graftonbc1 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It could be. Actually, I was surprised there was a cork. This is also s single Barrel as opposed to a small batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are as good as it gets. Bought these and more today (ER10 and Blanton's L&K picks). Roomies from April in Bardstown "Joe" and "Jeff" will be very happy I hope! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Got the call on the OWA pick today and picked up a couple other things while there. And...a cork! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Interestingly, the quite recent barrel selected version of OWA that I just opened a couple days ago is the metal screw cap; NOT a cork! And, it's BRAND-Damned NEW! Inconsistency reigns! Maybe the private picks run through a different bottling line? I bet that's it.Something is going on with the cork/cap situation at BT. The last bottle of BT I opened that was purchased in March has a synthetic cork. Never had a BT product with a synthetic cork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never decide if I love that bottle design or hate it, leaning towards love. That Nikki is one of the best values around - glad it’s in the states now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercharger Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Grabbed a couple new ones. Guess I boarded the hype with Bardstown. I’ve heard “complex”, but it initially comes off as more “conflicting” to me. As it got some air, it seemed to level out. We’ll see how the bottle matured since being opened. Haven’t had a RY10, yet.

JSpartan Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I stumbled across a RHF today at retail. It was very unexpected but happy to have lucked into it. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I stumbled across a RHF today at retail. It was very unexpected but happy to have lucked into it. Wow! I didn’t think the regular retail price was still that low in any area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I guess the name PRICE DROP was already taken. At least I was able to secure it for MSRP, these suckers were sure flying fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I think it was $45 when it dropped here earlier this year. I’ve never seen it at that price around here. Even when you could find it fairly regularly on the shelves four or five years ago, it was between $55 and $60. The last few years it’s been between $70 and $80 at stores that don’t mark it up much if they mark it up at all. Broken case and premium charges by the distributors have probably pushed the price up more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I'm venturing around more and more, I'm finding more MMPS in the wild. I've really grown to love them. So far, this is my favorite.

Uncle Dave Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I've been looking for a MMPS or MMCS. They did finally have the MMPS locally a couple weeks ago. Of course at a time when I didn't have $80 handy. Hopefully it's still there. Until then, there's a MM and a BT in the cabinet whispering sweet nothings to me.
