393foureyedfox Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I believe the green label is 80 proof. The BIB has a white label. It's not available everywhere, so you may have to do a bit of research to see if somebody stocks it around you (or one of the other HH BIBs). There's only a few stores that I know of near me that carry it.ive seen different proofs under different color labels in different states, so it depends on where you are apparantly. in KY, the gold (now apparently gone) is the 4 year, the green is the 90 proof 6 year, the white is the BIB 6 year, and the black is the NAS 80 proofer.

TunnelTiger Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 TT - what about VOB6?I quit buying after I depleted my area of 6 yr labels. I'll try the new 6 sometime this year and just hope I like it as much as the AAA10*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) I quit buying after I depleted my area of 6 yr labels. I'll try the new 6 sometime this year and just hope I like it as much as the AAA10*.Bunkered some VOB BIB 6YR during the shelf clearing period (I wasn't the only one so my guilt is minimal:rolleyes:) and have kept one open solely for SBSs. I've gone through three "6" NAS since the switch to NAS, each purchased several months apart, and it moves fast at my source so I'm figuring at least the first and the last are different batches. FWIW, I really like it and STILL can't tell any real (i.e., "bad") difference between the NAS and the 6YR. Indeed, I recently started buying the NAS BIB in multiples - starting to trust it - in order to cut down on trips (the source is not really close). It remains a favorite @ well under $20.

I do wish I had kept one bottle for a SBS but I just couldn't stop pouring.Thanks Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNovaMan Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Lately I've been enjoying Virgin Bourbon - 7 year 101 proof. Most likely a HH product. It's roughly $12 a bottle. And while not a bourbon I find myself spreading the gospel of Mellow Corn on the rocks, also about $12 a bottle. And not an everyday bottle but a local store has a dynamite barrel of OWA for $20 a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubadoo97 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 BT and 4RYL when I can find the handles are my favorite <$20 sippers. It would probably be Weller if I could get it on a regular basis.Around my parts 4RYL is under $20. It's $19.99. Never seen it less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yeah, I would call Virgin robust rather than refined, sorta like a ramped up Evan Williams Black with some edges. Good stuff that an NDP would price much higher if they could get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen it less4RYL is $19.99 here as well and the handles go for $37.99 making it an even better deal. The BT 750s are going for $25.99 and the handles for $39.99 making that an awesome deal, when I can find them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golzee Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I enjoyed the last bottle of Evan Williams 1783 ($15). It was on clearance at the time and I should have bought the other two bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p2min Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I agree that EW 1783 is a decent sipper. I can get it in my area for $13. I also really like Old Forester and Buffalo Trace. I might give BT the slightest edge over the OF for top spot for my sub $20 pour on a Tuesday. On a Friday they might switch place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
