I love this one. Syrupy, low burn, oakey, but way less than anticipated. But not as thin & oakey as EC18.

@JGrassa I’m a fan of their offerings. This bottle has similar specs to the bottle you shared. This is MGP that drinks like Bookers. Which I like! Thanks for giving me the idea to reach for this one.

Woodford Dbl Oak, WT101 8 Year, so good but has dried up here after being told it was sustainable. Sad. Nashville Barrel.

I traded 4 OWA & 1 WSR for it, so about 400 FMV & 225 cost to me. I'd happily make that trade again.

At least for me it beat the heck out of standing in line 1,500 miles away and paying $300 MSRP.

 

Yesterday's got better after 30 minutes. Less ethanol, more flavor. The carmel & the oak played quite  well together. There are more hints in there I cannot quite name.

Haven't had that but if it is anything like the Old Heaven Hill Ultra Premium 21 year from the 90s, it is won't disappoint. That was one of the best bourbons I've ever tasted.

My first glass of Bomberger's Declaration 2025. My first glass of any Bomberger's in some years tbh. Just opened a short while ago, so it may need some air. It is very good no doubt, but I am wondering if it is actually meeting the buzz it seems to be getting. Any thoughts on this?

 

My impression is that it is somewhere between a Russel's Reserve Single Barrel, and Bookers. It has a touch of that medicinal cherry note that I like in Russel's, but also a bit of the peanut notes I get from Bookers. Definitely highlights charred oak, with some vanilla, and a great deal of spice.
