I'm not a fan of the shelf bottle I have, but I've heard some of those single barrels of the full proof can be delicious. Glad you got a good one

Very nice Steve!

Anyone have any experience with the Knob Creek Single Barrel bourbon (120 proof) store picks? There are a couple different ones at Binny's about 11 years old. I've heard great things about the 14 years old sps, but not much about the 11 years.

Default Re: The Bourbon Thread!!

Just picked one in KC here 2 weeks ago and tried it (1st time). I had a "couple" Oktoberfest beers before I tried it and I it was the most mint I had tasted out of a bourbon. Tried it again the next night and it was there but fainter but still there so maybe it was just me.

A couple weeks removed I will give it a go here again this week.

I know I am no help whatsoever.

Thanks Jay.

I was wrong, the Binny's ones were only 9 years. Had a gift card so grabbed one for free to give it a whirl. Picked the one with the fewest bottles left. Also grabbed the OFSBBS store pick for trade bait.

Nice snag on the OF. Local store got the first barrel in CO a few weeks back, I was watching the announcement and figured "that's a little pricey for a young bottle, I'll let everybody else have their fun" then immediately saw how much other people cared about it and wished I had grabbed one or two to pass along. FWIW I did have a pour from that bottle last weekend and it was pretty good, very easy to drink for a high proof, but it still seems expensive

The OFs are going for more than double what I paid on FB secondary groups, so I figured maybe I can get one of the '15 Booker's I need out of it. If not, I'll drink it. Had a pour last night and was pretty happy, that Beam peanut funk was front and center.

The OF i have had have been great. have a couple of the BP picks that are real solid. Everyone around me loves the 14-15yr KC SP. My guess is if you like bookers you will enjoy the KC SP also. I have also hear that the 14-15 year KC picks are going away/ pretty much done now.

I snagged a 15+ year old store pick for what I thought was a very reasonable price on a FB secondary group yesterday Andrew, so at least I'll get one before they go the way of the dinosaur.

Got a purty little trifecta of samples from Mr. Stearns today as well, a very nice surprise indeed.

I needed to pick up some daily sippers, went in torn between EC94 and WT101, both were on sale EC94 for $26 and WT101 $21 (PA prices) So I walked out with both!

Two winners for sure. I don't know how available picks are in PA, but a good EC store pick is as good as it gets for that price range, I usually keep a couple around

That's what I'm talking about. Take 'em both.

If you can grab another OF BS, let me know. Had a taste of one recently and really liked it.

I've been looking and I am guessing we are out of luck this go-round. That last one was the only one I saw after seeing how much resale/trade value it was bringing. Flipped that one for a 2015 Booker's batch I needed. But I have been, and will continue to look.

Always appreciated! Have you been able to try the bookers 30th? I have not but have heard good things. I kick myself for not buying one back when it was around 400.

I haven't tried any of the variations (30th, 25th, Rye, Noe Select), Dave, and at the current prices, probably won't unless it's a pour at a bar or a friend's place. One friend promised me a sample of the Rye when he opens it. I told him the way the price is skyrocketing, keep it sealed and we can sell it and have a Maker's Mark in Maui on his dime.
