Haven’t had a chance to crack one open yet. A SBS of 12 v 13 v 14 sounds like a great idea! I really liked the 12, and thought the 13 was solid but not quite as good as 12. Have read some reviews that 14 is more along the lines of 12...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCWoody Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) On my way to TN a few days ago I had to stop at Lincoln Road Package Store and pick up a few goodies. Of course I had open them up to try. They live up to LRP standards. Very good. Edited November 27, 2020 by LCWoody 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of oak and a unique kind of musty finish. Not off putting or anything like that, but had the mustyness and tannins I think one would expect from a older bottling or if you can bottle up the rickhouse. Very distinctive and as a result seems to be a pour I would go to when I have a hankering for that specific flavor profile. How did you think this one stands up in comparison with the regular WT line and did you find the overall experience very distinctive and unique when comparing to other recent releases? I haven't run across the new ultra-aged one, but I think Turkey today is better than Turkey used to be. I do associate a certain mustiness with Turkeys of decades past, and it's been replaced by a lush creaminess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also picked up some bourbon goodies. Mike grabbed three handles of Weller SR for me this past weekend, and I took possession of them today. He also gifted me a PS OFSB. The handles of Weller SR Mike picked up for me cost $38.99 each. Every once in a while. Thanks Mike. Biba! Joe I suspect that Mike fully expects to enjoy some pours back and forth when the Covid crisis is over. PS OFSB as a gift! Nice!

Jfletchgu Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) First time I waited in line for a store doing a allocated Black Friday release (waited 2.5 hours). Being that I was number 56 in line all the crazy stuff was already gone, but a Stagg Jr batch 14 for retail was my parting gift. I had just had a sample the night before and thoroughly enjoyed it so I was happy with that. Apparently to get Pappy or BTAC anything it required camping out over night in line (no thank you).

If something surprising is said. The response might be - neta? Or asking some one what happened or is going on. I want la neta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I picked up Benchmark Full Proof today, my first time for this. The bonded version tasted quite similar to standard BT to me (not a big surprise). We'll see about the Full Proof later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t even notice those were in the frame. I bought a truckload of music/bass gear from Sweetwater during BF and they pack a small bag of candy with each shipment. I was just unloading the boxes, there is a mountain of them you don’t see there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyjd75 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 So my next door neighbor asked if I would bourbon shop for her for Christmas bottles for her husband (I did the same last year for her). I agreed, of course, and today picked up the following: 16 year old Knob Creek private selection from Packages and More (from my stash as a gift); Little Book 4; and Four roses SmB LE 2020. Hopefully these will do. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they had an option to trade their candies in on a Snickers bar or something. I always thought Bit O Honey and Tootsie Rolls must have been invented by dentists looking for business...
