Johnny - I would have done the same with the Woodford dub dub. They are sitting on shelves here in Oregon at $200. They are not everywhere, but they are available.

I have not tried it and I'm sure it is delicious, but at more than 3X the cost of a double oak it is hard to justify. Youtube reviews seem to follow the same logic.

Grabbed a W 107 last Thursday for $59, because I just can't pass it up when I see it.

Cheers~

No Eagle 12 ?

Grabbed a 107 yesterday - Birthday bottle

Cheers~

I’m in another “Whiskey is Neat” social group and they are coordinating a Woodford Reserve Double Oaked barrel purchase. I’m in for 2 bottles and will report back when received.

1792 BiB, DSP 12, Spec's store pick. Pretty good. I used a little for peach cobbler. There was a smidgen of peanut but that is fading, thankfully.

Resurrecting old thread!

Any Christmas Cheer here?

I picked up a Barrel Batch 037 last week. It looks like a tasty blend and will be sampling soon.

Cheers~

Yeah, the Costco we frequent down in Fort Collins has had some nice bourbons lately, I picked up a Heaven Hill bottled in bond offering that’s nice, and also one of my favorites of all, Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel. I haven’t bought it in a long time because the price keeps climbing beyond what I like to spend. Truthfully, this was too high as well at $67, but it’s really good, and I thought I deserved a Christmas present.

Costco had Old Overholt 12yr rye so I grabbed a bottle. I like rye with some age and Costco pricing is about $20-$30 under elsewhere.

Rumor has it that the ANGELS ENVY TRIPLE OAKED is very smooth. At $60 it seems reasonable, but my wife was standing next to me

I bought a bottle of the triple oaked, very nice, nice and oaky

I've picked up a few store picks lately but nothing super hard to find. ECBP, a new MM Private Select, a Knob Creek Cask Strength store pick, and was gifted a bottle of Horse Soldier Barrel Strength.

I’ve likely missed mention of it in the thread, but has anyone here tried Baker's?

I bought a bottle for a friend last week. He was so excited about it, I was tempted to go get myself one. (No, he hasn’t shared yet. )

For Christmas Eve

Nice one Swede! That should be tasty.

Went into my local store to get some Five Farm's to gift to a friend. If you have not tried it and enjoy a little Irish Cream in your coffee it is pretty darn good.

Anyhow they had a store pick Blanton's for $79. I had to stare at a bit to realize one needed to be added to the bourbon cabinet. It is quite good with a lot of caramel notes up front and a soft finish.

Cheers~

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, friends and neighbors.

The Lovely Girlfriend bought me a bottle of Booker’s this week. I haven’t sampled it yet, but am very much looking forward to it.

Merry Christmas bourbon lovers. Sipped on some Antique 107 while smoking a Habano Montecristo this evening.

Merry Christmas to all.

I will be enjoying some Eagle Rare this evening, while smoking an Eagle Rare cigar my Daughter gave me last night.

Has anyone tried the Eagle Rare 12 yet?

Thx.

Tonight will be a 1792 Small Batch bourbon while the smoker is finishing the poultry for Christmas supper.

I gave my husband an Elmer T. Lee and an EH Taylor Single Barrel for Christmas.

Penelope is (re)releasing Havana soon and that's a bottle I want for myself. I'm a big fan of Penelope.

nothing new here (although I did pick up another bottle of A107) but had my BIL in town and when he told me a couple of bourbons he didn't like, and some he did, I decided to taste our way through the BT mashbills.
