Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Most of the Abe's go out through a lottery where you have to pick up at the distillery in VA, an hour from my in-laws so they usually end up entering all the lotteries whether they know it or not

I’ve polished off nearly half the bottle I bought Wednesday. Guess I must like it.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Serious question for all you bourbon nerdniks ... Evan Williams: I know it's a gd cheap well brand, but I keep reading it's one of the best values to be had out there. I probably should buy it and try it, but no one is more miserly than yours truly, so I thought I'd see what the resident experts have to say. Thoughts?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I second the BIB and Single Barrel. They both drink pricier than they are. However, I do keep a bottle of Black Label (which is 86 proof) on hand for an occasional end of the evening drink after I've destroyed my palette with better whiskies and smokes.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I agree with Sterns and PW assessments on the EW BIB and SiB, but that is if you want to go inexpensive. There are a lot of other bourbons out there that are good and usually in the $15-$25 range. Early Time BIB is one that I like that is around $20-$25 a bottle.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I think I have a problem.
I was clearing out my Tahoe and I found 6 random bottles in the back that included a bottle of Blantons, OFSB, a couple of EHT, Old Scout and Stagg. All of them were unopened and in good condition. All of them were buried under blankets and other things as I have been moving things out of my parent's house.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I've been enjoying some Wilderness Trail Family Reserve Cask Strength the last couple of nights. It's pretty damned enjoyable, although it drinks a little hotter than its 112 proof.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Last week I acquired a bottle of Little Book Chapter 3. I had a bottle a couple years back and it was so disappointing when you know the ingredients ( 9 year old Knob Creek, 9 year old Basil Hayden's, 11 year old Booker's, and 12 year old Baker's. ) . It's so universally loved, I speculated that I got a bad bottle somehow. This should be my wheelhouse and I hated it.
Last night I cracked the Little Book Chapter 3. It's so different from the first bottle I owned, which was awful, straight black pepper. I don't know if "bad" or tainted bottles are a thing, but the difference is night and day. I'll revisit in 3 weeks like I do with Booker's.

I'm nuts for the place

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Well, being a somewhat recent drinker of bourbon, I saw some bottles in my trip to Long Island that I just can’t seem to get in Reno. Probably not the greatest place to buy something cheap though
Well, to a new experience.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
It's been years since I've seen a bottle of E.H. Taylor around here.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice pickups, Dave. I like everything EH Taylor.
I'm curious to hear what you think of the OF 1924, haven't seen that one around yet.

Is it bad every time now I see the letters “OF” I think OnlyFans?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I would love to try that Old Forrester 1924. I've seen it around a couple times here in MN but couldn't pull the trigger.
