I try to keep at least 1 of each on hand. Expect/hope series a fixture for long while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anwalt Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 More Ohio madness. A family member (I gave them all a list) spotted two Joseph Magnus Cigar Blends in the wild at MSRP of $188 each. That the "regular" JM was a gateway bourbon for me plus the comments on this site got me to add it to the list. It's the spendiest bottle of anything I've ever bought. Though it beats secondary market prices by a good bit. At some point I'm going to have to drink all of this. At 4 oz a day, 3 days a week....it's gonna take a while. Thank goodness for "helpful" friends on an island where the bourbon selection is rather limited. I really look forward to trying this one. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a splendid whiskey with a lot of depth. Which batch number? If you're a bit lucky and patient, a certain "WhiskeyBlender" lady on this site might even chime in at some point to provide a little bit of background about what went into the process of creating the liquid contained in your bottles.

I will inquire as to its provenance and post in the hope that the nice (anyone who makes something as good as the JMCB is reputed to be qualifies as "nice" in my book) WhiskeyBlender lady has a story - that simply has to add some bonus texture to an already Good Thing. The discussion here that she chimed in on was the one that persuaded me to add it to my search list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Well, more Ohio Luck of the Irish. A non-bourbon-drinking family member won the right to purchase a bottle of Heaven Hill 17 year for $275. It will be in the store May 5. That'll make it the spendiest bottle ever, surpassing the JMCB. I imagine I'll wait until a special occasion to open it, preferably one that involves others who would properly enjoy it. The bourbon household gods have smiled on me as of late, especially in their Midwestern environs. And I am grateful.

Normal price is too steep for me given the quality of OF100 and 1920. I think I would also take the dive for that price. Probably more due to FOMO than I care to admit. It might be spectacular. However, I have never had it due to the price and availability of OF100. I am curious how it compares to OF100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been rather excessive. A number of travelling friends offered to feed the vice. They have been well & truly responsive and generous. Still, I ramped it down a touch to "only a wee bottle or two". Per person. One is headed to DC, hence the virtual search there. Several in Louisville, one in central Kentucky. One in Detroit. Another in NYC. And I'll be headed to Nashville shortly. Having fun with the search. But I mean to ramp it down for a small spell after the Midwestern Lunacy. No, really! On the bright side, I gave a rum & (sweet highland, not so much Islay) scotch-drinking friend here in PR some of the AE rye. Instant convert, that Latin sweet tooth went right at it. Spreading the vice/love. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find much a difference myself, although I can't remember ever doing a side by side comparison. I can't figure out the price disparity honestly, except the 1897 comes in a nicer bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirstyinOhio Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I picked up these 3 bottles during an event at Heaven Hill that was put on by the Bourbon Capital Guild. I'm not sure that the Bartenders Handshake stuff is going to be to my liking as these premixed cocktails tend to be a bit too sweet. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camduncan Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Willett Rye 4yo. It's hard to come by here in Australia,... It's mostly stocked by independent stores, so I grab one whenever I happen to stumble across a bottle.. Not the best Rye I've had, but far from the worst. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently the company doesn't produce their own whiskey distillate and doesn't disclose who they source it from. It is believed the new mashbill they use originates from Buffalo Trace and is their #1 mashbill. it retails for about $35 around here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
