Haha that's awesome! I'd buy it for the label My wife says the same thing unfortunately, so I appease her by buying her more specialty wine while I get a few more at the same time [emoji14] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall we say... rather less so. It was the green label short bottle 95 proof. Fairly certain it was the new stuff. Not bad but nothing spectacular. Almost had a bit of strawberry taste in there .

elmossle Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Managed to get my hands on some Loch & K(e)y releases today. 2 different barrels of OWA and a bottle of FRSB OBSV. Sometimes the old standards are just as good as the Limited Editions we are chasing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Picked up a 2018 1792 High Rye today so opened a 2016 bottle from the bunker. Pretty sweet for high rye. The rye doesn't kick in until the very end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Mail call! Mako524 hooked me up with an OBSO. Still need 2 more before opening so cracked a 1792 high rye, my first. I have not really tried the 1792 line except for a Full Proof store pick that was just too much banana for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, all of this was from the 5 days I spent in Ky during bourbon fest. I attended the Parker's breakfast release, the Mellow Moments preview event, the Let's talk Bourbon, Bourbon Bonanza (formerly known as Whiskey Pig), and the auction at the Getz museum to get most of these bottles.

JTaylor Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Wow... OFBB was $129 this year. I’m pretty sure this will be my last one... if my first Grandson hadn’t been born the first week of September this year I'd be posting this in the “What I passed on” thread... Can’t wait to try the Old Fitz, but I gotta say, $100 bottles are becoming all too common nowadays... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I’ve avoided WTKS PS for a long time, I like RRSB PS and it seems to be a better bang for your buck. However with word that WTKS is going away and this showed up thought I’d give it a shot. I wonder if they pick cherry barrels but don’t hit the proof point to make it into a RRSB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My LS has a PS barrel that is 13 yrs old and was fairly tasty from what I got from the minuscule (new guy) sample I had... but I just couldn't pull the trigger @ $94.

BottledInBond Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Bought some Dant BIB and WT101R for my first purchases recently. Haven’t drank much for BIBs lately so grabbed that on a whim. The Turkey rye is a staple for me though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshleffar Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Seems I rebroke my buying seal... Got the recent ECBP, EHTsmb and HWMDSND (yeah yeah not bourbon) that I was irritated to be held to 1 of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I bought TW's pick of Kentucky Spirit because I wanted the bottle before they disappear and haven't seen a PS.

Adam777 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I went to an event at Tippins Market in Ann Arbor and got to meet Al Young. I bought one of their 5 store picks and decided on the OESO 13 years 5 months which Al Young signed. My dad and I were in a raffle to get the 130th anniversary but fell short, however our name was picked for some other goodies. I got to try the Al Young 50th which was fantastic and the 130th. Both were awesome but that finish on the Al Young kept going and going! What a blast! Edited October 4, 2018 by Adam777 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry but I’m sucking at reviewing, but if I may give you an advice, go back to the store and buy one or two. Think about it, a 13yo rye single barrel at cask strength for less than a hundred bucks, if this was a Willett or a Smooth Ambler, you will have to pay at least twice as that. But at the end, it’s your money ;-))) Cheers! Will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will, I'm with you on the Whistle Pig picks, I try to buy them when they are priced right as they seem to land between $75 and $100 here, but regardless well aged CS Rye isn't really readily available from other sources. Regardless of anyone's beliefs on WP's business ethics, all of the bottles that were ostensibly better values at some point have gone the way of the dodo and ultimately I really like the 100% rye ADL profile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
