Wild Turkey 101 - 8 Year

I have yet to see this on the shelf in any Ohio store. I doubt I will.  Ohio sucks for Bourbon.

Oh,

c'mon.

 

I keep hearing all these stories about OWA being in every store there like it's water.

I haven't spotted it yet,  but if it shows up with a $44 (or so) price tag,  I'm game.   I'm eager to see how it stacks up against Russell's Reserve 10, which is more or less a similar prices.    The last bottle of RR10 I purchased was ridiculously good,  much better than I'd ever remembered.   Does 10 years at 90 proof trump 8 years at 101 proof?

Yes!

I got one of these (thanks to the random tip I saw that Binny's has these...was passing through Chicago last week) and I'm pumped because I probably would been waiting a while if I tried to get one here in VA.  If the state stores put something on the allocated list then it will automatically be hard to find.  They could put Mellow Corn on the allocated list and every VA tater and bourbon bro would be milling around in every store and tipping off all their buds to try and get one...ha ha

We bought ours at the ABC store in King George, VA a month ago.  I pop in there every time we head South to visit family in Va Beach and always ask if they have any allocated bottles. They rarely do, but they did have the 8 year with a one bottle limit. My wife and I each bought one.  $44.95 each and HEY! Don't diss the Mellow Corn!
