Enoch Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 The local VA ABC here in Virginia had WT Tradition for $85 closeout. Don't know what it usually goes for but I picked up 3 bottles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor22 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I gotta tell ya...I haven't been party to a 4R barrel purchase, yet. So, I can't speak of AY v JR. But, if you pick a HH barrel, Rob Hutchins is a freakin' blast! Our group had an absolutely great time with Rob. He's top-notch knowledgeable, and better yet, a heck of a lot of fun.Agreed about Hutchins. A super guy to work with and loads of fun. Must have skipped the humorectomy that so many in the biz seem to have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarnv Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Bowman 17yo 147.5 proof. This is one hot whiskey that is unpleasant to even attempt at CS. Water does not seem to be a friend. Will let it air out for a few days but the jury is still out on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compliance Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Picked up my K&L Willet 21 (the SW single barrel). Also grabbed a Willet 5yr 110 proof rye. First pour of the rye is pretty good. How does this compare to Handy? Willet is only 1 year younger for less than half the price, and I've always passed on Handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurant man Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Got three vintage 17 bourbons getting delivered tomorrow. Hopefully they are worth having. Any love for these here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavius Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Got three vintage 17 bourbons getting delivered tomorrow. Hopefully they are worth having. Any love for these here?They seem to vary, in my experience. I had a bottle a year or two ago that was great. However, I picked up two bottles recently and the one I've opened so far has been merely decent. But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronWF Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Picked up another AAA 10yr. I just can't pass it up when I see it.I've only very, very rarely seen these in Chicago, but lo and behold, there was a whole case on the shelf at my regular Binny's last week. I recommended it to a couple small fry looking for good, cheap bourbon.I like these young Barrel Proof LDI Ryes...I really do.... But to me, the Handy is way better. And, worth twice as much.Not to mention night and day difference on the palate.That corn makes all the difference in the world!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
