FasterHorses Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I’d have to say Id be very content with W12 and EHT BP for me. One low proof and one high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Hhhhm. OGD BIB. Ever heard of it? THEN - WT 101 KSBW. THEN - ER 10yr 90 proof unless they take away the years. For the rye - OF 100 rye or Ritt or even OO BIB. For non-100/BIB, EWB (86 proof) or 4R YL 80. Premium - 4R Single Barrel Select. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibsie Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 EHT SmB, or SiB/BP if I ever can find one of either and they end up being better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 It will depend on price and availability. If what I expect to be solid reasonably available options with increasingly aged barrels then it would be WT101, OF100, FRSiB, MM101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal00768 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I would definitely like to have Stagg Sr in the regular rotation. Otherwise having access to 10 year plus barrel picks of RR and 4R would be just dandy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if the BTAC line is part of the correction.. then GTS would always be open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 If the boom ever ends, then inexpensive aged bourbon makes a return. Therefore mine will either be WT101 or maybe even Buffalo Trace or EHT Small Batch, whichever is closest to the Old Charter 10 Year. I'd never get tired of that one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I think I will just stick to my regular Elijah Craig Small Batch. Great stand pour every time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yobber76 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Great question! EHT SiB, Stagg Jr, 4R SmB Select, Weller 12yr, EC BP would always be part of the picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 MGP's high rye mashbill. Things have turned the corner so that longer-aged versions of this superb mashbill are becoming easier to find. I love the Tumbling Dice 6-year. Lately though, my "go to" pours have been Kentucky-style ryes. My open bottle of baby Saz is going fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that the 10yr age statement has been moved to the front label. A good sign that they're not going down the Elijah Craig SB path... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz June Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'd definitely buy and drink more Weller 12. But I'm not sure BT would up how much of this they release even if the boom ended and the supply is so far below demand, it would take a real crash to bring it back close to MSRP on the open market. I'd buy more Four Roses barrel strength picks, not that I'm running out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Reserve Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 2 hours ago, Clueby said: OWA...again. Same here, I checked the state minimum price here in Michigan, it's now $49.96. I'm sure that I paid under $25 for the last bottle I bought now number of years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirstyinOhio Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 If/when the boom ends, my go to will be George T. Stagg and E.H. Taylor BP with a pour of Elijah Craig 18 tossed in every now and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrv4 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 As others have said, OWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Earlier I stated that OWA would be my go to, but following some thoughts, if the prices were like they were in the aughts, WLW and GTS at $50/bottle would ring the bell. But we all know those days getting those bourbons as those prices are long gone never to return. Even at twice the price, I'd be a buyer. End of daydream! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I’ll probably keep on doing what I’m doing now. Enjoy mid-shelters, and hope to fill in here in there with something special. Biba! Joe 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I guess it depends on what "the end of the boom" means (apologies to Bill Clinton). Normally, the end of a boom would mean a steep decline in demand, which would lower prices and drive less efficient producers out of business. I suppose it would be similar to how supply and demand were 20 years ago--many of the currently expensive and allocated whiskeys that were once reasonably priced and readily available would go back to that condition, with some from 20 years ago disappearing and some newer whiskeys taking their place. If I could get them all the time at reasonable prices, I would drink a lot more Stagg, Remus Repeal, Joseph Magnus, and Calumet 15-16 probably. I'm sure I could think of some more.

hughewil Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I can get a bottle of OWA about every week here if I wanted. My go to would still be WTRB. But I would finally get a chance to try some stagg maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) The real question is how many of us will disappear when the boom ends? Statistically, there’s a lot of “boomers” here (pun intended). Whiskey life will probably go back to what it was 10-15 years ago for me. Drink whatever I happen to be in the mood for, but more importantly, an end to the stockpiling of bottles.

I’m finally getting used to retirement, and I’ve been contemplating the who, what, when, where, how, why, and if, of just how my current situation relates to whatever level of Bourbon Zen I may be at. And here you have to go and bring up mortality. 🫣 Biba! Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
