Uh, save some of that there on the right for me big dog!
You already know.

Batch 17 is so fucking good. But if GTS is a 100/100 (and it is. It’s the best thing I’ve ever tasted.), then batch 17 is a 94. Batch 17 is spicier, and definitely younger. But definitely the closest thing to GTS.

GTS is so refined. It’s hard to explain just how it hits your nose and palate. It’s complex and hits in waves, but with smoothed edges. So. Damn. Good.

What year GTS?
 
Look at all these bottles I’ve overpaid for.

If any of y’all come across a Russels Reserve 13 and don’t need it, please snag it for me - I missed out on it last year and I’m a huge Turkey fan

I was supposed to get one last year but the case that my local store was expecting was never on the delivery truck. The store manager I know pretty well said he was told there was a “clerical error” and that the warehouse never had any :mad:

I got very lucky. At the time my store got its first case, I was making a decision and went online for information or reviews and there was literally nothing. I think I found one mention of it in a whiskey blog. Said what the heck and bought one, and I'm very happy I did. He got another case the next week but wouldn't let me have another.
 
Alright @wolfpack. I’m back at it with your samples.

I get the same smoky, and briny but sweet notes that I got from a previous sample from you. Maybe you sent me another of the same. :unsure:

It’s doesn’t taste like scotch to me now, but it doesn’t taste like bourbon. I’m not familiar with many craft bourbons or American whiskeys. But I have to think that this is certainly one. Or a really young bourbon.

It’s not bad. But it’s not something that I’d buy after tasting it. 6.5/10.

I know that I’m not broken now, though. Everything I’ve had in the last week tasted correct. Hahahahaha

I find this one to be very woody like it is full of tannins.
 
I had sunlight coming through the window hitting the globe bar. Then I realized....My whiskey is kind of like a gremlin.

do not expose the whiskey to light, especially sunlight, which will kill it; do not let it come in contact with water (drink straight); and above all, never drink it after midnight...it hurts

My bottles live in darkness, and never get water. The after midnight part though…
 
Seems like enough knowledge on this page without me having to go to another forum to ask this question. Does anyone know what the difference is in these 2 bottles? The label on the latest one I picked up has color flames. I’ve not seen another one like it and my searches on the web have come up with nothing.
