I added some additional ryes (WP and Redemption BPs), and HW Bourye for the last few years as well. I'm not sure if these are keeping in the spirit of your list so feel free to remove them. I can add more similar bottlings later if that is okay. Personally, I would love this list to not only have bottles which have ages stated on the front label, but to be a more encompassing list where we include commonly known age ranges. For instance Baby Saz is on this list but the 6 year age statement is nowhere on the label, but that is commonly known/assumed. There are a number of other regular BT releases, like C.E.H.T, Blanton's, Stagg Jr, and others that we can add reasonable age ranges for. I think including this information would make the list useful not just for tracking which bottles go NAS, but for general information. I am more interested in how old the juice is, rather than if it says the age on the label or not, but that's just me. I would suggest organizing the list into Bourbon, Rye, and American Whiskey (Mellow Corn, Bernhiem, Bourye, etc) as well. Thanks. The Redemption products are fine. I was keeping 'finished in xyz' whiskies off the list because I don't consider them true Straight Whiskies. And I agree that whiskey from major producers that age statements are pretty well known could be added; just add a statement in the notes. I don't trust any NDP if they don't list an actual age statement on the bottle. Edited April 24, 2017 by wadewood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNovaMan Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Seems like just last year it was more like $40-50, or am I getting it mixed up with something else? Edit: maybe 2 years ago? Edited April 24, 2017 by TheNovaMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dusty Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The last price I heard about was $150. Which IMO is about $120 too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No new bottle or anything! I think it was limited to 1 per tour patron. Grenades were as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't pick up the EC18, it was $199. I bought a few bottles a few years ago for $129. I like it though! The bad bourbon was a 25 year barrel that was lost, and the master distiller loved the nose on it--similar to the 27 year Parker's Heritage, but he thought it had a horrible palate and finish. They wanted to show the bad effects of overaged bourbon. I actually liked it and found that there have been some versions of EC12, and EC18 to be as oaky and tannic. Keep in mind that 25 year bourbon would have to be served in small quantities. Lovely nose, but very oaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 What's up with the 'speed-pours'? Doesn't that admit rather more air into the bottle while it's stored? Just askin'. I'm not a bit familiar with 'em, other than I know taverns use 'em for frequently poured bottles. I always assumed because it didn't matter to have them in the bottle tops, since the bottles would be emptied in a day or two. Am I totally off base on this?

We were the only people on the tour, so that may have had something to do with it, but the tour guide was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it matters any but most places have toppers for the speed pour tops to put on at the end of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
