Very nice, dark cherries, cinnamon, vanilla, tabacco. licorice. The heat disapate's pretty quickly, never really notice this before in any other bourbon, lol Elijah Craig (11 Yr. Old) Barrel Proof 1789 (Batch A124) (119 Proof)

Picked this one up a few weeks ago and while I’m not usually a fan of bourbons, I am enjoying this one!

I'm jealous. I love Pliny. But I so rarely can get my hands on it. Enjoy!

Great deal!

I saw a video review of that one that gave it a lukewarm review so I have steered clear of it. Your feedback seems to reinforce that. Hopefully some air time will improve it for you.

Flatboad 125 proof. This was in a blind tasting on the YouTube channel It's Bourbon Night (v.2.0 post Sara) where it beat out EHT Barrel Proof 2021 release 127.3 proof. Needless to say, I was intrigued. According to them it's Barton distillate and Flatboat is a store brand for the Liquor Barn chain in Kentucky. However, I recently saw this was in stock at several Bay Area BevMo stores for $55, so I had to try it. I was going to just get one bottle but I had a $20 off $100 coupon so, since I can never resist a bargain, I got two. I'll crack one tonight and report back in a couple of days. Fingers crossed it's as good as they said it is. There must be some connection between Liquor Barn and BevMo since they're sharing this store brand. The BevMo chain started out as Liquor Barn here in the Bay Area and later changed it's name.

Amen! Not too many pheasant where I hunt....

I’ll add a ditch parrot (aka pheasant), some quail and an occasional partridge to the party with my best springer spaniel at my side Top it all off with a splash of Wild Turkey sauce after the hunt and you have a slice of heaven :}

This is both a what did you purchase and what are you drinking post. My brother and sister in law were in town last week through the weekend and she's an IPA drinker. Since I didn't have any on hand we went to this little postage stamp of a storefront near me that sells beer. The entirety of the store is four coolers and a small counter with a number of taps if you want to hang out a drink a draft. They only sell single cans/bottles so you can make your own mixed six packs which is a great way to try new things. Imagine my surprise when I saw Pliny the Elder sitting there. I knew that they had started to distribute up here again last year after a long hiatus but I still had never seen one. Better yet there was no limit. I bought six and did leave some. (No guilt because the girl behind the counter told me they had already sold through most of what they got). My sister in law was trying it for the first time and she was very very pleased.

The link didn't work for me but I got a link to it in a newsletter I get. Great read.

SOS DD Out and about. Stopped to look. What can I say?

Cracked the Oban 15 CS, it's kinda disappointing. I had higher hopes on this one. Maybe it'll get better after opening, hoping so at least I like the regular Oban 14 better for half the price.

Yep, nothing's changed, same store, same sign, still selling lots of merch

I am a fan of William Larue Weller!

Well, why not?!? Poor Man's BT. No offense meant. I like. Not on regular basis but for the right price, which you found, Ima drinker!

A favorite, for me, also a Mike Andrews fan, mid-late 60s (BOSOX), and Dave Johnson (Orioles), same time-frame.

In honor of Ryne Sandberg, one of the best second basemen of all time. ️

Went on vacation to Lake Michigan this week. Went to the store to buy our groceries and this was on sale for $15. It's gonna be my beach bourbon for the next few days.

I bought a few of those a while back for ~ $37.00 off a clearance shelf and only have one left. It's very, very good...

I have not visited that store but loved their advertisement(s) 20+yrs ago. I would think they are up to the same shenanigans today???

Yeah....I'm not expert... my favorite birds are turkeys, grouse & doves....preferably with a 12 gauge in my hands.....

I agree. It’s also fairly easy for me to find in my town, and at +/-$65 it’s well worth it to me.

I picked up a bottle. I enjoyed it. That said, I find you either really enjoy Amburana or you don’t. Likely no in between. I have two other Amburana finished bourbons. One from Starlight and one from Penelope. Penelope is the more subtle of the three. The Starlight is perhaps the most pronounced.

Beaver Creek, which is next door to Vail. It’s actually a very good LS
