Skinsfan1311 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I snagged a couple bottles of Johnny Drum. I was pleasantly surprised by the first bottle, that I bought a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodytek Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hmm, so that bottled in bond is 100% pot still from DSP KY-52?Yes, that was the message stated by the representative of WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodytek Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 What did each set you back, if I might ask? I'm pretty curious about the BIB.Fifty bucks each, limited quantity. My understanding is this is the first bib. Keep in mind these are 350ml, so it is pricey. I haven’t cracked it open yet, so I can’t tell you if it’s really worth it or not.

Love to hear your thoughts on this one. Haven't seen the A119 near me yet. Dipped into my bottle C918 this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbrink Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 I know Dickel is not everyone's bag but I'm a fan glad to find a couple of these. I will say "America's Premier Artisan Merchant Bottler" is a bold claim, I'd probably consider Barrell or High West to be the current holders of that crown particularly because they aren't known for mostly just bottling MGP. Before that it would probably be tough to make that claim if you weren't Willett. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that it would probably be tough to make that claim if you weren't Willett. It is a highly questionable claim, but let’s not pretend that High West isn’t also in the MGP business. They bottle plenty of MGP. And they’re essentially out of the old Barton juice that they made some of their “artisan merchant bottler” reputation with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try one if it's $70 or less, but I fear they are closer too $100. The 13 year single barrel of Old Scout MGP I got in December from the gift shop was $125, so the prices on stuff is getting really ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe retail is $65, I bought them in NYC so they were priced a bit higher at $75, they should be showing up in NJ as well, I'll probably pick one up if I see a different barrel.

Wow, $65 is not bad for a 13 year single barrel at nearly cask strength. Maybe I will pick up one or two of them if I see them available at that price. Thanks for the info! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He responded, does it say Pappy anywhere on the label? So there you have it right from the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertckim Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Purchased as a lot, Blanton's, Lock Stock & Barrel 16 Y.O., Lagavulin Distiller's Edition and Highland Park 15, for a grand total of $325. Don't care for the Highland Park, but maybe that's a re-gift (shhhh... don't tell anyone). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I haven't purchased anything. Yet. I will be attending a charity tasting/raffle this evening along with a few "others". Hopefully the weather doesn't get to crappy this evening. Lady luck was with me at this event last year. I'll try and post something later on this evening regardless of whether or not she's good to me again this year. Biba! Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
