Dude would have been told flat out to keep at least 3-4 of those cases on the hand truck and follow me out to the parking lot as I’m handing the clerk my credit card

Just out of curiosity…what %ABV is your bottle? I’m guessing it’s either 63.7 (batch 3) or 63.5 (batch 4). IF it’s 66% ABV, that would be batch 2 and a major score. That was my favorite, but they’re all bangers.

the GM would’ve laughed his ass off.

63.5 - will try it out and report back.

I too would have gotten a case at $29… it gets as high as $99 here but usually around $65 I think

Guess what day it is? 1oz pours tonight.

Three winners as far as I'm concerned...

Are these usually pretty good?

Store pick single barrel should be a no brainer unless you have past experiences with bad picks from that retailer. I’ve only had a “regular” single barrel and I thought it was very good.

It’s hard to say. It depends on who picked it, and if their preferred profile matches yours. This is cheap enough to take the risk.

Also, some stores will have open bottles of their store picks that you can sample. It never hurts to ask!

Thanks guys.

Yes.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Yup…this is a keeper! In a way, I’m kinda glad I started to get bored with bourbon/rye and tried a few Irish whiskies. My wallet probably isn’t, but my tastebuds are thanking me!

Enjoying a nice fireplace evening before the gross muggy summer weather kicks in.

I looked for this today, but all they had was the regular $30 Powers bottle.

But this is quite tasty! Thanks for the good advice.

I have to admit, $29 is a steal.

Nose is sharp with a mellowed mint forward rye note.

The viscosity and mouthfeel on this immediately reminded me of my Russell’s single barrels. Palate comes with a faux sweetness that eases you into the
straightforward rye.

Finish was fleeting but the oilyness lingered leaving a nice spicy prickle in my cheeks.

I’ll have to get another bottle or two, not sure there’s a better cask strength offering anywhere near $29… last one I got this discounted was a rebel single barrel store pick for $30 that was a total cinnamon bomb.

Appreciate the rec, will have to share more pours - the whiskey shelf quickly turned into a closet….

From what I’ve been told and have seen here locally, the John’s Lane edition is not very common. It’s out of stock in every store in my county, but my go to ABC store is in a different county and still has a few on the shelf. I’ll definitely be grabbing a backup or 2 next time I need to run an “errand”. It’s a fantastic pour!

 

[gopherblue]

I am really glad this isn't available locally.

Two words: Windsor, Ontario.

Grill is fired up and the Open is on! Nothing better than watching some of the pros struggle on a course that’s kicked my ass many a round

on a side note…it’s awesome to see they finally put the course back to the way Donald Ross originally intended it to be

Since tomorrow is National Bourbom Day, I declare today as Thuryeday.

 

[Billy Baroo]

In recognition of National Bourbon Day…

and the fact that my boss ducked out at 10AM this morning to start his vacation early

 

[TonZaga]

Happy National Bourbon Day, all!!!

 

[krafticus]

Pre-ordered, but otherwise on a buying hiatus now (unless a unicorn pops up)

Nothing going on later, so I’ll have a pour or 12

 

[Saoliver]

Happy National Bourbon Day. I’m sharing pours with my neighbor. 4R LE is up next.

I'm sure there is lots available in Windsor!

 

[Irish]

This is good stuff

 

[Hot Nuts]

I also would have bought them all at $40 bucks!!!!!

It's my go-to. They used to be $45 in NC, but they recently went up to $48. They're on sale at least this month, back to $45.

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

I heard today was National Bourbon day. But... I drove an hour round trip to buy this bottle, so this is what I'm drinking first!

The night is young. Plenty of time to get to the bourbon later.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Gotta go with the OG for National Bourbon Day
