Well, I struck out. Based off raffle ticket #'s (and my eyes), estimating 500+ people were there. My buddy's ticket was drawn on the 4th to last draw and he picked up Larceny Barrel Proof. Thanks for all the feedback.I'm heading to my first bourbon raffle tonight. I like to joke that my flavor profile is "on sale", but my typical bottles are Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek 9, Makers 46, Old Forester 1920...so nothing really over the $50-$60 price point. Below is the full list of what is being offered. I've heard of some items before but would like to get some insight on what I should be targeting. Some items have the same name but different prices, assuming those are just different years and they left off the year. I'd like to get your thoughts on any bottles that are a must, any to avoid or at least dont waste a raffle opportunity on, etc. Appreciate the input. I'm sure there will be a ton of people there, it says there are 100 bottles total, but they didnt give quantities of what.
I'll be using my "One Time!".

SUPER FUN to set up, ugh. But, we good!
To everyone who pushed me to buy the ECBP C922..
I still have an unopened bottle of the original cask strength that I'm reluctant to open. When I heard that they were changing it, I went out I was able to buy six of them. It was one of my favorite bourbons for both sipping and mixing. I was really upset when they decided to go to 108.3. How does this one compare to the original?
Holy sheeeet. There’s gotta be a story with this score

I’ve only had the 108.3 version, so I have no baseline for comparison. I would be comfortable assuming that they’re pretty similar if not the same profile wise.
It’s kinda like the old vs new label OF1920…some swear that they’re different and others (myself included) think they’re exactly the same.
Yep and it involves some taters outsmarting themselves lol. Just to much to type up.
I'm one of those people that swears OF1920 has changed. I guess I'll just have to pickup the 108.3 and see for myself.
Part of what I really liked about it was its versatility. It was great neat, but it was also high enough proof where when used in an old fashioned would not lose any of the great flavors.

How are you guys able to buy stuff like this in quantity?
Oh, only 3 of those bottles are C922. But I will usually buy 3 or 4 of a batch that I like. Plus single barrel store picks.
it actually takes a lot of planning and making the right contacts in your area to find out what will be where.

I absolutely love this batch of Larceny! By far the best Larceny batch to date and I think it might be a tick better than the C922 ECBP

Shhhhh!
I'm a big Bourbon County fan. I have a case of 2018 in the cellar, as well as maybe a dozen additional assorted bottles from 2016-2022.
I went to a beer share last night and brought a 2015 Regal Rye (aged in rye whiskey barrels with blackberries, cherries, and sea salt). In spite of being a little past the "age up to 5 years" recommendation, it was still outstanding and one of the best bottles of the night.

I think we can agree that store picks in general are good to great, some flat out excellent.
Something about the Woodinville private selections just hit different. It's been said before, if you see one, buy it.
I've had 8 different ones now, many that have dominated in blinds vs. heavy hitters.
This one is no exception.
