Sipping on some Blade & Bow tonight after work. For $45-50 it's a nice pour....good taste and smooth. Recommend it...Go Noles!
Probably went a little crazy this week. Oh well...tis’ the season.
Hadn’t seen a Sazerac Rye pick. At $19.99 I said screw it & bought a case. 😉

Stag. $450 & Stag Jr. 399
Old Fitzgerald - $169.99
Col Taylor - $129.99
WL Weller: $199
Weller COYPD - $599.99
Not all of it, but the baby Saz & the 2 BT picks came from there.
Those are prices I've seen and it was everywhere I went. Threw in the towel and went home empty handed.
Anybody try Basil Hayden? Just heard I was getting a bottle for Christmas. Never tried it before.
Another week of buying too much. 😆
Can’t pass up FR barrel strength picks anymore when you find them. 2 bottle limit on each recipe, so of course I had to take advantage. 😉
That Old Elk is a wheated bourbon just under 6 years. Cracked it last night & really enjoyed it.

I bought my first bottle of FR small batch this week and really enjoyed it. How does it compare to the single barrel that you have there?
The difference is that Small Batch is a blend of their recipes & set at a specific standard 90 proof.
Single barrel store picks are from a single recipe & barrel. (1 of 10 recipes possible) They vary on proof as well since they’re barrel strength, which is going to be much higher than small batch. This all depends on how old they are & where they were placed in the Rickhouse, etc.
You can however find single barrels at 100 proof as well. Just depends on what the store selected.
I know it’s complicated... To answer the first part as to the comparisons...they really don’t compare. 😆

Got it and thanks. I think they may have had a bottle on the shelf when I picked the small batch.
It's definitely hard to do here in a controlled state, so i've been traveling over to Tennessee and building relationships.
I live in one as well. I buy 99% of my bourbon in neighboring states because of that same issue.
Anybody tried the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked? Is it worth $50 a bottle
I think it’s around $130-$140 msrp. It drinks a little hot due to it being almost 124 proof, but I really like it.
Just curious if you ever drink Scotch Whiskey. I drink mostly bourbon myself but there are some Scotch's I really like. Tonight I am drinking Bowmore 15. It is one of my favorites.
I dabble in some Speyside’s & Highlands. Mostly cask strength stuff. I also enjoy some cask strength Rums as well. I don’t drink them near as much as their corn cousin, but I get an itch for them here & there.
Very cool story, but they’re sourcing & currently contract distilling their whiskey from Dickel from what we suspect. It just depends on if you enjoy that sugar maple charcoal filtered Lincoln County style profile you get from Dickel & Jack Daniels. Personally I think it’s priced a little high for what you get, but it’s not bad juice if you enjoy those two I mentioned.
Thanks. I thought the story was interesting also I’ll give it a shot one day
I had a chance to buy a bottle for 300 I thought it was overpriced. I've never heard of it
