Maybe I'm wrong but I interpreted his statement to mean some of the lower rung offerings from the Buffalo Trace Distillery such as AA, OC, and Benchmark which I believe are all 80 proofers.

I don't think so because he refers to it as "it" not them. I think his ire was directed at the BT namesake product not a group of products. That just leaves more for me.

Herbalthought Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 store picks in uk are non existent unless i get lucky and find one in auction. Wish i had the myriad of choice you guys have. As for under 50% well i really like wild turkey but the 101 not the 40% i feel it also flat with the lower % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I came to the conclusion that he was referring to regular old BT was because; A: it's 90 proof not 80 (unless they make a special export version) B: and it's delicisio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh DCfan problem is none of the shops in USA post out of usa That is the export only version of BT at 40%. In the states BT is 45% and pretty tasty IMO, but 45% is at the bottom of my desired alcohol percentage. I probably wouldn't be too fired up about what you had either.

Go Cats! Oooooooffffff........tough night. All my teams are out of it now. Gonzaga was the last one standing. I got to break into my dry March because my local needed me and a friend to pick a BT barrel for the store on very short notice so at least there was that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see what you're gonna pour for the 2018 Ford World Women's Curling Championship's tonight (NBCSN for those interested)! As for me, I'm having my first rodeo with the JBDC.

$helby Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 My wife and daughter stopped by a liquor store in Myrtle Beach today and picked up a bottle of Stagg Jr and a store pick ECSB. We decided to open both tonight and the consensus was SJ best with a couple of drops water. EC ok but not exciting enough to buy a backup. At any rate I’m lucky they tore themselves away from the outlets long enough to think of me! We will probably put a hurt on the stagg Jr watching the games tonight. Go Syracuse, go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
