Vosgar Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I realize the old HH6BiB was an incredible value in its time, but to age the whiskey one additional year and get 3x as much $$ for it seems a bit excessive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since HMcK10 can be had for cheaper. I figured I’d try it just to see if there’s anything special. Some bottle surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a recent purchase of Early Times, and now a family sized Larceny, I have saved the final two distilleries from mayhem. I went big on the Larceny because the recent brush fire at Deatsville was a little too close for comfort and Max Shapira tore me a new one for lallygagging around on them...Said, if I didn’t get my lazy ass moving and pick up an HH bottle pronto, the closest thing GBS would get to a private pick in the future would be a half pint of HPNOTIQ... Yes sir!! Going now, SIR!!!!! Whew! I'll be doing both an EC and a Larceny pick in about 4 weeks so your sacrifice has set us up for success!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store clerks told me that the boss man keeps the hard to find stuff in his office and doles it out to a waiting list. It's a bummer. Summer seems to have deserted us here on the Middle Coast. I've actually started to take out the Flannel shirts and checked the thermals. I turned on the furnace for the first time yesterday and it's still on this morning. In order to have the right attitude for what is expected to be a "Polar Coaster" winter, the big boy whiskeys are going to be served more often. So before I left the LS, I paid for a bottle of OGD114. Better to have it and not need it than to want it and not have it. As the quote in my old signature used to say - everything goes a little better with OGD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least my Weller shelf is filled back up, shouldn’t need to buy another one for a while... 1.75 in the back was $52... In Ontario, Antique 107 is now priced 64 CAD . Used to be 36. More expensive than the allocated W12 which is at 59cad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popped it tonight since I figured some would like to know. If I had to compare it to another HH product, I would say it’s closest to ECBP without the octane. Not quite as special, but definitely has something to it that differentiates from HMcK10. Lots of caramel that I notice in it, which sometimes turns me off if too sweet. This one holds that but is perceived as smooth as opposed to saccharin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymoall Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I’m sure there’s a way to make sure your EC small batch is 10 years old (didn’t have the presence of mind to ask), but enjoyed my first pour of this store select. Initial intent was to have some to blend with the EC A119 I have and tone that bad boy down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all that is spoken here about the action that will inevitably occur and which you predict at the end of your post, why would you post that info on an open forum like this?

I would have liked to see the 7 year priced at about $30, but the new price is not necessarily out of line with the current market. W107 took a 2.5x price jump with no change to the product, well except the addition of a cork. McKenna is on the $40-45 range with no changes. Four Roses Barrel Strength jumped about $15 per bottle and though I have yet to see it, I am being told KCSiB will be going up by $15 as well. Unfortunately, $40 is competitive vs other 7 year products that are available (W107, Bakers, OEBP . . . ) I am not counting the discontinued OE7 or VB7 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that's bad Limbaugh just gave a shout out for KC bourbon on his radio program. Seems that ABC news was caught red handed purporting to show video from a massacre in Syria when it was actually from the KC gun range in Kentucky.

CardsandBourbon Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Not a big fan of finished bourbons but I had a pour of the Parker's Heritage Collection 12th Edition that was finished in Orange Curacao Barrels. I enjoyed it but hadn't seen any bottles on the shelf. While doing the Woodford Barrel Pick this morning I noticed some on the shelf behind the counter. What can I say, I'm weak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
