You are drinking for two, since I’m dry this month. Hahahahaha
Or you are making up for your dry month.
Both I reckon

What's with all the "dry month" business, fellas? Is there a contest to see who can drink bourbon the slowest?
Just taking a month to be healthier in all ways. But I should have done this in February. Hahahaha.
No drinking or buying this month. But I do have samples to send out.
It was actually very nice. My wife and I plan on 2 to 3 per year from now on.
Next one is after the Superbowl....cause I ain't stopping during football season!

Enjoying a glass of Red Empire. First time for me. I like it. It's a little sweet initially, then finishes a little spicy which I like. Good, not great, at 40 bucks I probably won't buy it again.

Blue was not my favorite. I preferred Red as a special thing and Yellow for every day.
Anyone need this 15 year Barrel Bourbon Cask Strength. It's a little above my pay grade for drinking whiskey. LMK. Last bottle on shelf and I'll be shopping next door for a bit.
Anyone into infinity bottles?
I do all my neck pours into a infinity bottle.
Yup. First 2oz out of every KY Bourbon I open. I had a running list, but it got too long. I don’t keep track anymore.

ive only tried one Barrell bourbon and I didn’t really like it. I have an infinity Barrell unopened but I don’t want to open it since I didn’t like their standard. $250 is a lot for a 15 year. So many 15 year scotches I would prefer For less.
yeah, a 15 year old bourbon would make me want to know what I was getting into before I bought it... and $250 for a bourbon is WAY more than I'd pay.
I've never tried any Barrel bourbon myself but seeing that it was only 1 bottle left, 15 year cask strength, I thought someone here might be interested.

Don't let the peanut gallery get to you. For every five posts I make with "anybody want this?", I'll get one positive response and mostly crickets. On the bright side, I've ended up with a couple extra nice bottles as a result of people on the fence. Nothing $250ish though. I've even been turned on to a few good ones, like Redwood Lost Monarch, that I never would have tried otherwise.
so you’ve come around to like the lost monarch? One of the best bang for the buck before the hype train catches on
I am a big fan of Barrell myself. They put out some of the best stuff around, although they are not batting 100% with their releases. Totally understandable since they have new stuff out all the time.
The first release of the 15 year old is definitely among the best bourbons I've ever had. The second release wasn't as good but still pretty tasty. I have not opened the third release yet. The bottle shown above is the third release btw.
I bought it since I had the older versions and I wanted to compare, but yeah, $250ish retail is up there in price for sure...

Im in the exact same boat. After drinking batch 1, I sought out a second bottle at $300. I really enjoyed batch 2, but it wasnt at the same level. Have not tried Batch 3. If going for a 200+ retail bottle, this is a solid bet, and probably will be better than most others in the same range.
What they are doing, sourcing great barrels, blending them, and repeating is a cool concept. At times I normally go for a bit more consistency, if I’m spending that much on an entire bottle I want to know I’ll enjoy it. Though I’ve heard the barrel dovetail is great and I plan to pick that up.
going in the total other direction from consistency
I’ve got some plans.

Hibikis are great for infinity Bottles

Still looking: any whiskey PCF'ers in the Milwaukee or Madison area? Need a proxy to buy a bottle or two.
Thanks!

I put the first 2 ounces of each bottle I open into mine as well, but mine is not exclusive to just Kentucky bourbons. Coincidentally, I just finished my first fill up tonight! 13 different whiskies that combine for an overall bottle proof of 104.3. Gonna have my first pour from it on Friday night at my cash game.
What's in it?
