Went out for dinner last night and noticed the restaurant had a BT pick listed on the menu.

 

2 glasses later and this followed me home.

I've tasted more than a few BT private pix, and most were at-or-above the mark set by the ordinary shelf stock (not an insignificant achievement IMHO).   I have also had (and owned 2) that surpass that standard by a noticeable margin.    THose a wonderful pours!   I actually just pulled down (from the deep-storage area) a 'handle' I bought from a pick I helped choose about 14-years ago.   Now, that barrel was absolutely stellar!   After I kill off 2-or-3-low-fill  bottles in the current rotation, That's gonna be a regular pour.   

I figured; I ain't gettin' any younger, and tomorrow still isn't guaranteed, so I better start drinkin' some of the really nice pours I have stashed.   I deserve it!  😆   ...Or maybe I don't; but, HEY!   I'm gonna drink 'em anyway!   😜 Heee-Heeeeeeeee!

With all of the praise for the Still Austin products, I bought a cask strength bourbon today from Total Wine.  Not a big fan of TW, but they have the best selection of Still Austin in Indianapolis.

Cheers

Stopped in the gift shop again and grabbed a 2004 and 2006 barrel date 15yr.  
2006 96.2 proof and 2004 84.4 proof

IMO, these Dickel 15yr SiB releases are the best value there is in ultra aged bourbon today.  I currently have open a 101.2 proof bottle that is one of the best bourbons I've ever had; just lights out delicious.  I don't know the barrel or bottle date as I lost the hang tag (or it didn't come with one), but I'd bet it's more than 15 years old.  I've been getting these for $55 at K&L.  I'm curious what they sell for at the gift shop...

I went to the closest store to replace my bottles of OF 100 and Rye 100. These were on the counter when I was checking out. They came home with me. 😉

Agreed. 

I've enjoyed several different releases & have enjoyed them all.

The 15yr is my favorite Dickel & it's not even close.

And I agree with you. I am a big fan of the 15yr. It is not totally void of the Flintstone vitamin flav but has enough so you know it is still a Dickel.

 

Not that there is anything wrong with the vitamin flav.

Yup!

When the mood strikes me, I like the vitamin flavor..it scratches an itch that no other whiskey can.
