It was finally time that I poured this. Oh, and it is VERY good. I think it’s worth the $70 retail...though $15 of that is probably in the ridiculously heavy bottle.
I can up here. I’m looking for a couple bottles of Old Ezra 7yr, and it looks like they are all over Portland area.
Didn't think about checking the Total Wine in Vancouver...
I'll keep an eye out for Old Ezra 7.
(Available) Old Forester Bourbons Ranked:
1920 - So good. One of the best values I can think of. Complex and 115 proof, so maybe not for everyone.
1897 - Cherry bomb. Cherry cola.
1910 - I didn’t like it at first. But now I love it. Toasted oak. Sweet. Oatmeal cookie with vanilla frosting.
100 proof - Great value. Excellent “good” bourbon for mixed drinks.
Statesman - More spice and cinnamon than the rest.
1870 - Good but not great.

86 proof - Why, when you can get the 100 proof for a couple bucks more?

Very late Zoom Holiday Party this afternoon - just cracked one of my favorite go-to bottles
What are your thoughts on WT 101?
Wild Turkey 101? Don't think I've ever had it - recommend?
Wow, that's a serious assessment - I will check it out next time, thanks for the suggestion!
You don’t take note of the finish? Often that’s the deciding factor for me.
Yeah I normally try to, I say aftertaste or finish. The 101 has a fantastic finish. I think it’s my budget bourbon pick for sure

101 kicks BT's ass.

Here's the fancy shelf at "Handy Spot Liquor" in my town.
Imagine the most you would pay for any of these bottles, then add at least 20-40%. They are short some Blanton's and an EHT rye (and Van Winkle Rye) since the last time I went in, so people are negotiating with them and buying stuff. But even mildly desirable things like EC Barrel Proof and Booker's they don't post a price and add 10-30% to retail when you check out, but will lower it for you if you negotiate or buy more.
Bye Felicia. Nickel and dime somebody else.

I'd love to share a Dareringer some time. I have the Rabbit Hole Cavehill and I like it.

Never had either. No better time than the present! The guy that helped me GUSHED over Wilderness Trail. Said he can't keep it on the shelf. He also said he sees about 6 cases a year of Weller.

I probably agree with about 95% of this. I'd rank the Statesman a little higher. I don't even mind sipping the 100 proof.
I also agree about the 1910. I didn't like it my first go around.

Yes, absolutely. Been on it myself lately. Great in an old fashioned

Good couple of weeks. We never see EH Taylor here in PA.
That Alberta Premium Rye is so good!
Bad news: Flaviar sent me the wrong bottle. I ordered single barrel Bourbon and they sent single barrel rye.
Good news: I think that I am really going to like it...and maybe they will send me the correct bottle and let me keep this one.

I wish bourbon came is classy looking boxes... the liquor store has a wall of boxed scotch... I wish I didn't hate scoth so much.

I really can’t place A. I know what it’s not, but no idea of what it is.
I’m thinking that C might be Old Fitzgerald now. I have no idea if you have that. But it does feel older...12yrs or older.

That Magnus Cigar Blend is a HITTER!
Are you ready for hints?!!
A is a wheater
B - YOU NAILED (almost) - It was Stagg Jr Batch 14
C was your curveball. Hint: not a bourbon, not from America
D is 12 years old and from the Barton Distillery
