alstevens Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Old Fitz is my favorite. Under 20 bucks and still can find it hear in the suburbs of Chicago. Old Grandad locally is $23. When I head across the border to WI it’s about $20. If OGD BIB didn’t make the finest whiskey sour I’d switch to Old Fitz. I have a few bottles of Heaven Hill BIB from my Kentucky trip. That’s probably my favorite but its not on any bottom shelves locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfish Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 HH6YO is getting a lot of love. I picked up 2 more when passing through Lexington and asked why no handles. The clerk at Liquor Barn said none in KY but available on the east coast. We'll be heading down the coast on our next trip from Philadelphia to Savannah. Any of you have suggestions about availability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was DSP 31 distilled and I don't think was resumed anywhere after "the fire". No hard facts or insider info; just my observations. It tasted very similar to the HH 4 year old bond of that era - plenty of eucalyptus. You mean the $8.99 bottle I've got stashed away from 2010 is now a dusty?

I'd forgotten I even had this bottle. Oh well Edited July 14, 2018 by Vosgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Who knows, maybe still a dusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is, but - when we had it in Seattle a couple years ago I asked Bernie Lubbers about this (last summer) and he told me that they will occasionally release a pallet of it to markets where it's not normally available. Don't know if that's the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you telling me LS clerks are not always the best source of info? Still, I do wonder why I have never seen it in handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 OGD BIB. I know it’s not a BIB and it’s not made anymore but from all the HH BIBs I’ve had Dant, EW, HH 6yr, my favorite has been FC 6yr 101. Someone else posted WT101, so why not Fighting Cock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanner Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Least expensive BIB in my area is EWBIB. Luckily, it's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
