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 […]
This past Saturday, I needed to go to Schaefferstown, PA to get new sneakers at one of my favorite stores. I thought I'd take a small detour and stop at the former Michter's Distillery for a photo op. Here's one of my still sealed jugs from the original Michter's, with the building it was distilled […]

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 […]
