will absolutely do so

Now if only we can find it at MSRP. Eagle Rare 10 year is getting closer to MSRP in my parts. Can't find Eagle Rare 17 even with a search warrant

Like the MSRP and the higher proof

Intended to be a permanent addition and released at regular intervals. 95 proof, msrp of $50. https://www.foodandwine.com/buffalo-trace-eagle-rare-12-11750242

All this WT talk, I went back and bought one even tho I’m in week 1 of 8 weeks dry. Also snagged some NA beers I have very little will power

That is great and what i would call a happy ending. I wad trying to find info in the archives and it appears that pick was at least 9yrs ago? How does the 15yr EC BP taste?

Indeed, GBS is for Georgia Bourbon Society. Our first barrel selection was for the standard EC12, and we kinda lucked into getting the second one at barrel proof. We called it the “Amnesia Barrel”, since it took so long to get it bottled, we almost forgot we had it!! It should have been 14 years old, but since it took a year to get bottled, it ended up being 15 yo.

I too have not met a Weller I did not like. This one is on my bucket list, but at the current market prices, it will be a hard find.

As I was finishing up my chat with Elmer last night, it was suggested that I might want to go have a talk with Bill. (No, Not Samuels) Who was I to argue?

Ha! I’m lucky that all of my magnolias are on the perimeter of my yard, which I have in a natural state, as it is up against the main road and 2 fences. So the leaves primarily fall on the pinestraw. The big one, though, does throw some l leaves on my back yard grass…. All of the magnolias back there are “Wild”, as I didn’t plant them. They just popped up. I’m guessing that they came from my neighbor behind me, as he has 2 massive ones in his front yard, which is just beyond my back yard. The big one on my yard started as a 6”high stick on the ground with 1 leaf. She’s now over 40’, and very beautiful.

I have no idea what they’re trying to accomplish with all these products. And I don’t see them sku ratting the 81 or 101. But I do think the differentiation from the NAS version could come over time. Even quickly. It reminds me of searching for the LL laser code a few years ago. When it was rumored(and tasted like) the juice was much older when they launched Longbranch.

I agree the price per year is reasonable, but agree with what was pointed out up thread, there needs to be more differentiation from the NAS version. A 12 year age statement would accomplish that for sure. Then just get rid of the 8 and let it turn into 12. I’d also like to see some special release ultra aged 101, like 14, 16 and 18. That would be fun, but unattainable

Thank you for your clarification of your opinion. As long as the liquid inside is good , I can do without the age statement but admittedly I do enjoy and would welcome full transparency from the distilleries. And as long as there is not an overly inflated price tag for having that info on the label.

That’s interesting. I love the Japanese 12. That’s a curious decision to also open that product to the US market.

Lol. If anyone gets punished, it should be me.

Be sure to try the SiB BP rye. It is one of my favorite whiskeys. They are around the 130pf but drink more like a 110ish pf. IMO

Happy birthday! I also sipped an Elmer T Lee last night. Cheers to you sir

Lol. Gotta love it when you find something you forgot stashed away somewhere. I dig the BiB and SiB versions. Haven't had enough of the 12yr or wheat to have an opinion.

I agree. I first noted this years ago in Japan. It was back in a day where I wasn't terribly interested in whiskey, bourbon. Happy to see it is coming our way.

Seeing this thread prompted me to revisit my trusty Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond. At the price point, it's a really good pour.

I did try the Jack Daniel's Single Malt last night at a tasting. I did not care for it. Will try another and see if I feel differently

That would be awesome! I've had several; of the Japanese market ones, and they're fantastic

lucky you. I've heard some wonderful things about this one.

I've been on the lookout for this one to complete my trifecta of single barrel offerings from Old Forester. The barrel strengths are very good at a very affordable price point.

Yes they are Barton.
