What bourbon did you purchase this spring season of 2025?

I’m sticking with my mantra of only shopping after a medical appointment.  This is to placate my wife’s concern about the size of my bunker.  My boys are not concerned and normally help themselves when home.  It might take a large Uhaul when I’m gone though so, I understand  the concern, I just don’t share it.

Back on  topic, 2024 4RSBLE.

 

I like your strategy.

Passed through the area and stopped at Dickel today.   Picked up a 15yr that is 20ish yr at $75 before tax and wondered what is in the $525 18yr?

The 15 year is my favorite Dickel...

And I notice that 18 Year bottle is also only 700 mL.  Seeing more and more of this in new special releases unfortunately.  I tolerate it with scotch (so many of those have already converted to 700 mL) because the scotch country of origin standard bottle size is 700, but I'm less forgiving of American whiskey companies.  It's purely a shrinkflation situation as I predicted.

As is Woodford with some of there special releases.  

 

I think this might be the future of all btls (700ml). I hope not. Business wise it makes sense but as a customer, I DONT LIKE IT.  I think we will get less juice and pay the same or more for it.

I've seen that posted among several SBrs. I'm a Dickel fan but never went for the 15yr. The initial BiB to me was a bit too oakey so I try to stay under that threshold. The latest 12yr BiB I think is fantastic, such an underrated pour that sits on shelves while the taters clamor to overpay for whatever FB/Insta tells them they need.

I find many have a dislike for Dickel. Some referring to it as the Dickel funk. I have the 15 year and found it to be enjoyable.
