whskylvr Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Spun-I hope to have an answer shortly as to batch size. I know that the Jefferson, Jefferson Reserve (Mclain and Kyne) bottle is in very small batches of 8 -12 barrels. So if they are using this same method than 7 batches would be around 2571 bottles per batch (more or less). How many bottles come out of a standard bourbon barrel (240 approx??) that would be 10 barrels per batch.I will post actual info as soon as I receive it.

dgonano Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The older Jefferson Reserve..the 15yr...had 2400 bottles per batch.These batches are probably the same amount or close. I received bottle #2397 of batch 3 and low bottle numbers of batch 4. I assume that there is a maximum number of barrels that can be dumped at one time. So each batch ,in theory, could be slightly different in character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQ+Bourbon Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I tried this one again last night, and my impression has changed significantly. This pour was much better than I remembered it being. The oak is prevalent, but I found a nice profile under the oak and the finish is weak, but not entirely absent. To be honest, I was really unhappy about having three bottles of this one until last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really anticipated you liking the JRPS on the second time around a bit more then the first...same with your Pappy 15. Wheaters tend to get better once they have been opened and had some time to breath! Revisit your Pappy 15 too and let us know what you think!

Tomorrow I'll have a new Pappy 15 to replace the tainted bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 JRPS was produced in 6 packs and 3000 cases were produced. So thats 18000 bottles. They do have more and are looking at producing an 18 yr next year. Hope this helps.An 18 yo? Great... even more oak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Lamplighter Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Since I have just about broken my fever to buy one of the ORVW 23 sets, I may give this one a second look as a viable alternative to satisfy my recent urges. Over in Memphis, the only bottles I recall seeing were from Batch 7, can't remember the proof and running $95 plus tax.Has anyone seen, or better yet purchased & sampled, this particular batch? Also, does each batch indicate a single barrel bottling? After quickly browsing thru this thread last night, all I recall seeing thus far is single-digit batch numbers. Wonder if there will be future or yearly bottlings of these until the barrels are exausted. Or, are they already exausted? That may be another bit of info being kept close to the vest by the bottler(?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor22 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Here's my suggestion, buy a bottle of Old Rip 10yo 107prf and a Van Winkle Lot B.You'll be miles ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
