rcb4d Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Is this site still active? When I try to link to it from my FB account I get a broken link message.Very much so. I responded to an offer of PVW 20 - for which he wanted $450. He made it sound like that was a great deal since we could do the hand-off in person (I venture to his part of the state 1-2x month) and not deal with shipping. I was just curious about how much gouging actually took place on BX. I've accepted that I may never own a PVW bottle, and will probably only get a taste some day at a whiskey bar.

I will try again later. As for the PVW, get on as many lists as you can and I bet you will eventually get a bottle. I won an ABC lottery for a PVW23 at retail. I must confess though that it is not one of my favorite bourbons. I had enjoyed it at special dinners a few times but now it mostly just sits on the shelf like a trophy or something. :frown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeox Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Please remember to keep specific BX price discussions out of the SB forums. You can do as you please on other sites, but don't drag the dirty laundry back here.Thanks for your cooperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb4d Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 sorry, I only posted that to illustrate how bad the price gouging was over there. I'd delete my post, but it would still be shown quoted by NW.I live in a controlled state, so there's only one list and it's quite long. And there's only one bar in town serving "high end" whiskey, but the service is horrible and it's owned by a complete ass. I may use my next trip out to Vegas for some unicorn bourbon tasting.

Pick up a PVW if you happen to stumble onto one but no need to dread over one, coming from an obsess PVW guy. Many of a us have it bunker and happy to share.

squire Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'm sure some would think me fortunate to have been around when Pappy sat on the shelves for lack of interest but I don't miss it. I do miss Yellowstone Mellow Mash but not Pappy. I suppose everyone who hasn't tried it want's to just to see what all the fuss is about and some who have determined it was just that, a lot of fuss.

theglobalguy Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The modern brands (say the last 15 years or so) are brought off the still and put into the barrel at higher proofs than the SW process and the resulting whisky is less rich for that.

squire Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The modern whisky is still good but we had to develop the SB blend to make it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 That's true Jack but to a large extent I'm speaking of the modern wheaters when I describe them as being somewhat lacking. 20 years ago we bought Weller 7/107 and Van Winkle 10/107 by the case but those bottles were filled with Stitzel-Weller whisky. The modern brands (say the last 15 years or so) are brought off the still and put into the barrel at higher proofs than the SW process and the resulting whisky is less rich for that.At what proof did SW enter the barrel vs. Current BT ?

squire Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 There are some exceptions (Wild Turkey) but the industry standard now is 160 proof off the still and 125 into the barrel. Years ago it was a lot different, Stitzed-Weller was 103 off the still and into the barrel coming out at 107 after aging. There were some other differences, SW used open cookers, fresh yeast and a pot doubler for their column still, but the main difference is proof in the making.

squire Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Oh, you asked about BT. I presume they barrel at 125 proof which is the legal max for Straight Bourbon. It has to be that much for Stagg to age out with as high a proof as it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smknjoe Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 What's Turkey's proof off the still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Until recently it was 105 off the still and into the barrel which is why the barrel proof Rare Breed is 108.4. They are now using 115 off the still and 110 into the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
