Vector_aka_VP Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I passed this up. The reviews here are mixed but, I'm weary at getting anything from the Barton distillery after my personal dislike of VOB BiB. I picked this up at the WB next to Costco in Lewisville. Same price. I think this is a new store. It had a WB store select sticker barrel number 1. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Still can't pull the trigger. Just wasn't all that exciting to me when I sampled it previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think I'd bite even at that price. I passed yesterday on Basil Hayden Rye for $45, WRBrandy for $90, Forged Oak for $68, ECBP Batch 12 for $100, and 1792FP for $50. I have the last 3 already anyway and wouldn't pay that for ECBP. There was a shelf tag for Barterhouse at $68 as well but they were all out. I might have bit at that.

At less than 7 years old, I think it's kinda pricey. The others I've bought have been considerably older and cost less.

mbroo5880i Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Passed on MMCS @ $49.99. I like it well enough but I was in a hurry and just checking out the selection. They had 3 bottles all from different batches, one dating back to 2015. I understand they try for a consistent profile but it got me to wondering whether there were slight batch variations making one batch better than another.

b1gcountry Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I've heard about variations from people on the board. My bottle has been open about a year. Batch 15-03, 111.4proofIt's good. I don't have anything to compare it to. It has a slight grassy now some nightsSent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since I've visited it, but I really did enjoy it. I find the MMCS to be far superior to the regular MM which I'm not a big fan of.

lcpfratn Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Passed on a bottle of Blood Oath Pact #3 for $99. Beautiful bottle and neat box, just not sure it's worth the money. Anyone ever try it?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I had a pour of the #2 at a bar recently, which was very good but not $100 good. If it was more like $60 it would be an easy buy. Though I'm sort of tempted to pick one up and just use the bottle as a decanter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For starters I continually find that when I revisit the same bottle I notice variations so how can I possibly be accurate in describing differences in a batch.

I will probably hold off for now since there are a few other things I am interested in. I feel similar to LGC68. I notice variations in the same bottle which has to be my palate so I am not sure I can determine variations batch-to-batch. Similar to Joe, I found the batches I have had to be enjoyable so I will put it on my fall back list should the other options fall through.

HoustonNit Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 ^Doesn't hurt to ask. I think some of these owners must think there selling rugs in a bazaar and are waiting for you to counter with $10 bucks and through negotiation get to $40 or so.

BFerguson Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 BH Rye. Had a heavy tasting pour of it at the store. Not super impressed.Barely a light, light like the typical BH profile is. Bit of a funky nose, like most Beam products, to me at least. Easy pass.BSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
