Apologies for missing a couple months. Lots of work travel has had me on the back foot so I'm taking advantage of this holiday weekend to get one in. Given that it's our nation's birthday I thought it appropriate to choose a bourbon with an eagle both in the name on on the bottle. Plus […]
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 […]
My father passed away recently and we found an old wooden box gift set of Old Grand Dad 114 with 2 rock glasses in the back of a cupboard. My dad had not drank for years, and we are guessing this set was a gift, from some time in the early 1980's. It is in […]
At my local liquor store down the road they have Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend batch #308 for $199. Does anyone know anything on this, what year of juice is being used? Have they tried it? How does it compare to previous batches?. I love Good Times cigar blend, but want to make sure it’s worth […]
I made a similiar thread about three years ago, which is locked now, but I went from over 400 to 1300 in that time with almost 400 of them being bourbon/rye. I'm definitely slowing down at this point. How have your collections grown in recent years?
Out and about today, I spotted about 2/3 of a one liter bottle of Jack Daniels Old No.7 at an estate sale (I know, another dumb estate sale story). According to the state tax stamp, it was bottled in 1983. The liquid was not cloudy, looked to have been stored in a cabinet in the […]

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 […]
A friend inherited his father’s liquor stash and this bottle is among the stash. I’ve been attempting to help find info on it but not having much luck. I ran across this site while searching so joined to see if anyone could assist also great site to join, didn’t know it existed so thanks in […]
Been looking for this one, but not willing to pay $500 plus. The RR13 has been a favorite pour of mine since they arrived, and I have been lucky enough to put a few back at a fair price, as well as finding one single rickhouse CNF at retail. Cannot wait to see how the […]
