I will keep rolling out hints until you ask for the key, to give you a better chance to guess
A is from Heaven Hill
C was $90
D is 96.6 proof
D. Is 1792 12yr. That’s a fantastic bottle. I doubt that I can find one for retail. Lol.I will keep rolling out hints until you ask for the key, to give you a better chance to guess

A. Really threw me off. I’ve had a bunch of Heaven Hill and immediately removed it from consideration ...but I don’t think I’d had a wheater from Heaven Hill other than Larceny. I just sampled my Larceny (yeah, it’s 10am LOL) and I don’t think it’s that. So I’ll guess Bernheim.
C. Maybe Japanese then. I’ve only had one Japanese whisky, and it was in an Old Fashioned at PF Chang. Lol.

Every time I took a sip from A, it was different. I kept getting a hint of grass, then it was gone. I kept wavering between 90 and 100 proof, as you can see on the sheet. Lol.
C really tasted older, 12yr+. I’m glad it wasn’t Eagle Rare 17 because I didn’t love it. Lol.
I was only way off in one price too!
Thanks again, Jim. Now I’ve gotta pick 4 to send back to you!
That’s why I need to plan an Oregon Bourbon hunt.
My wife and I HATE the Hibiki, especially for $90. That 1792 12 year is hard to find. I think your wife maybe hates the funky oak on the back end. IMO, it is very similar to BiB 1792, but with that funky oak present. Bernheim was my attempt to find an always available wheater to compete with Weller --- not even close LOL. While I have not yet opened my "best" bottles, that Stagg Jr is the best bourbon I have ever had. It only got better and better as I got down to the bottom.
Batch 14? Awesome. How does it compare to other stagg Jr. batches for you?
+1. I overpaid for mine I'm sure, but it was the best bourbon pour I've had to date
Yeah, we only pay MSRP here with no sales tax. It is nice, but they tax us hard in other ways
When I asked for a bottle she couldn't have been more excited to grab one for me lol.
Does anyone here negotiate prices?
Yeah that was the 14. I have not opened the 15 yet and I have never had any of the others since I am so new to whiskey. I have heard that Batch 12 was a MONSTER

Price check—McKenna 10 BiB for $60?
It’s $40 by me all day long. It has been going up in price everywhere though. It used to be $30

Damn, let us know what you think. I have heard great things about the 2020 TH Handy

And I missed GTS and WLW at the same price only a few days ago.

Does that mean BTAC was just delivered in the area, or was this specific to that store?

McKenna should be in the 40s regularly priced. As people have said, it used to be lower.

I don’t think so. The shopkeeper said they had it since thanksgiving or so.
The rise in prices of whiskey here in MD is crazy like 5x the price. Now don’t get me wrong you can find some but in general very hard and it is sad that good prices are gone for a while some places either do auctions or lotteries and either way still hard to get
