Tulse Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 So far I've seen it at Costco ($50), a local grocery ($60) and fosmith here bought a bottle. All three are store picks, I think. From what I read so far, they all look to be store picks. I had a friend buy the Costco pick for me, but she's out of town for a bit, so there it's stashed. If anyone has had one, what's your verdict? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 It’s pretty good if you like Four Roses! We did two barrel picks at the new distillery in Shelbyville before the world went in the crapper (last fall I believe). They are both likely OBSV although they wouldn’t tell us for sure of course. Their attempts to describe the 5 yeasts and 2 mashbills “they” use are amusing. They are in my opinion both excellent if a little overpriced at around $60 given they are cut to 104 proof. At barrel proof I would like that price a lot more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleit doesn't but the store may have a sign or sticker with the information added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Here come a wave of Bulleit store picks. Diageo getting in on the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'm currently enjoying a store pick of Bulleit Single Barrel and it is excellent. I'm liking it better than any 4Roses SBBP that I've had. According to the store, it's a 10yr OBSO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they gave us the age but the barrel stencils indicate they are 10yo in the case of the picks we did. I will have to track down the barrels if I can.

Other than that, I think these are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 We are trying to get “official” confirmation of age (it’s Diageo so we will see!) but I remember being told they were 12yo and based on the barrel stencils our barrels were 12yo. The tops of the barrels are obviously sanded and restenciled but a date on the side seems consistent with that age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce, is DBH open for in-store browsing or it is it drive-thru/curbside only at this point? I may be in the area on Saturday. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only takes me about 15 minutes at most to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
