Can anyone explain why Weller C.Y.P.B. Is going for so much?

I wasn't going to have a drink tonight. All of this bourbon chat is making me thirsty.

Limited edition one off bottling of one of the most popular lines, second only to Pappy.

More people flip and/or chase the thrill of the hunt than drink nowadays imo. It’s become more of a collectible hobby than a consumption hobby.

Same, time for a pour.

How is that? My go-to shop has it, but extremely spendy, like north of $300.

It is really good! I got it for MSRP, first pour but I don’t think it is a $300 bourbon.

Last pour of ECBP B919

I wish I had a case of C920 and B520. They’re both fantastic. Weirdly the B520 was hotter for me but both are fantastic!

That is odd.

The next release of Elijah Craig barrel proof should be out pretty soon, no?

Correct A121

Yeah I feel like I need to get another bottle of each to see if my bottles were just strange

Or we just have different opinions of it. I mean, mine is right, but whatevs.

I'm really looking forward to this bottle. Saw it on the shelf for $130 and bought it without really knowing anything about it. The reviews are all extremely positive.

 

[joeyshin]

Has anyone dealt with Mora's Fine Wine and Spirits?

I ordered a Smoke Wagon Uncut/Unfiltered from them on 1/9. All of their emails to me were assumed to be spam from my gmail. I also never received a tracking # for the FedEx shipment which seemed unusual. I sent a very polite email to them tonight requesting the tracking # but I am starting to worry here. They seem legit and I am probably worrying about nothing.

Did you ever hear back? I got several bottles sitting in my cart.

 

[Big Jilm]

Not yet, I am thinking tomorrow. If no response, I'll call them Tuesday.

That’s what I got it for, my most expensive bourbon ever. But I have to agree with the reviews and happy I got it. I will say it’s a lot different then the 110+ proofs I usually drink. The 90.4 is a nice change of pace.

Spotted this at a nearby store and snagged one... It's supposed to be good, right? MGP right? Has anyone tried the Reserve? They had some of that also and I'm wondering if it's worth the price ($69 I think it was?)

 

[Pinkdan]

Anyone had this style of Old Forester before?

 

[detroitdad]

I've never seen the blue label Old Forester before. Price tag?

I have the reserve XO Madeira and sherry. BM isn’t to my palate so I haven’t bought any more

 

[gopherblue]

Thanks again, @ssanel54! A little Cigar Blend #19

$85

 

[gopherblue]

Moving on...

First time with ice...holy sh!t this is good!

 

[gopherblue]

And the hits keep coming. Back to @ssanel54’s samples....

 

[Forty4]

I have to revisit my Stagg Jr.

I have to revisit my Stagg Jr.

Never had that either

 

[Pinkdan]

Never had that either

I’ll send you a sample

I have to revisit my Stagg Jr.

What I really want to do is visit with Stagg Sr. But I'm still looking (other than the sample I got from Scott).
