Ok, give me a minute and I will edit the post with maybe some good guesses!

@Saoliver
A: I give up
B: Baker's 7 Year
D: Alberta Cask Strength Rye - 132 proof!

woah!!!!!!

I cannot believe that A was the EC toasted barrel. I was reluctantly picking a Beam product but it really wasn't correct even in my mind -- I just know the Knob lover you are. I made a guess based on what you know I haven't had. Knob would have been nuttier and woodier, no? Still want the EC TB b/c I don't have one. It merely lost to 2 better whiskeys imo.

My 1 and 2 make sense to me. EHT has its place, but damn if they all don't have that "cleaning products" smell initially on the nose. Add the proof up and BOOYAH - I knew it was EHT BP - I am a 25% whiskey ninja!

That Alberta Cask Rye is a special whiskey. I am glad I own one I have yet to crack!!!!

THANKS DUDE!
 
alright, it "ejaculated the most toasty rye notes known to mankind" into my mouth LOL

 
I've had a hankering for some really nice Irish whiskey, so I stopped by my regular place to pick up a bottle of Redbreast. Two others jumped in the cart while I was there. You guys are really a *very* bad influence :LOL: :laugh:

I’m glad that you love the Alberta, since you just picked up a bottle.

If you don’t love the EC Toasted, I can trade something else to you and keep it. :)

Do you love the Peerless and EHT BP?

I need to be on the west coast lol. I haven't tried any of these. I think next week I'll be picking me up a "birthday bottle" of something. I haven't had the 1920 in quite some time. Hmmmmm

Here's a helpful website. State of Ohio liquor control. It's basically the MSRP. Only difficulty is if Ohio doesn't sell something, then it won't be there.
Distiller says $$$$ out of $$$$$ for price, which is $100-200 (yes that is unhelpful, that is a BIG range). I found where somebody paid $150 for the rye.
 
So, good news today. I've worked hard for a couple weeks to achieve some personal goals (which I've mentioned before in this thread) and I've reached a point where I can have my first celebration. Never had the 1792 full proof (this one is single barrel). I'm opening it tonight. It's challenger, Bulleit barrel strength. Which clearly I have drank before.

If I'm not too drunk, I might also try comparing it to EC Barrel Proof A119. I like the Bulleit, but I have no desire to seek out more. I really like EC BP. It will be interesting to see where the 1792 falls. I also have a place where I know I can buy more of the 1792 @ $43 out the door if I want more. See ya tonight. Time to go to buy alcohol (Clynelish 14) for somebody else who wants it.

I am VERY tempted to drink these with you tonight. I have a 1792 Full Proof that I haven’t opened. The Bulleit is my favorite full proof for cocktails, but a rough one to have neat. I’ve got ECBP B520 and C920.

Hmmm....tag me when you are ready to pour. :tup:

And congrats on hitting your goals.

Everyone I've talked to says the regular 1792 Full Proof is better than the store picks. I really like the regular...

Tough to find. I bought the 14th edition 10 year heavy char for $120. Yet to crack it, but I have not seen a single negative review. Overwhelmingly positive reviews

Got it for $179 out the door, so not a terrible markup. Next three stores had it at $550 and up, so....

Excited to try this one—look at that deep, dark color!
