flahute Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 5 hours ago, TehRegion219 said: And straight means at least 2 year old bourbon. It's more nuanced than that. Straight without an age statement is minimum 4 years old. Straight between 2 and 4 years requires an age statement. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the Straight Bourbon (They also do a Small Batch and Uncut/Unfiltered versions) at 92 Proof. It was not a bad buy at $35. Pretty simple but solid. Sweeter profile. Definitely don't regret the buy. Glad to hear it is a solid pour. At least it isn't an unreasonable price. I may pick one up next time I'm out there or if I find one around here.

I recently started buying the Ancient Ancient Age 10 Star. I was thinking, Straight NAS, at least 4 years old. So Double Ancient is at least a year older than Ancient Age. WRONG. I looked all over the bottle after seeing posts that said it was also 36 months, and the last look, just as I was sitting the bottle down, in small print with the same font as the "Return for Deposit" info, Aged 36 months. Oh, you sneaky BT Bastards. How can something be "Ancient Ancient" when it's the exact same age as the "Ancient"? That being said, the extra proof over the standard issue makes a world of difference. I still buy the Ancient Ancient 10 Star as one of my everyday pours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 S.E. Fl. is so lacking. I find it a personal win, to pick up a bottle of Buffalo Trace, for @24.99, today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I was a little late today doing the grocery shopping. Sam’s Club Liquor is rarely open when I’m around. Since there has been quite a bit of discussion on the new Makers Mark Limited Release so I thought I would see if they had some. They did and some Dickel 15 that I’ve wanted to try. While standing a checkout chatting with the clerk , I asked her if they ever received anything unusual. She said sometimes. Then she reached under the counter and asked if I wanted some Heaven Hill Select? Hell yes!!! I haven’t walked into this in over a decade. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx... They also had a KC Sib pick, but I was afraid that the 12s would be my last shot for awhile so I grabbed both. I was excited for the OF SP and wanted a couple of those, alas the wallet wavered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always assumed if it's bourbon it's 4 year plus. Babe in the wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehRegion219 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 A couple more AA 750’s and a liter of HH Quality House. Loving me some “at least 36 month old” whiskey . I get very little ethanol burn but tons of sweet woody flavors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFingers Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Was out picking up some take out and happened to walk into the liquor store a few doors down while I waited. Passed the AA and thought I should give it another try. For $10.99, I thought it couldn't hurt - right. Might have tor this as a freezer bourbon.

One of our locals recently had an OFSB store pick but I haven't been in to check on availability and price. I seem to recall OF store picks at 95 proof. @fishnbowljoe what is the proof of the OF store picks you have been getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breadth of bourbons available across multiple price points makes something available for everyone on every occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now, its a good thing she pulled out a bottle of whiskey! Just curious, what did the HHSS run? I imagine a pretty penny but still worth it.
