The reason I got sticker shock was the bottles I saw on offer were only like 4 or 5 years old. For stuff they sourced from MGP, seems like quite a reach. It's probably ok, but for that much, needs to be special. There's another brand, Old Hamer, has the same business model - youngish barrels sourced from MGP for $$$. I pass on that too.

James Pepper is outstanding. Been a little underwhelmed with the Bulliet BiB.

Picked up 2 1792 Full Proof. $50 each !! That's unheard of here!!!

I share that thought, Joe. I've had a few of the PS SIB picks a few years back that were very close to this in terms of flavor and complexity.

Just poured OGD 114. Oh, it is sooo goood!

I have been wanting to grab one of those but each time I am a day late or a dollar short( more like 20-30$ short of what the party store is asking above msrp).

Yes. It's fine but not my favorite. If you cannot find it, try a Calumet Farms which is distilled at Barton as well.

Two more for the bin. The HW is a bourbon finished in Madeira casks. it was okay. I've already bought a replacement bottle for the New Riff 6 yr Malted rye because I really liked it. I can't decide if I like this one or the similar Chattanooga 99 malted rye more. They are both very good.

I'm not very big fan of either the regular WRDO or 1910. I can't imagine liking the Double Double Oak. I did recently purchase the OF gift pack of 375 mL bottles so I'll be giving 1910 another go eventually to see if it can change my mind.

I liked it, too. But, at 8 years, I didn’t think it was that significantly better than the initial 4 year release. Perhaps, they need to push around with it.

Initial thought, I like it. But with similar age and mash bill, I prefer the new 4R SIB OESK 100 proof. My next buy will be Bulliett BIB. It's been probably 10 or so years since I bought a Bulliett bottle, but everyone has been speaking pretty glowingly about that one.

A good man to hang with, for sure.

I had the same experience with OF 1910.

Started with an EW SiB freezer pour. I don't think I'll repeat the freezer with this one. Good, but not really a hit... Just finished smoking a cigar outside in the heat; why; because I'm cool - or - maybe because Mrs. Redd doesn't let me smoke inside. Most likely the latter! Funny how after spending the last 3 days at 90 degrees, 84 is quite pleasant. Anyway, I smoked with a friend...

I don't think that you will be disappointed.

RR13 in a 2 oz in the Atlanta Delta lounge. Much better than what they serve here.

finally decided to pick one of these up after passing it up for other options the past few months.

Replenishing goto's...

I tried the WR Double Double Oaked at a bourbon tasting and it was so cloying that I couldn't finish it.

I revisited the Killowen over the weekend. I got more of the sugary rum notes on the start and then it transitioned into more dark PX notes. I liked it better this time. I raised my score to a solid 8.

Most of the Old Elk varieties I see are significantly higher than $50-$60. Most are between $80-$100 and in one case one is $140. I would submit as $50, it’s appropriately priced. Not at $80.

Second pour of the evening, E H Taylor SmB.

How awesome. I’m still waiting for a hot and humid day here. It’s coming, no doubt about it

I just learned there’s also a 12 year. Anyone tried this?
