Are you still finding the Charter 101 in glass bottles (with the barley engraved in the glass) or the new plastic 750's? The latest shipment around here has all been plastic 750's. Also, send some of that ECBP "B" batch west. There's a couple of us on here from STL who's mouths are watering to try it, after hearing about it all summer.

Bourbon Fanatic Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I finally caved last night and bought the Old Forester 1920 that I've had my eye on for a few months. It was worth the wait! This is an explosion of caramel and sweet flavors on the attack with a full, robust mouth coating midpalate. You don't get the burn that you'd expect from 115 proof until the finish. The finish creeps up on you slowly with a mid-long lingering finish. Absolutely amazing bourbon! If you have the chance to buy it, don't pass it up... I never will again. It's going to be really difficult to reach for anything else for a pour in my liquor cabinet with this still in it... Happy bourboning! Cheers!

Marekv8 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 It took forever to track down the OBSO, but it puts me at 10/10 of the recipes. It was buried in a box in the back of the store and took the very helpful guy 10 minutes to dig it out. Looking forward to some comparative sampling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you also found a Little Book. It would be interesting to hear what your thoughts are on this one. Please post some tasting notes when you open it up. Cheers!

In fact it was the first time I'd seen it in NC at all most of what I have came from SC. I a fortunate to have a good source of the ECBP here in a control state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it showed up just yesterday and I was somewhat surprised to see it. I figured I'd pick it up while I had the opportunity at $70.00. I will post some notes once I get it open, but it may be a few weeks as I'll be on the road. The packaging is really well done-- a formal evolution of the Booker's DNA.

It didnt show up all summer in Kansas City, but my local grocery got 3 bottles late this past week, and one was left when I got out today.

Yes, I certainly will enjoy the Rare Breed. I pick up the 375mL bottles whenever I see them as they pack well and make great hotel room companions. Getting tougher to find now with the recent bottle change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Nothing too noteworthy today. I was doing a wine run and grabbed a couple bottles of a local store's PS Buffalo Trace.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
