Armagnac Garreau - Bas Armagnac - Vintage 1974 - 50YO - Cask 7499 - 51.2% it’s this if the link doesn’t work. I’m so clueless on Armagnac but want to buy a couple

This month's dead soldiers.

I've experienced the same.

Putting together and sipping a new solera bottle. Starting out with a blend of Heaven Hill BIB, Wyoming Whiskey Outryder, and Driftless Glen. So far so good! Very malty and smooth. Frank August bottles make superb decanters. Freddie approves! (Well, I approve and Freddie watches me drink.)

Need an opinion on if the juice is worth the squeeze. Thx in advance https://www.cdully.ch/shop/p/armagnac-2003-w4slk

These two are never passes if at, or near, MSRP. The Daniel’s is simply magnificent (and, not always available here), and the 1792 is my favorite in that Barton line.

I've had worse nights.

Just fair to middlin’.

Delord XO 15yr My initial impression wasn't very good. The flavor felt really weak the first crack of the bottle. It is much more present now. Torres 10 (Spanish brandy) Surprisingly good. Very strong grape brandy flavor, but a little astringent. It isn't noticeable in a cocktail at all. I still haven't opened the 10 generations yet...

Finished off a Virgin 101 KSBW a few minutes ago to celebrate the completion of indoor cleaning chores. Bottle had about a 1/4 inch in it. I'm back to my OGDBIB later tonight although we are having classic bourbon highballs for dinner - 4RYL+ginger ale+a real maraschino cherry over ice. YUM!! all over today.

Wife bought one of those some time back. It is pretty good. I even drink it.

Well, we had to go to Sam’s Club today. What can I say? FWIW, they will be shared.

Maybe you could open one, try it, and post some tasting notes.

I have two bottles I picked up for retail in NC… didn’t realize it was that rare

Not too bad of a day today.

I've been looking for W.B. Safell for a long time, and went on a drive over lunch, and found 3 bottles at my local liquor store! I am a huge Wild Turkey fan. I'm excited to open a bottle tonight! Also, the store has some Woodford Reserve 121.2 on the shelf, so am tempted to make a return trip, we shall see.

Yesterday started with FR Sib select( sooo good), James E Pepper, and a WT101. Fine selections........

I know of a retailer with it available now to order. It's a bit pricey, though.

NFL Draft pour...

This was the bottle that sent me to WLW Heaven. I had been slowly converting from decades of Scotch as my primary to bourbon. This viscous nectar was the point of no return. Like remembering where I was when the news came Elvis died I remember every detail of the evening where the 14 WLW was on the bar menu at our favorite MEM restaurant. The flavor explosion overcame the highest proof whiskey I'd ever had. So surprising each taste was a heightened delight of the previous sip. WOW. That experience is why I adopted my icon when I joined this group. Thanks for the pleasant reminder Gary, and enjoy the bash at Bardstown.

Pre-gaming for the NFL draft.

I couldn't help it, the FOMO got me and I broke down and bought the Booker's today. Good news was that the Costco checker said, "Oh, I've been waiting for that" which led to us talking about bourbon, and I invited him to the West Coast Whiskey Club bottle share party this Saturday.

It was an online purchase.

Yessir. $79 yesterday

What. The. Heck.
