I had not seen 1.75's of Baby Saz.. The large baby saz is a white whale in my part of the Mid-West. Such rye goodness and 2+ bottles worth at that. Very reasonable MSRP in my opinion, but even the 750 is really tough to find. Hopefully the increase production will lead to some of these value pours actually being attainable down the line.

apt43bear Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Elijah Craig Barrel Proof has been getting harder and harder to find the A121 at or near MSRP. Last couple months, I wasn’t finding it for less than $100. Saw a bottle for $69 finally and was enough to finally pull the trigger - glad I was patient with this. Had been nursing my B520 in the meantime hoping it’ll last long enough until I was able to get a A121. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I'm not a big Bulleit guy. I think the last bottle I bought was the 10 year around five years ago in Fort Davis, TX. Yesterday I hiked across Manhattan and picked up a couple of bottles of the Blenders Select. Sipped it while making dinner. I haven't had the 4 Roses Small Batch in a while but IIRC, this is better. Classic vanilla and brown sugar nose. Fruity and easy drinking. A little heat at the end and a medium finish. I'd probably buy a couple more bottles if I could find it for under 50 but the store nearest me has it marked up to 70 bucks. That's too high. Made a nice Manhattan for my wife. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Fan Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Made some purchases to help restock the bunker while visiting the NHSLS. Not all bourbon but a few essentials. No Weller, ETL, or even Eagle Rare. Bummed that 4R Single Barrel is now touching the $50 price point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayouredd Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Kind of excited to pick this one up, yesterday. This one at 111pf and 4yrs + 1 month is a little older than any reviewed that I've seen and those reviews were stellar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Johnny Carson using that term on the old Tonight Show. Not enough people knew what it meant. He didn't get censored. Even as a child, by the context, I knew it was naughty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a close out at the New Hampshire liquor store, $20 a bottle down from $40, aged in bourbon barrels. i am a long time Bushmill’s drinker and could not turn 6 bottles for $120. With Red Breast and Green Spot Irish north of $60, i will suffer through these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
