kevinbrink Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 This just showed up here in the Garden State, I'm trying to think of a better one, but as I'm sipping this it sure seems like the best "craft" bourbon I have yet to have, certainly the best in terms of quality to price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Enjoying the last big pour from a CEHT BIB. Just a solid, no nonsense kinda bourbon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A local is getting a barrel in december. About$45 i think. What would u compare it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $45 here as well, the BIB was $35 but it was already sold out at the store I went to. In terms of comparisons it definitely feels higher rye which I think it is? I would say maybe like what a younger OBSQ Four Roses might taste like. I was a little reluctant to pick this up after the last few 4 year old Craft bourbons I picked up but this one is good and it will be really interesting to see what this one is like in a couple years it could be quite stunning.

FasterHorses Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 High accolades. I think I read where Minnick had said way back that they would be one to compete with the big boys some day. Unfortunately im not big on 4R. Maybe theyll let me sample it when they get it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 For some silly reason, I thought I'd give my WT Longbranch another try. It's still underwhelming, kind of like drinking light beer. Moved on to RR10yr and life is good again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FasterHorses Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 ECBP then finished off EWBIB. Almost went back to EC but decided to have a pour of EHTBP 18. Now just need to win powerball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The wife and I decided to go out for a nice dinner since I'll be gone for 3 weeks (to the Twin Cities) starting Monday. I had my first taste of this year's Parker's Heritage. I wouldn't buy a bottle, but this is an enjoyable and unique pour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd probably pony up for one if I found it at retail..which I think is $80-$90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if you’ve researched whiskey options but I’ll throw out some unsolicited ideas. If you’re downtown Minneapolis try The Butcher and the Boar. They tend to have good whiskey and do a decent amount of barrel picks. Downtown you can also try Brit’s Pub, which has some LE stuff fairly often and when they do prices are generally reasonable. Another spot just south of downtown is Eat Street Social. If you happen to be in St. Paul, the St. Paul Grill at the St. Paul Hotel is the best whiskey selection over there. Have fun and let me know if you want store recommendations as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foppa78 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I had a very tasty pour of Rare Breed. I found this bottle on sale for $41 which seems to be a good deal since all the stores around here have marked it up to $47-$49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzhead Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Enjoying batch # 2 of Southern Tier Distillery's straight rye. This is where craft distilleries shine - there are some totally satisfying craft ryes around. This one, I'd surmise, has a high percentage of malted rye, with the cereal notes blending with the pumpernickel. For a straight rye oriented more toward the latter, try Tom's Foolery's straight rye. As a flight, these two help justify why I keep voting with my dollars for craft rather than the bourbon behemoths. Yes, I've made mistakes, but that just makes the winners all the more satisfying.

It's gonna be a World Series to remember - first time these teams have faced each other since 1916! Bourbon and baseball - perfect together!
