Such is the life of aughhhh. throwing a beanie and jacket on, slamming a Gatorade, hating life b/c of last night, and I'm about to hit the road in search of the magical mystical bottles that elude me time and time again.
I know reviews and impressions are a bit subjective but my look around the interweb showed that most people preferred the -02 over the Pigskin -03. Just curious your opinion on what you drankWait....is mine not the Boston Batch? --- Haven't had the pigskin batch. Just realized what you were referring to...

I hear ya. Always nice to get a frank review.I'll be honest, I did not like it at first. It has been sitting for a few weeks and really enjoyed what I had last night. My palate is evolving as we speak!
Which recipe 4Roses? Their barrel strengths are hands down my favorite non-Uber rare bourbon, particularly OBSO, OBSK and OBSV >10years old.
Haul from this morning, been trying to track down this Michters for a couple years, got a new store owner that hooked me up at ~msrp, can’t wait to try it. Haven’t had much Whistlepig, but apparently this is from an overlooked 17.5yr barrel K&L got ahold of. View attachment 589321

Buffalo Trace is available like once a month and then it sells out- I usually buy 6-12 bottles if I catch it.So weird. I can get Buffalo Trace by the 750 or 1.75L any time I want. Eagle rare is, well, rare.
DE is skewed by the fact there is no sales tax and the beach towns which sell a ton of booze. Source: I used to live there.Buffalo Trace is available like once a month and then it sells out- I usually buy 6-12 bottles if I catch it.
Eagle Rare is always on the shelves.
When I stop at the store tomorrow I’ll grab a panoramic of the whiskey section if I rememberView attachment 589453
The store I shop at is one of the busiest in the country.
There are NO alcoholics in NH! (Number is not at all skewed by the state run liquor stores on the highway on some of the busiest thoroughfares in the country)
Buffalo Trace is available everywhere out here for <$25ish, store picks even sit around at $30, Eagle Rare is around $30 and isn’t hard to find. Weller special reserve flies off shelves at $30-40 though and 107 is usually $75-$100 and hard to findSo weird. I can get Buffalo Trace by the 750 or 1.75L any time I want. Eagle rare is, well, rare.
Buffalo Trace is $26.99 when it's availableI should pull a Kramer. Load up a delivery van with the buy-6-get-1-free Buffalo Trace supermarket specials and drive them to NH. Profit!
I've seen them. I did not buy.While we're talking Four Roses for a minute, how are people getting any of these?

Auction? Right place right time? I'm genuinely curious. This bottle is out of my price range.
Hope it’s because they were stupid marked up.I've seen them. I did not buy.
