This is always an interesting topic.  I didn't purchase any new high profile LEs this year.  I have some in the bunker.  Some of which I poured throughout the year.  My best pour of the year would easily be WLW 2013.  I could list the standard bottles that I pour like OF100 or WT101 which would be appropriate since they were my top two purchased bourbons.  However, I will list new things I tried that I liked.  Some are old standbys but as single barrels or specific batches they differ from previous versions.  With the exception of number 4 and 5 on the list, I bought multiple bottles.  They are too new to determine whether I will buy more bottles.

 

1.  Four Roses Small Batch Select

2.  Four Roses Single Barrel

3.  Woodinville

4.  J. Reiger Private Stock Store Selection Cask Strength (technically not a straight bourbon)

5.  Burning Chair Store Selection Cask Strength

 

Honorable Mention since I bought multiple bottles over the year

* Rossville Union Single Barrel Rye Store Select Savory

* OF100, WT101, OF Statesman, KC9, KC12, MM101

1. MM101 - this was a revelation for me. Not a big fan of the standard MM but MM101 is light years better. Had to nurse my 1 bottle for most of the year as I just couldn’t find it at a reasonable price until late in the year. I then bought 5 in Nov and Dec.

2. RR13 - got lucky that it was being put out in distillery just as we arrived for a tasting in Aug. My mistake, I didn’t buy 3.

3. RRSiB - I just like this. Have a few ‘off the shelf’ and a few barrel picks. They’re all a little different but all really good.

4. FRSiB - again, I just like this and better than the more expensive FRSmBS. I try to always have a backup on hand.

5. WT101 - my go to for cocktails and good neat. Always have a handle or 2 on hand.

Honorable mention:

FRYL

Jeffersons Ocean Voyage 25
