The distillery isn't that far from me but it is just far enough off the highway that I usually keep going. I should stop since the traffic on 95 is so terrible. A distillery visit would help alot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. We are putting a hurting on the one that's open , so Mrs. Skinsfan twisted my arm and told me to snag more. Who am I to argue? I'm trying to cull the collection, and haven't bought much whiskey lately. I made an exception for the Bowman because it's very good and reasonably priced. That, and I haven't seen it in ages. I also snagged a slick decanter, glass & a jigger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anwalt Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Got 2 more JMCB from a friend in SC, Batch 97. Daughter in PA picked up a few KC12s at $60 each, figured we'd not see those prices again. SC friend happened to be in Ft. Lauderdale. I happened to be there to see a RHCP concert with my daughter. She dutifully muled some bottles from Pittsburgh. Eight more bottles thusly found their way to La Isla del Encanto. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a few bottles of EC12 around $60 but I have been waiting for sale. i agree about pricing. In my area prices dropped a little since the beginning of the year but they seem to have started increasing again. How where the Chili's? I have always liked them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of most finished whiskeys, and the small batch is too thin for mine, and the Missus, palates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent show, except they did not play Under the Bridge. Flea is a Beast. Reminds me some of "Animal! Animal!" from the Muppet Show. Insane energy, must be something about the water in Australia and guitarists. It's always been a band my daughter and I could connect over. They became big when I was still in college and stayed that way through her own high school years. Is this weekend The Weekend in Indy for supermarket discounts? Nada as of yesterday. I do see pricing inching up everywhere on most everything bourbon. Exception: In some places OF 1910 is going up and OF 1920 is going down, I've seen the former at $60 and the latter at $50 in some areas. KC12 consistently $70 to $80 when you even can find it which is why I grabbed the PA bottles. A note on cost savings well, or at least I thought so: Boondocks American Whisky is 11y and as the blender put it "is candy in a bottle" (I agree). As far as I can tell, the only reason it's not bourbon is that it's aged in used bourbon barrels instead of new ones. I think it a great deal at $45 and the barrel cost made it possible to keep the price low. Granted, all sorts of things affect our perception. I am no doubt biased by the experience I had with the guy whose picture is on the bottle. I cannot wait to get a bottle to PR, I'm betting it'll be another whiskey the wifey drinks. So far it's JMCB with some ice or ER (no ice needed) for her. I hear supply chain + massive demand for barrels is going to impact average age of oak in barrels, especially for producers with less leverage. I wonder what effect younger oak will have on flavor. And if we'll even know who is using it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sales this weekend that I am aware of. I believe Boondocks also cannot be labeled as a bourbon since it is distilled to greater than 160 proof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
