GaryT Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 How is it? Any good?Not bad - definitely worth the $25 price. With a bit of water it really opened up nicely, and I expect it will continue to improve with some open air time as well. While I'd agree with TComp 99% of the time, I did have to pour out a bottle of Henry McK BIB 1B because it was not good. Tried it several times, and whomever "picked" that barrel should be fired (but thinking of all of the bottles I've bought, 99% is probably pretty close!)

BourbonGuy Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I believe Craig is personally responsible for the selection of barrels that go into Evan Williams Single Barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintilian Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I picked up some value bourbons today: FR, EWBiB, and VOBBiB. I've never had any of them, and I look forward to checking them out. I plan to do a comparison tasting between EWBiB and VOBBiB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcam1075 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 My LS just selected a barrel of Eagle Rare 10. I was worried about ER10 changing along with the labeling, but now I am less concerned because I have been able to bunker a few due to the barrel select they did. At $24.99 a bottle a few are going to the bunker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 If you are confident in their barrel selection abilities, then $24.99 is a great price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintilian Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 If you are confident in their barrel selection abilities, then $24.99 is a great price!Exactly. $25 is a great price. I paid 32 for a bottle of ER10 a while back. Then again, everything seems to be more expensive in Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpse_welder Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I got a bottle of Barterhouse, reluctantly. I have been going into a little liquor store for a few weeks looking for dusties and whatnot, and the owner ordered some bottles just for me. I didn't want to do it, but he sold it to me at no profit to himself, so I thought it better to begin a long, prosperous relationship. The whiskey itself is better than I thought too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad_scientist Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Impulse buy, Stagg Jr. 2nd batch at $55. Shockingly, I absolutely love it. It's like the tipsy cake my aunt used to make, or maybe a hot rum raisin cake.I do not like BT stuff all that much, but I really like this and it might qualify for my very first "bunker" item, the word I hate most in all of this forum.

thebwood Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not a bourbon but worth mentioning. High West Double Rye. I've actually never tried it until tonight. Wow. This stuff is insanely over the top. I love it. Also, paid $35, which is pretty decent for this I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like both the Rendezvous Rye and Double Rye. However, based on price, the Double Rye is a better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) I do not like BT stuff all that much, but I really like this and it might qualify for my very first "bunker" item, the word I hate most in all of this forum.It's just a word.... Just call it "basement storage" if needed. That's the term I use around the house. What doesn't fit in the cabinet bar upstairs is kept in basement storage, in plain unprinted cardboard bottle boxes that one of my local large liquor stores uses for catering delivery.Just this week, we started to move boxes out to a storage unit as part of emptying out the basement and main floor of the house for a kitchen replacement and some other minor construction. That's when Mrs. Kalessin noticed that there are seven and a half boxes of "basement storage" at 12btls/box. Five boxes are all whiskey.I got that look from her, and a bit of mild teasing.

TunnelTiger Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Unfinished basements are perfect for this and leaving the occasional spider web about keeps the Mrs from investigating.Six boxes of six down there now. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
393foureyedfox Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 went on a junkyard and bourbon hunting trip today, in tampa. Looking for 80's mustang parts, and just to see what kind of bourbon stuff you can find in tampa, since there doesnt seem to be a large bourbon crowd here. for the most part, not much. I did manage to find some parts for the Fox project, and also, somehow came across a distilled in 87/bottled in 95 bottle of 8 year old Booker's, at retail. It was old enough it didnt even have the stupid box around it. I got to talking to the owner, after I paid for it ($50), asking how long he'd been in business. he said 4 years. I asked if he bought out the store, and he siad no, he just opened it from scratch. Neither of us could figure out how he ended up with a bottle that old. He said everything in there he bought himself from his distributor over the past 4 years, and somehow it just landed there. there was also a bottle Bookers 2004/2011, which fits with his 4 year business story.who knows, but I couldnt pass up a 1995 Booker's. Ive got so many things open right now, though, that its gonna be a while before getting into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
