I kinda liked the first batch A223...

I did too…and B923

This is not anything like ECBP or LBP where certain batches are better but even the lesser batches are pretty damn good. This Bernheim batch is a significant drop off to me. Oh well…Guess it could be worse…I’m talking to you Makers 46CS

I know a lot of folks don't like this bottle, but it's definitely grown on me. Crazy combo of sweet toasted almond and spicy cinnamon.

Mine kept getting better and better after each pour! It was hotter than hell at first, but settled in quite nicely.

Best scotch and bourbon for a reasonable price imho would be balvenie 12 (~$70) and Jefferson's Reserve (~$60) respectively

 

[Payback]

I can’t tell when I zoom in on the New Riff, but if that’s a first edition scrub donkey pick, I’d love to have that.

Exactly what I was thinking. That was a good bottle.

I've never heard of that bourbon. Unless you mean Jefferson's Reserve. If so, I think it's pretty ordinary, and kinda expensive for a 90P bottle.

Balvenie 12 is good, not great. I’d spend a little more for clynelish 14. Or something peaty like Laphroaig 10 or Lagavulin 16

Jefferson’s reserve is subpar for its price. There literally dozens of <$60 bottles that Jefferson’s couldn’t even compete with. But Jefferson’s presidential select is pretty great but not for its price. I still have my 25year jps 200ml

I mean, I still have an unopened bottle of the 1st pick, but as you guys said, it's so good. I'm holding on to that one for now.

I think they taste very good and are incredibly smooth. Whiskey is a very "to each their own" subject

I think you'll find, around here, that "smooth" is not a plus.

Ohh so happy to have found this thread. Big whiskey fan in general here, and personally vale or bang for your buck is a top priority. My daily drinker right now is Four Roses Single Barrel, Rittenhouse Rye for Old Fashioned's, Dalwhinnie 15 for Scotch, JW Blue and Monkey Sholder for blended and Redbrest 12 for Irish.

Welcome to the best thread here. Lol

All are great choices. Rittenhouse Rye makes excellent cocktails.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Picked up a new one and a couple of cabinet staple backups

All good choices. If you're happy with those.... run. Run fast. And don't look back....

If I can tell the difference between my drink and gasoline, then that is some weak ass brown liquid, which may as well be bud light.

Sometimes I am in the mood for a smooth pour............Tonight isn't going to be one of them!

 

[wolfpack]

OF single barrel 100s are so damn good

 

[wolfpack]

Had a hell of a bottle haul for August

Literally just watched it, impressive!

 

[detroitdad]

I was going to roll with a barrel-proof tonight. I decided to mix it up instead.

 

[RocAFella1]

But Jefferson’s presidential select is pretty great but not for its price.

JPS 17 among my favorite pours all time

I posted up above regarding some TW sales. I went by the store today to pick up a couple of them, and found a few more pretty awesome values. I purchased all four of these bottles for a total of just under $160 before tax! All of these are normally between low 50s to high 60s. All are bottles I've been wanting to try, especially the Still Austin and the Frey Ranch. Who knew there were whiskey sales!!!

I typically equate "smooth" with lower proof. And less complex flavors.
