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! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWIndy Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) 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. Edited May 31 by ebo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the mood strikes me, I like the vitamin flavor..it scratches an itch that no other whiskey can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDN98 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Stopped by my neighborhood store just to see if they had anything new in and it turns out they did. I’ve become a big fan of the New Riff 8-year-old and I’ve been looking for the Old Fitz 7-year-old. He had an Eagle Rare for me behind the counter, which I couldn’t pass up at MSRP, despite having a couple of backups. The Eagle Rare will make a good gift for an employee‘s birthday that’s coming up next week. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have came across it more the last six months that I have in the previous six years. It’s one of those “allocated” bourbons that I think we’re gonna see more and more of as their stock starts to reach maturity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I hit the grocery store sale and came home with: regular MM, Sazerac Rye, and Bulleit Rye. I haven't had any MGP stuff in a while. It can be a nice change of pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
