Lets talk about Bourbon

[Wheel366]

Picked these up today. The last McKenzie single barrel I had was sooooooooo good. I'm hoping this is just as good.

The Blue Note Juke Joint Uncut is the third different barrel that I have bought. The first 2 were really good. Again, hope this continues.

I can't tell you when I'm gonna get a chance to open it. Trying to get through all my open bottles before I open anything else. And I got a LOT of open bottles. Plus, when I get to the Stagg, I think I am gonna start with Batch 14 and work my way forward from there.

Believe me, the suspense is killing me. I want to open everything I have!

Haven't had Larceny... Yet...

Picked these up today. The Booker's was a decent price. The Blanton's was NOT. Though, when I finally open it, I'll be able to say I've at least tried it. Actually bought 2 of the Booker's. One is a gift. On the hunt now for a 2024-03 and maybe a 2024-04.

I had to complete the 2024 collection. I have issues man... Still have 2 bottles of 2023 left; I don't have the whole 23 collection.

Slowly getting into Bourbon.

I agree with the keyboard warriors — Discovery 11 is almost as good as Russell Reserve 13 for 1/3 the cost.

My Bruichladdich Octomore 15 10yr distillery exclusive came in yesterday. Took about 3 weeks.

 

[The Critic]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a bottle of Russell's Reserve 13 without paying an obscene markup?

What's the going rate and what price are you looking for? I'm not familiar with it but I will keep my eyes open for it.

I think MSRP is $150 but availability is very scarce. I have seen sites listing it for >$300.

I just checked my normal places online and none have it. Well, caskers does but almost $400. Next time I am out, I will look at my local stores.

Broke down and bought one of these tonight.

I have a box full of Old Forester, that’s 18 years old and other Pappy Van winkle. Brother scouts the country looking for real bourbon. Some of what I have is with north of $2k

Me and brother ain’t into the newest fads or flavors of bourbon. Older stock is the best. I’m buying 4 more boxes of other bourbons. It’s nice to have $$$$
