium blend of barrels. This one is that. It has 'older' barrels than usual Booker's of late: 3-whse-locations of 8-year, 3-of 9-year, 1-10-year, and 1-14-year. Suggested […]
