BottledInBond Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Haven’t bought much lately but picked up an Old Forester store pick. I had tasted a sample from the selection at barrel proof but was pleasantly surprised with how well it held up when proofed down for bottling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako254 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Word on the Lawrenceburg streets is that this is the last week the current (iconic IMO) Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit bottle will be used. Signed by Eddie at $49, this one is headed to the bunker. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfly86 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Picked up a Belle Meade Cask Strength today. Interested to try it out. I really enjoyed SAOS, as many here have. Maybe this could be a good substitute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about gifting him a B517 out of my stash and include something about Whiskey Advocate's ranking in the packaging. He's a JD drinker but gushed over a 4RSM bottle I got him last Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako254 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Not a ‘Weller Man’ in the tradition of some on here but 3 750 WSRs for $16.99/each is a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderKeg Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 The name's Bond, B.I. Bond - I'm thinking a Bond marathon (in more ways than one) may be called for upon my return from the Holy Lands of KY. I know there's more - got some of them already (and HH6yr is nowhere to be found), but these are some I can't get in LR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 The three on the right are some of my old time favorites - always somewhere in the regular rotation. I have not tried the others. I have had the JB Bond, not sure how similar is the Old Tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSkyDrams Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Baby Saz and a regular KC... I actually went with the intention to get a Bakers, but the price compared to the KC just couldn’t justify it for me . . . although I’ve never had Bakers, so I guess I don’t really know.

I believe they are switching the the generic looking Russels reserve style bottle. Too bad as that KS bottle is beautiful, maybe it will resurface for perioic LE releases.

I've never thought Baker's was worth the price. KC SiB Reserve is cheaper and a better pour - 9 yrs vs. 7 and 120 p vs 107. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako254 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Final haul from this run to Macon, Ga. Passed on a 12 yr Knob Creek due to the fact Mrs Mako would have gone upside my head if I bought another bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even regular KC, although it lost its age statement, must still be around the same age as Bakers... and 7 proof points didn’t seem like a good enough reason for me to drop another $23.
