The Jefferson's Ocean is great stuff. Always keep a bottle around.

That is a very nice collection. I didn't "love" Noah's Mill". The Forged Oak and the Rhetoric are pretty damn good. I've never had the pleasure of enjoying any of the Pappy's.

I could use 5 more? lol.
Seriously, this has become my favorite glass. Now that the holidays are over with I plan on moving forward with my own custom bourbon glasses. When the time comes, I'll get your address and have one shipped to you (I'm probably going with your guy).

The Noah's Mill is problematic because of being 115 proof. It takes most people a bit of experimentation adding drops of water until they reach a sweet spot.
I don't think I've had a dud yet from Orphan Barrel, but they're not bargain bourbon, by any means.
This Pappy 23 is my all-time bourbon favorite, but it's down to about a quarter bottle now, and I'd never spend the money to buy another. The going rate -- even for empty bottles on eBay -- is just ridiculous.

I love me some barrel proof bourbons. I routinely drink 120 to 135 proof. I love the bite
Just curious, what do people pay for empty bottles? I can’t understand why anyone would want to buy one.
I could think of one reason
shady ass people refilling and selling to unsuspecting victim
Wow, I didn’t even think of that ... a counterfeit whiskey business!I could think of one reason
I could think of one reason
That would be my guess too. I've seen them as high as $150 -- $200 with the fabric bag.

Pretty good, a little bit "hot", needs a few drops of water, but nice flavor overall.

Picked this up today. One of my favorites.
Fill it with $20 bourbon pretend to be a baller to unsuspecting friends.
But ya the market is crazy right now. People are paying $1525 for the Pappy 20 on winebeserkers.com right now.
Received this for Christmas, pretty good actually!

What do you mean "actually"?!
Good point, I think it just took me by surprise at how good it is. I’ve never had it, but have seen it plenty. Just have always drank Woodford mostly. But this will be on the list from now on for sure.

The BBR single malts can be pretty awesome. I have a Port Ellen that I bought for £90 that I can’t bear to open. It’s worth like 10 times that now.

So are the Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice bottlings.
Oh, bear it! You might be struck by lightning tomorrow! Open up! Port Ellens are, without exception, wonderful.

I will. And, I know...when I bought it, Berry Bros kept pouring me samples. Must’ve been there for 3 hours and had 4 drams of it.Oh, bear it! You might be struck by lightning tomorrow! Open up! Port Ellens are, without exception, wonderful.

I bought this for my friend that hosts our weekly-ish game nights and often shares drinks from his Scotch collection. Which means I will get to drink some too, which is the best kind of gift.

I love this one for the price. I'd have a Macallan for Neil, but I don't have any, so this will have to do.
I love that bottle. Excellent pour for that price point. Cheers!
