AND NOW......LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE NUMBER ONE PICK!!!!!

In 1st Place, D:
98.9 Proof
$70
Thomas S. Moore - Finished in Port Casks

My picks were:
#1: B - Parker's (LOVE this one....one of my favorite whiskeys I have ever had)
#2: D - TSM Port (wonderful, isn't it? Way to go Barton!)
#3: A - SW UCUF (obviously outstanding)
#4: C - Remus RR II (Also outstanding)

This was not an easy blind as all three were absolutely terrific whiskeys. I almost felt bad you had to rank them! HAHA. I am very glad you enjoyed them!!!

Thanks, Jim. They were all really good. I’d pay $100+ for each of them.

I saw the Parker’s once for $160 early into my bourbon journey and passed on it. I regret that.

Lotta oak but still a good amount of sweetness on the nose. Taste: Lotta rye spice up front with oak. Very dry feel. Almost a tobacco taste to finish maybe that’s just more oak. Not a ton of sweet but a smidge comes through.

Completely different from anything else in my cabinet right now so it was a nice change of pace. 15 year store pick wins hands down for me in a side by side. The higher proof, slightly sweeter, and less oaky store pick is tough to beat for me personally.

Pretty much what you said, if the 15y were $60 I’d buy it often, I think I found it for $80 at Costco, wouldn’t pay $100 for it. The other 14.5y store pick I have is one of the best bottles I’ve ever owned, fights way above its weight class, super tasty, balanced, complex and I prefer the 120proof.

Maker's is wheated. Weller is a unicorn in Indiana, but it is also wheated. I'm sure you knew. There are also a bunch of wheated whiskeys, but not sure if they are bourbons, like Bernheim and Wyoming. There's a Woodford and a 1792 too. Again, I'm sure you knew.

Don't forget Pappy's
 
Oof paying for it this morning! That’s ok though. Pretty sure I liked the 46 C.S. better than the FAE01. It was close, and I paid about the same for both.

I find it interesting that Maker’s can’t get their proof above 110.
 
Stopped at a few places after work trying to hunt down a Cigar Blend (not gonna find it :()Didn’t wanna come home empty handed so I settled for a bottle of this.

I liked the regular Magnus quite a bit, curious to see how this compares. Is this typically more sought after than regular Magnus? Rarely see this bottle compared to the other.

Yeah that's pretty standard around here (which is why I haven't tried it yet). I got the ECBP for $60 or $65 in February. Not a good sign. :cry:

Ouchie. I'll pick up every EC TB I see around me from now on, and send them to the less fortunate.
