Old Forrester Single Barrel

[qman22]

Im contacting B-F to see if we can get it bottled at barrel proof. Why the hell not?

Did you ever hear anything back?

OK, you've peaked my curiosity. I'm not ready to sign up for a whole case, but I'm good for a few bottles.

Have'nt heard anything back yet.

They have the exact same program with Jack Daniel's and the Woodford program is similar, except it has to be a mixture of two barrels.

Another way to approach this, if you're interested, is to prod your whiskey monger to do it. Not as much personal involvement, but a much lower investment.

I seem to recall Bernie Lubbers saying last night at the HH tasting that at Heaven Hill they had about $125 in each barrel at the start. Don't know if that includes the barrel! And it probably doesn't include employees and overhead. Still, in 4 years that seems like a pretty decent profit!

Just posted some tasting notes from one of the local picks in the tasting forum;

Available in two stores locally, but haven't come across it elsewhere yet. Not bad, but not worth the premium.
