gurgalunas Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I passed on KO rye at $130, a couple of times actually. I enjoy rye, but prefer a bold, spicy rye. No idea on how this one will compare to my taste preference, and not in a hurry to drop that kind of money to find out. I'll try it somewhere, and know for the future. Passed on Little Book at $75. I'm not a fan of corn-forward whiskey, and since one component of this blend is corn whiskey, I'll try it before I buy it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, The Boundary Oak succumbed to old age and disease, and had to be cut down in the mid 1970's. They left a stump, but it was removed in the mid 1980's. There is a replica of a cross cut section of it at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park in Hodgenville. Hodgenville is only a short drive from Bardstown. My wife and I visited there (again) when we were at the Sampler last year. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm hoping to get a 'back-up-bottle' for the bunker before everybody else jumps on this. So, please quit hyping this wonderful stuff all over this site! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Boundary Oak has some products on the shelves now but none of them are bourbon yet. Their first bourbon was supposed to be on the shelves sometime this year. Hasn't happened yet. I've heard that it's been sampled and is not ready for the bottle yet. I have to give Brent props for holding back until it's ready. Too many bourbons are going into the bottle too young. Of course I've also heard that the product is not that good and never will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Passed on ECBP at $99 and $82, although $80 may be the new normal in our area...time will tell, and it may start to sit on the shelves a bit longer at that price.

I'll give him some props when he drops the price of the 'bullshit mystery whiskey' he's got on the shelves now by $1200 (per bottle)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhopper Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Not bourbon, but saw three bottles of Whistlepig "The Boss Hog" Rye Whiskey for $699 each - just insane if you ask me. Would never pay as much for a bottle of brown water as I pay for a new laptop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have access to PMs yet (since you don’t have 10 posts), but if you do would you mind sending me the store info on that one (via PM).

kevinbrink Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Went to a store I like today and the owner asked me if I wanted anything from the back, I took a gander through the door and noticed a Parker's Heritage, I asked him how much it was, he asked me what I would pay which was a response I didn't really care for. I told him I don't generally go over retail and his number was $280, too rich for my blood. He also tried to sell me on KO Rye, Michters Rye Toasted Oak and some other stuff I didn't want to buy and was pretty pushy about it, then for some reason he gave me a pour a Boondocks Cask Strength American Whiskey which I actually didn't mind, I left with a couple Belgian Beers and said thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few bottles of the "Boondocks" Cask Strength - VERY GOOD IMHO and let's keep that a secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be because I am mildly intoxicated and severely sleep deprived, but I found this line hysterically funny, and will totally use it the first chance I get.
