Whoever it is, it's definitely not me. I'm just lucky to know a few of the great Four Roses connoisseurs.

Very impressive Josh,your FR's stash has me more than a bit jealous.:grin:

Finally completed my Four Roses Single Set and got everybody out for a photo op. Everything behind the front line is a mashup of 1BLE, GS, and three bottles from the selection that P&M was a part of. Also, my 2012 and 2013 FRSmBLE, and BTACs updated with this years members.

Have you tried our selections yet? We are pouring the final three bottles from our "F" selections at a charity event this weekend along with the 125th small batch.

4R kicked in some nice 125th rocks glasses and Jim Rutledge signed a few bottles for us.

Nice pictures Josh...glad to see more jumping on the FR train!

Look at that, there was one right at the edge of the cabinet asking to join the active duty list.

I'll post some thoughts in the appropriate thread.

That is the cream of the two. Airtime makes it even better.

I like the same yeast different mashbill strategy. I think we will use it again next time.

Great stuff there Oscar...those Curtis/Hightower bottles are like gold around my house...so fruity!

[hn4bourbon]

You guys sure have some stash! Impressive!

[Old Dusty]

Ok Oscar, Bob, Josh....I'm out of the crowning business! Congrats to the three of you on your diligent efforts and fine collections. More so because you actually enjoy them.

[MyOldKyDram]

Holey moley me oh my!

[WAINWRIGHT]

Most impressive Oscar!What were the details on the SB you and Tony did?The older bottles of the FR you have are a beautiful display pieces to say the least and your hoard of 09 Marriage ain't bad either.:grin:

[Old Dusty]

and your hoard of 09 Marriage ain't bad either.:grin:

That caught my eye as well. Nice year to have stocked up!

[Yeti]

Good Morning Gents, I thought I'd toss mine in here as well.

See, I told you guys it wasn't me.

Freakin' phenomenal Oscar. Awesome collection.

[BoyScout]

Just returned from our annual trip to the Red River Gorge with this inventory. Old Scout 6, 10, and Rye were the favorites. ER17 wasn't bad either and a couple took a swing at Staff Jr.

[OscarV]

What were the details on the SB you and Tony did?

Tony aka ACDetroit was asked by the owner of the Throughbred Shop in Lexington, KY if he'd like to come along and help pick a barrel for his store.

He also said to bring someone else along who knows bourbon and Tony asked me.

It came down to 2 barrels, Sal the store owner and his wife chose a different one than what Tony and I chose.

Cliff aka Barrel_Proof was along too and he liked the one Tony and I chose and he helped us lobby for our choice and we got it.

What Tony and I got had the sticker on it and the rest had the Throughbred Shop ID on it.

Sal no longer owns the store, that was 5 years ago.

Below is a pic of Jim Rutledge and me in April 2012 on another barrel pick.

[WAINWRIGHT]

It's always interesting to trace the history on some of these picks and see how they've come to be.I've never been part of the tasting panel on a barrel pick but I hope to this spring with a local store I think it will be a rather enjoyable experience on my end and thanks for the input.

[KySalesRep]

Wow, guys! Great pics and bottles. I'm just standing here trying to hide my Four Roses boner in my shorts !
