mbroo5880i Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited January 23, 2022 by mbroo5880i 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjbarth Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 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 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
