I’ve had a sip. It was very good but not worth the $500 it would have cost for a full bottle.So has anyone itt tried the Weller single barrell? I loved Full proof, but can’t imagine single barrel or CYPB be worth the extra money?

That's the smallest barrel I've ever seen!
I've got a Bowman's barrel in my garage.

Filled with beer though.
For just a few bucks more, I prefer Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel. I can sometimes find it for $55.I grabbed a bottle of the Wild Turkey Rare Breed. I'll be cracking it open tonight!
Why not just get the Buffalo Trace White Dog and try to “make” your ownI just finished curing the oak barrel with water for a couple of weeks. Here's what the water looks like afterward. Definitely tastes like oak. Stoked to try this out with the 107. Should be fun!

Yeah that sounds exhausting, lol. Good call on passing.
Picked up that bottle 1792 BiB (thanks again for the tip @juankay20 ) so tonight I'm doing a little comparison of BiB vs Full Proof while playing some Mavens.

I always get banana off the BiB (especially the nose), so tasty!Thoroughly enjoyed both of these, but I'm not terribly surprised as I do like the 1792 flavor profile. Don't think I could pick a "winner" after this first tasting, more will be needed. The Full Proof is definitely some jet fuel, but it's very good jet fuel. I found letting it sit for a bit helped to soften that edge a bit. Love the combination of sweeter vanilla-ish and darker fruity tones with the spicy (almost rye-like) finish. BiB was a little more subdued and didn't have the fire of the full proof but very well balanced. Definitely have to revisit the comparison in the near future.![]()

Are you offering shipping services?That's some smart meta-gaming right there...
Here's today's "discovery". These are #2s. The missing bottle is the one I bought last week or the week before. I guess people still don't want it at even this price. That or they are restocking and getting rid of all the corporate wide inventory through this store.

It would not be the first time if I did.Are you offering shipping services?
Buffalo trace is my go to. My favorite for the price.Buffalo Trace cherry popped tonight.
I must say, so much value in this $19.99 bottle. I’m impressed.

Well, well, Weller.. just followed up with my source from yesterday and managed to snag a bottle of 12 (he didn't have any Antique unfortunately) for £49.95 including shipping (about $62)!
I just might have to try that next!
Have you tried it? I’ve always been curious how it would turn out.Don't, Travis! LOL!!!

I am whittling my open bottles down. I think I am going to go with an approximately 10 open bottles approach as follows... (vs the 32 I have)
1. A HITTER (Pappy, GTS, WLW, ER17, 4 roses LE, ...whatevs)
2. Weller or EHT - could include 2 bottles of Weller if SR and something else AND 2 bottles of EHT if Small Batch and something else) - so, 14 bottles possible
3. 1792 (BiB, or FP, or 12 year)
4. Old Forester (Statesman, 1897, or 1920....or obviously birthday bourbon....but that would likely be a hitter)
5. A high end Beam product..... (Bookers or whatever)
6. Noah's Mill or something similar
7. Another Beam product....Knob Creek (SB or 12)
8. A Rye (to sip, like Alberta, MWND etc)
9. A rye (to mix - that gets complicated depending on the drink)
10. MGP (something with MGP like Smoke Wagon)
(11). Infinity (always open!)
(12). The Latest Greatest Whatever
I can help with that “unmanageable” situation, if only it wasn’t a six hour drive.Love the concept, Jim! One of those days I'll have to come up with something similar as things are quite unmanageable as far as open bottles go for me.
I see a lot of bourbon / American whiskey conversations on this thread and in culture. Have traditional scotches gone out of fashion?
I got introduced to whiskey by my dad who loved Johnnie Walker Black Label more than anything. It was always scotch for him. When he could afford it, he would sip on Blue Label.
