That is A GREAT looking btl.

wow, I haven't seen this one yet.

It sure does like nice.

A darn good bourbon for $22. I picked on up a few weeks back.

There's a scene in White Christmas where a a dishonest hotel owner is referred to as a chiseling rat. Now I know what it means. Thank you!

These are my main go to bourbons nowadays. I feel fairly comfortable with my open bottles, and the backups I have in my bunker. With the Blanton’s, EH Taylor, ER, and Weller SR, I have one bottle open and three in reserve. I have two BT’s open (1 ps), and 4 in reserve. With MM and MM 101, one of each open and at least one of each in reserve. No worries about MM though cause they’re readily available. Other bottles I currently have open are ETL, RHF, 2021 WLW, my 2024 Weller Blend, and my HH BIB Blend. I have a few other “reserve” bottles waiting in the wings just in case. Stay tuned.

Weller’s is fairly easy to find here too. The special reserve is often easy to find at msrp I would be happy to help

I appreciate that, but I have a small stash from a few yrs ago that I prepared for the discontinued distribution of said juice. I have picked a a couple btls since to compare to my good ole days btls.. Lol Thank you for your generous offer. Now let's talk WELLER'S! LOL JK

Well it’s pretty easy to find here so I can hook you up if you need me to

The BiB is pretty easy to find in most markets, as far as I know. I have not had a problem acquiring one any where. The SiB is another story. As stated above it went KY only for some time. Sad for most of us. Maybe not those that had it when it was aged for a longer period of time( not me) but some of the longer in the tooth folks here. jk Just those that have been in the bourbon world longer than others. I can't find the SiB like I used to 3+yrs ago( almost anywhere) but it is showing up now days but more hit or miss. This was/is one of my favorite Sunday morning oatmeal pours. Pour it into your oatmeal instead of water. (Not really but I think it could easily be done and enjoyed) I am just not THAT GUY, yet.

They did go KY only for a lil while. Not sure exactly when it went "national" again but my guess is in the last yr or so. For how long? We will see. Looks like they saw the boom bust before most of us. Happy to see it again!

This evening the choice is good old OGD 114. This is IMO, one of the best, very affordable pours out there. Love this stuff.

Interesting. I can get it at my local total wine. Just checked their website. This is the one from my collection I think we are talking about?

Anwalt meant to say the mutant yeast was Four Roses, not the OF BB.

They didn't used to be hard to find before they were discontinued in Texas, so I hope they will be an every day shelter again. Found an article below about them becoming a "Kentucky Only" bottling from 3 years ago. Evan Williams Single Barrel Is Now Kentucky-Only

Sounds like DFW is priced about the same. This one was $34.99

Larceny, C922. Rightly hailed as quite good at the time, now forgotten and available for more or less MSRP. From such "dregs" does wonder arise. Silly taters.

Catching up, the past few evenings: OGD 114, Chattanooga Batch 35 Centenery cask ( finally getting a handle on this and is damn good!!). Plus a new one from Glenns Creek. the Cuervito vivo which they can't use anymore due to a cease and desist from Jose Cuervo, whatever....the bottling is distillate formulated in conjunction with Bob Robinson former Old Crow plant superintendent to get as close as they could to the OC distilled on that site many years prior. According to Bourbon Joe, it is good but "it ain't Old Crow". I wouldn't know, but I can say it is good. That's a trio of wildly different flavor profiles and all delicious.

I love that horse! See above.

A little early in the CC year. Calumet 18! I hope the bourbon is half as good as the package and bottle.

The BB was the 2013 vintage.

Was it the 16yr or 17yr single barrel?

really? Wow, I had no idea. I received this Evan Williams and the Bottled In Bond as a gift. I use them as mixers. I had no idea they were hard to find
