Reviews online seemed somewhat mixed. I was in San Francisco recently at a whiskey bar and ordered a dram, which was quite good. Now I'm sad because I can't find it locally anymore. $50 +/- $5 or so and I'm all over it. I think many of the mixed reviews were for the first batch or two.

Agreed, that first batch was kind of rough, but they've been better since and are pretty consistently good now. I wouldn't not pass it up at $45-50 if I needed a barrel proofer.

I think reviews for batches 3 and forward have been pretty good. Most of the bad reviews were batch 1. I've only had 3 and 4 but have really enjoyed them and look to get a batch when it's released now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Its one of the sweetest bourbons Ive ever had, I love a lot of wood flavor and this is a wood heaven to me. Not 23, 25, year wood, just lots of very good wood, sweet flavors. The only thing I can compare it to is some of the old, Old Forester from the '80s and '90s.

HoustonNit Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Passed up handles of OGD BiB in the old bottle design for $32.Passed up handles of Old Taylor 6 years old for $20 plastic bottles only 80 proof.Left one 750 of OWA on shelf, took one, left four handles of OWA at $42 took one. We'll likely be back for OWA handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just wait it out then, it doesn't seem like the supply is limited enough to warrant paying upwards of $90 (when accounting for shipping) for a bottle on the internet. Thanks!

MOwhisky4me Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Black Maple Hill Oregon Straight Bourbon Whiskey for $99.99... Was an easy pass.

OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Is this a special release of Double Oak? $42.99 does seem very high for 375ml.It is a special release of the Double Oaked. From what I had read, the bourbon aged a full 2 years in the second barrel. It was originally only sold at the Distillery gift shop. Now, the Costco where I live is only about 25 miles or so from the Woodford Reserve Distillery, so maybe that is how they got a few cases of it. At that price, I thought it would last enough time for me to sleep on it. The manager told me that they sold out in a few hours. I had heard they were selling them for $50ish in the Distillery gift shop.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 New bottle OWA at $47.99. This store had OWA at $37.99 last year and I passed because of the price. Counter person said they just came in today and were selling quickly. Crazy. I also passed on new bottle WSR at $21.99 in a different store. Not a horrible price but I have a couple of family sized bottles in the bunker and that's enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WSR has been rising in price around here too, but there is only one place in town where it sits on the shelf: a liquor store with bars on the window that charges $50+ for a fifth of it. I haven't seen any OWA or Weller 12 on the shelves here in a few years. When I used to see it, I would pass on it to buy my Wild Turkey 101, unless I was buying it to give to my father-in-law. It will be interesting to see at what price it had to get to start collecting dust around here.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk In Elizabethtown there is one store that has about 6 750's of WSR (they seem to get more than all the others). I've seen 3 handles of WSR. The only two OWA 750's I've seen were not on the shelf but when I asked they brought them out and sold them to me. W12 . . . it doesn't exist around here. It's hard to pass something up when you can't even find it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
