While it is slightly better than the normal Wild Turkey 1O1, it’s not that much better to justify the price. AMEN!!! I have a couple bottles of that OF BiB and the jury is still out on whether it's worth it, or not. I like it...but not sure if I $60.00 like it. For the $$$, I prefer Bulleit BiB.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 The store up the street is very hit-and-miss on their barrel selections, with me. Regardless, I try at least one bottle of most of what they do. This Full Proof 1792 came in a little bit ago, so picked it up, then. Last drops tonight. It is well above average. Maybe, more…. I don’t like the price, but may spring for another on tomorrow’s latest edition of the weekly repeating event of the end of the work week…”It’s Friday, so Joey deserves a treat today!” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp55 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago More empties for the bin. Coincidentally, all of these are 100-proof bourbons. That is a proof that I really like (obviously!). The Barrell Foundation Double Barrel is a new addition to the regular Foundation offering (that is not really all that old, itself). Despite the name, I didn't find it particularly oaky. It was actually very similar to the original Foundation (which I like a lot), perhaps just a tad richer and fuller. Interestingly, the price of these two is the same ($50) - very reasonable nowadays for this quality. The Four Roses OESO is one of the new 100-proof single barrel offerings from that distillery. I have had this one and the OESK so far. Between those two, I think I slightly prefer this one, as the fruitiness is quite intense (which I like in FR bourbons). I think this is a definite rebuy at the $50 price. Old Grand-Dad Bonded is one of those great "legacy" bourbons that gets little attention from the mainstream. But, for those of us who have been familiar with it for a long time, it remains one of the best values in our cabinets. Such a quality product at such an attractive price ($25)! Finally, The Knob Creek Small Batch 12 yr. is a great example of a "classic" aged bourbon. The flavors are all those that you expect from a traditional bourbon. Terrific, in other words. The 9 yr. is a really fine product in its own right, and the 12 yr. turns that product up a notch. I will say that the oak is quite noticeable, although not at all overdone to my tastes. The price of this one ($65) seems to be creeping up a bit from the past, but I still can't say that it is overpriced if you are fond of this style. Interesting to consider four bourbons of the same proof providing such different drinking experiences. But, all very good -- what a great hobby! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
