Golferpimp1 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 October is not the month I would pick for that challenge. We both scored some w12 last month.....and the chances of us hitting a big allocated is slim and non...with none winning. If we do, we will certainly fail the challenge.

That's a fantastic deal. I picked up a Decades a few months ago and it was $120 (and that was with a 20% off coupon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FacePlant Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thanks Joe and Mako. Is it grounds for dismissal to admit I'm not a big 4R fan? Surely with 10 recipes I can find 1 I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely with 10 recipes I can find 1 I like. I'm pretty sure you can find one you like FP. Even though I'm not a huge FR's fan, I've had a couple of their different recipes. My favorite was one I bought by mistake. I was at Binny's once, and they had a few of the different recipes on the shelf. I thought I grabbed one that I'd heard was pretty good. (I can't remember which recipe. CRS disease) When I got home, I noticed it was an OESO and not the one I had intended to buy. As it turns out, I really enjoyed the OESO. I wasn't upset at all with my mistake. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely with 10 recipes I can find 1 I like. Not everyone loves 4R. Like me! Outside of standard Single Barrel and some OBSK, most recipes aren't in my wheelhouse. As a distillery, I rank them tied with Brown-Forman and behind HH, BT, and Beam. But, with the way B-F products are killing it with me lately, B-F may bust forward from that tie. The Single Barrel can be special, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between a buddy & me, we have now about six different PS BT & have been making our way thru. So far only one has been questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Not really a purchase but one of my good bourbon buddies gifted me a Calumet Farms for my birthday. Interested to see how this tastes. Aged stated 10 years and single rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall ever seeing that strategy used before. Once you crack it open, let us know how it tastes. Is this source or distilled by Calumet themselves?

Nm0369 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) According to my research, Calumet is Barton sourced and bottled by the same company that owns Bird Dog. The regular Calumet is alleged to be 6-8yrs old, so that 10yr stated might be very nice. The 86 proof is kind of a bummer though.

Bob_Loblaw Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Nothing officially purchased by me, but a good friend's father just bought me a few bottles of HH6. I have never tried it and am very excited to see how it measures up against the other "bottom shelfers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the OESK pick at one of our favorite stores? I think it is fantastic. I'd be happy to let you try it if you want. Their OBSV pick was pretty good too.

silverc Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Picked this up today for $28.99 at VA ABC. I don't expect it to be awesome, but it is straight bourbon (2 yr, 92 proof), and for the price it's worth taking a flyer on. Tried to find the Isaac Bowman Port Finished but it's not out yet.
