Sipping on some Eagle Rare 10 while having a Punch Bareknuckle Rothschild.

Signed up for next month's whiskey event, 5 course meal cooked by Chef Ed Lee making stuff out of his new bourbon cookbook, come with a copy of the book and 5 pours from BBC to pair with the food :noon

Nice grab! OFBB can be anywhere from "ok" to "dang that's delicious," I've tried a few years but the only one I've ever ended up with a bottle of is 2020 which in my opinions was a "just ok" year. I'm hoping I can trade it for a 2023 to commemorate Melody's birthday, but I haven't tried that hard and would want to do it locally to avoid shipping that stupid bottle. I would have to find somebody who hasn't tried it :r

Based on my limited experience (one sample), I'm passing on JD10 every time. Different story if I run across a JD12 :dr

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!

Thanks Dave!

Bob, I passed on the WRBP at $119 here. The price on the JD10 ain't bad, but like Ben says, "meh".

I cracked a Stagg Jr Batch 15 last night just because I haven't had a Stagg open for a while.

Just grabbed a Ben Holladay BiB. Same store had some surprising things out on the shelves. Blantons, Bookers (2023), A Midwinters Nights Dram, JD10/12. Of course, insane prices.

Yea, me too. Most things were $50 over SRP. :fp

Did hit up my local store to give a fiver to one of the managers. Grabbed the first bottle of Buffaloe Trace SP and a 1792 FP.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!

I've had some really good 1792 FP picks, Bob, hope yours is stellar.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!

I had some KC 9-Year Single Barrel Reserve last night, followed by some ER 10.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!

Tried 1792 Sweet Wheat while out for dinner with QT. Then had a second pour of the same. Very different from a lot of the wheated bourbons I've tried, I'll be on the lookout for a bottle.'
