Duxnutz Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I went to Distil on Saturday evening and found the prices have actually gotten quite a bit better relative to what they were last time I was there. I found a few "value" pours that I ordered:° Vintage 21yr rye - $9° GTS 2010 - $13 (was a little short on the pour, so I was only charged $7)° WLW 2012 - $12I believe prices were for 1.5 oz pours, so not bad at all. Of course there were a few expensive bottles, which I didn't order, but that's to be expected.Dude, check out The Palm tavern in Bayview. I went there recently and was astounded at their list and prices. Definitely worth a visit. Kinda the place that makes me sad I live in Australia!

Kinda the place that makes me sad I live in Australia!Palm Tavern is a regular stop for me. Haven't been there in a few months, but it's one of the better places in Milwaukee. It's just not within walking distance for me, so I tend to venture there less often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 A Private Selection 4RSB that was gifted to me from a good buddy in the neighborhood. This pick has a nice rickhouse wood type finish to it, which I really like. This woodiness is faint but noticeable on the nose, fades behind a nice Goetze's caramel and dried flower palate, and really pops big time on the finish. Outside the norm for my palate from a standard Single Barrel pick, and so, a real treat for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

393foureyedfox Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 had some WTRB while making dinner. now re-trying the Jailers TN whiskey i grabbed at half price clearance. i still maintain it's rather dickel-esque, and the color is rather light.

bin31z Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You can pay more and have more complex ones. But for 23 bucks, I'd challenge you to find a better bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 VOB6 and HMcK 10yr.I really dig the VOB6 - a fine bourbon for about $13 a bottle. Not as fond of Henry McKenna 10yr BIB. Some here love it, especially store select bottles. I don't dislike it by any means, but I can't get past the wood notes I get. Too strong. Not my favorite or one I need to repeat.

squire Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've had some McKenna that was very good and some that was less so, maybe batching would iron out the inconsistencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Me too, but I've had more bottles of the latter than the former so I've struck it from my must have list. At least for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HD 335 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You can pay more and have more complex ones. But for 23 bucks, I'd challenge you to find a better bourbon.I loaded up on a 2003 store pick last year and it's a fantastic value. I tried three different barrels and stocked up on a K&L pick that I found had more caramel and vanilla on the nose with a better finish. At first I thought I was going overboard getting 9 bottles but now I'm down to 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardbrown Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 So my wife and I are expecting our first child. Due date was October 23rd. Yesterday they told us she was high risk and they needed to induce. So while packing I guess I was forgetting stuff, putting things in wrong places, and dropping things. She then out the blue says "hey you might want to fill up your flask and bring it". I respond good idea. And here I am sitting with a great wife and some great bourbon.

Mardbrown Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 If I ever get married again, I want one of those!Joe and Phil thanks for the kind words. Yea I must say I really lucked out. We went old school decided not learn the baby's gender. By the way, I filled the flask with some Evan Williams BIB. It's been my everyday go-to since I got the bottle. I like both Heaven Hill 4&6 BIB better but the EW BIB is more accessible to me so I lean on it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
