My second bottle of this and it was a good one!  The store couldn't/wouldn't give me any information on the barrel so I emailed Beam.  They were nice enough to look up the barrel and replied that it was 13 years 11 months old.  No wonder it was so deep and complex.  Wish the store had more...

A very tasty vat of OGD114 and an EC PS. Unfortunately it can’t be reproduced.

I’ve been eyeing the last of this EW 7 yr for   awhile, so decided to pull it out.  Then I remembered I still had the very first “free” glass I ever got, which was at the HH sponsored Cigar & Jazz event at the 2004 KBF.   Had to dig far back into the glass cupboard to find it.  Makes a nice pairing for tonight out on the front porch swing.

Killed a turkey tonight. Been a while since I have picked up a WT 101. Grabbed it while on Business and finished it up tonight. As usual this didn’t last long in the bunker. One of the best values in Bourbon IMHO.

I've done that before too.  They are really helpful when it comes to that kind of stuff, in my experience.

Ah yes!  EW7yr.  My intro to bourbon.  I remember it fondly.  The current EW black label, while one of the better bottom shelfers, is not as good as the 7 was, sadly...

Polished off my first and only GTS this weekend... ☹️ sad to see ol George bite the dust but so happy to have been able to share with my family. That was one delicious pour... here’s hoping I’m able to snag another this fall...

After killing this bottle, I've decided not to buy another.  Too many others that I prefer at this this price point.

Although I like this, I was thinking pretty much the same thing. I managed to get my one bottle way back when, for $49.99. One store here had a bunch of it priced at $64.99, and it just sat on the shelve. They dropped the price to $49.99, and it's still sitting there. Hmmm......<_<

Ugh... $49.99?!! As an Old Forester man, my bunker would overfloweth with OF1920 at that price!

Finished off a liter bottle of Buffalo Trace SB Westport Wine & Whiskey pick this evening. It was a good barrel, not a great barrel. Glad I had it. On to the next bottle.

Finished off a bottle of Old Forester 100pf and then proceeded to finish off a bottle of Old Forester 1920... Luckily there are backups in the bunker!

Sent this guy to the recycling bin. This is a unique whiskey and quite good. I have another one or two in the bunker.

Post your comparisons when you open it. Ive tried one of the SBs, but not the older Barrel Proof.
