Personally, i know a lot of folks that want to; but nobody that ever has. That bar & grill across the street from me charges $35 for a shot of Old Rip Van Winkle. I have 10 and 12 year on my shelf. I've have tasted 15yr, 20yr, and Van Winkle Reserve Rye. The only one I haven't tasted is 23 yr. I have a buddy that has a bottle of 23 but has not opened it, and I don't blame him. Anyway, the stuff is good, but not life changing. There are many better value whiskeys out there. Everyone just freaks out because it's so hard to get. Don't get me wrong, i'll buy every bottle I can that is not insanely marked up. I'm hoping to move up the Pappy food chain this Holiday season. I have a couple events coming up where they will be raffling the chance to buy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the Taylor single and small batch and personally, I don't thing the single is really that much different to justify the additional $30.00, but they are both good, if you can find them. @jwc did you crack the McKenna yet or is that party coming up. Would really like a side by side comparison, but then again, can't find the darn McKenna again either. Walked in to the local liquor store today and it took me all of 10 seconds to scan and start walking out and the clerk asked if they could help me...........I said yes, you could actually stock some decent bourbon once in a while and continued on my way. Guess it's going to be Bookers for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person that said this said that the first time he tasted Taylor Single, he hated it. Tried it again some time later and loved it. Seems to be that there wouldn’t be THAT huge of difference between barrels to go from hate it to love it. but, if there is variation, i got a good barrel because i love it.

If you can get the cheap version and try it side by side with the single barrel, that would be a worthy comparison. Back to the store. LOL I think we should have a gathering for audio and Bourbon in KY at some point in the future. My first experience on the bourbon trail was wonderful and I certainly learned a lot about the process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Enjoying something I haven't had before. Blantons barrel strength 129 proof. I did a bottle swap with another bourbonite and he brought me a sample. Wish I had a bottle of this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfbane Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 There is a store here that is local and claim to sell more than 850 different brands of whisky. I'll be checking it out for a friend later this week. Wb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo72 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 My haul from a whiskey fest over the weekend. I got to the store at 2:45 am and was 2nd inline for the 9 am event. Top 3 inline guaranteed I would get whatever I wanted based on bottle counts. They later had a lottery for the Pappys and BTAC along with other rare stuff. I got skunked in the lottery , but it was still a good day overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Nice score on the Elmer T Lee. That's the only one that I see that I have a hard time finding (haven't found yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, same here. The retailers here don't put the good stuff out on the shelves. They hoard it for their "best customers".......If you ask for something, they just look and laugh.

That's the only one that I see that I have a hard time finding (haven't found yet). If I could have only had 1 bottle, it would have been the ETL. That stuff is fantastic. I had a bottle previously. I brought it to my friends cabin and it was so good we drank it all that weekend. I have been on the hunt for a replacement ever since . This bottle will be savored!
