PaulO Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I saw Heaven Hill 7 year bottled in bond at the grocery store. They had multiple cases. With a six bottle 15% off discount, the price is $50 and change. No can do. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's decent enough, but not a favorite and nowhere near worth $50....at least not in my opinion. I have a bottle that I received as a gift last spring and it has hardly been touched in 10-ish months. Might be time to turn that bottle into my cocktail bottle next time I have guests over for poker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDN98 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I passed on Larceny BP C923 yesterday. $69 and I had already spend more than I should have on bourbon the previous week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id probably be more willing to pay up for that than this 7yr version. The 6 was gold. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 One store I rarely go to, definitely Taterville, was receiving their BTAC shipment while I was there. No Saz 18 but 4 out of 5 isn’t bad. The owner offered it for $1000. I said sure, if you mean all 4, he replied no, each. I wished him well and left. I’m certain they will be gone soon, but I will never know. No sense in going back there. i talked to the driver outside, he said several stores were getting their shipment today. I decided to just call it a day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the local blue warehouse store has it for $31.48 so the tater in me won out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I'm pretty much passing on everything, as I'm trying to thin the herd by concentrating on open bottles.* Mrs. Skinsfan & I stopped in one of our favorite LS to buy a bottle for my brother-in-law. KC18 $199.99** BT $49.99 JDSBBP Rye $89.99 Booker's $109.00 *I still ended up buying a bottle of Cooper's Craft 100. In my defense I...ahh,,,.......whom I kidding? I have no defense. ** I almost pulled the trigger on this one. Almost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $109 it's only over the state miinimum by $10, in other words a real bargain in the high end bourbon world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's, somewhat, readily available around here for an average price of $129.99 I quit buying when the cost went North of stupid. JDSBBP is probably the biggest bargain out there and I consider it a high end whiskey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, was I wrong. It's good but not 200 bucks good. I enjoy the 12 more than the 18. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the maple flavored crap, I love all iterations of KC that I've tasted and the 12 year is a staple on our bar. The same thing happened to me, with the 12 & 15 year. The 15 year is good, but not $130.00 good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a sbs with Baker's 13 and liked the KC slightly more..and I think the Baker's is fantastic. I don't currently have a KC12 but a sbs is in my future. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz June Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I have liked the 15 better than the 18 in a SBS and anecdotally but I tend to find Knob Creek on the more tannic/drier side. I was drinking a 9 year pick last night and thinking it was in a really good spot as far as age/how much oak it had picked up. I have wanted to do a SBS of the 9yr SmB, 12, 15, and 18. If I had to guess, I bet the 12 would be the favorite blind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess, I bet the 12 would be the favorite blind. I have had store picks close to and slightly over 15 years, they were 120 proof so they wouldn't be a fair comparison to the 15 year 100 proof version. I have had several bottles of KC12 and they are quite good. However, I find KC9 to be an awesome whiskey for the price. I even enjoyed it as a NAS version but I believe KC9 is more consistent. It is interesting to read about it being a little more on the drier side. I can see that. I really enjoy the dark fruit Smith Brothers cough drop, vanilla and light oak profile of KC9. I get the same profile at 12 years. However, older than 12 years old and I started picking up more of the drier toothpick oak profile. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) The WT distributor here in PR has Shenks at $110 and BB at $120. I like them, but not quite that much. The M10 rye at $160 on the other hand..... Also passed on Larceny C923 at $70. Mainly because I've spent a bit much and figured I'd slow it down. That, and I have plenty of the C922 and B523 and am plenty happy with both of them. Edited January 24 by Anwalt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurgalunas Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I've noticed the HH7 and HMcK10 have gone from allocated to 'on the shelf' around here. Not a fan of the HH7, but have always enjoyed McKenna. Since the shelf price is up to $60 now, I'll just keep drinking from the bunker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenna10 was pretty good back in the $30.00 screw-top days. It never has been, or will be, worth much more. There's a lot great whiskey in the $60.00 range. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
