I kinda felt a little bad about relegating that empty to the recycle bin. FWIW, I wonder if Sarah knows that she has somewhat of a cult following here among SB members. Biba! Joe The only 7 I have come across was in a shop near St Simons. Was considering buying it until I saw Weller 12 for $130, Bookers Rye for $999, BTAC at $750. Put the bottle back and walked out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome, i was wondering how cool is it to have the honor of tasting some BT barrel proof. What it would be if they will decide to release it ?? Not big expert on BT mash bills. Man, you did a great job filming, ask for two ;-)) Cheers! Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUfan99 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Picked up an Elijah Craig Total Wine store pick. I asked an employee if he knew the age of the barrel they picked and he said he thought 3.5 years. Instead of believing him and putting it back I held onto it. He promptly changed the subject and asked me if I had ever tried Chestnut Farms. I must say the bottle was very snazzy. He went in the back and got me a sample too. Not bad but $50 and no better than WT101. I passed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on Campfire. One of my favorites. It's strange at first taste but just the perfect amount of smoke. I think you'll really like it. I haven't cracked my MWND yet, but of all the other HW offerings I've had, this ranks highest. Very unique taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I actually wasn’t looking for anything, but just so happened to spot some ER that was on sale for $29.99. Lowest price I’ve seen it around here in a very, very long time. Of course I had to buy one. Biba! Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbrink Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 My brother gave me a bottle of Bond and Lillard for my birthday which to me is the definition of a perfect gift something I wanted to try but wouldn't spend the scratch on myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
