This was my first bottle of PKXO. I've heard the criticisms of those early batches but have never tried them. I've tried everything from batch #7 on and they've all been great and, at MSRP, a great value as well. Just wish it were on the shelf more often. Comes and goes in a flash here in the Bay Area. Yeah we seem to be blessed by fairly regular access to Stagg Jr., I would recommend if you ever see a pre 2014ish batch of PKXO that you should give it a go.

JakeySnakes Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Really enjoyed this. Finding another bottle has proven difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guss West Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Bid farewell to my bottle OWA PS from this spring (think there are a couple more from this barrel left down there somewhere). The Old Ezra BP followed up next. This is one I might replace as I do love all the different variations of (what I believe is?) HH juice. Haven't seen it up heya, so will have to go fishing for it in the Nutmeg State. Who's got two thumbs and expensed trips to Princeton scheduled? THIS GUY!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwperry Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Good thing I have like, 5 backups to this store pick. Gaspar's WTKS '17 is my favorite whiskey, hands down. It's straight Kentucky nectar. But today being national rum day, I'll be on Doorly's shortly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But near the top of my fave list is a WTKS PS, that I picked up while in Kentucky. It also was bottled in 2017. (Shhh, we don't want to start a Tater feeding frenzy for '17 WTKS ) Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Did anyone else ever have a bottle you thought you had recently bought and went to renew your acquaintance only to find you had been more familiar with it than you expected? Well I did that yesterday with a bottle of 4RSmB that I expected to have dust on its shoulders. After determining that I needed better inventory management skills, I poured the remainder out into my glass and decided I needed to revisit the LS, if only to prove my optimism, or suspicion, that they'll make more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'm a big fan of Tyrone F and CNF (ok, all the warehouses are good to fantastic). I sure do hope these PS RR SiB will stay at the current age and price for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Finished off a 1.75 liter Eagle Rare last night. Really like this. Nice cherry and oak on the nose. Tastes like a toned down Stagg Jr. Picked up a replacement today... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 One bottle, although good, has been open around a year, the other about 3 weeks. Which one do you think I enjoyed the most? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 After a 4RSmB hit the recycling bin on Tuesday, a KCSP and a MM have been added. I'm clearing out shelf space just in case I have some luck in hunting down a few unicorns in the next couple of months. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Another OWA hit the empty pile tonight. Same here. I hope yours was better than my last one. This was basically a hot mess. None of that cherry coke I normally get. This was my most recent bottle from last December. Hope it’s not a sign of the the new OWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a SBS with a 2013 bottle recently and the new one was definitely hotter but still had that same profile. The nose on the newer bottles was better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of a number of bourbons that could certainly be described by that very apt phrase. Mind if I steal that expression? Sorry to hear that your Weller turned out that way, but it looks like a delicious Eagle Rare was right behind to save the day!
