Never tried any of the Old Forrester. Anyone have any opinions on the 1870 or 1920?

Quoting for the new page.

well, the 2016 will be opened when my daughter is 21, it will be MUCH more dusty then. and even if you just procured it, the appreciation is still there!

i also still have a 2015 that i havent opened yet. no idea if/when i will.

---

I'm assuming you haven't tried it anywhere yet. I'll let you have a pour/sample of my 2015. Had a couple pours out of it but haven't gone back to it in several months. It isn't bad. I just prefer so many other bottles over it. You can figure out if you want to open it after tasting it.

I had a pour of 1920 out of a bottle AlaskanAg had one Saturday morning a few months ago. It hit my palate well so I highly recommend it if you see it on a shelf at a reasonable price. Haven't tried the 1870.

Saw one of each on the shelf for retail, I'll pick one of each tomorrow and report back.

Eagle Rare 10 and a 4R store pick were tonight's menu.

I really like the 1920 and recently bought one for a client who was getting into bourbon. He text me yesterday to tell me he had his first drink and appreciated me picking it out for him.

On another note, I picked up a 1792 Full Proof WB Liquors store pick this week and it's some good juice for the price.

I finally found a ECBP in the wild. 136.

That's all I've seen of any note in months.

But how about at 136 proof?

Yes, 136 proof for $62 I think.

Bought some 1920 today at Spec's. very smooth pour. Could get into trouble drinking it.

Is 40 creek double barrel reserve with a buy if it's on the shelf?

Also, how good is garrison brothers? $65 good?

No and no.

Just saw Evan Williams Single Barrell for $20. My $20 bourbon is Eagle Rare. Discuss. Not much out there today so picked up a Walking Stick and Four Roses Single Barrell to replenish the stock.

I've heard mixed reviews on it. Please post your thoughts

On the Elliot's Select. Curiosity forced me to open it tonight. Two ways of looking at it. Is it good juice? Yes. It is a 14 years in the barrel OESK recipe. If you like OESK (and I do), you'll like this. But is it any better than a normal store pick OESK that is much easier to obtain and much cheaper? I can't honestly say that it is. So bottom line for me - good juice, poor value if that makes any sense. Much more of a marketing gimmick than anything else I would say. I much prefer their 2014 small batch limited edition. Comparing them because of their similar secondary values.

For those in the DFW area, Taverna Rossa in Southlake has a very good bourbon selection. The wife and I went last night, and they had the following:
ORVW 10, Lot B, Thomas Handy, William Larue Weller, Black Maple Hill, Midwinter Nights Dram, Parker's Heritage 24, Elijah Craig 18, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, Stagg Jr., EH Taylor Seasoned Wood, and the White whale itself, Booker's Rye.

I ended up going with the Seasoned Wood. $25 for a 2 oz. pour. I liked it a lot. I poured a glass of single barrel when I got home to conpare, and the seasoned wood was noticeably better.

Booker's Rye was $88. I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on it. Ryes aren't really my wheelhouse, and I just don't want to buy into the hype. I can't justify spending that much for one pour, when I can get an entire bottle of something good for the same price. Even worse, if it lived up to the hype, I'd just be pissed that I'll never be able to afford it.

Any Idea how much wlw, lot b, or orvw were?

I asked about WLW a year-ish ago and I believe it was $56. For reference, I was there on Thurs, and the EC18 was on the bourbon menu for $33 ... I figure the WLW and Winkles are likely still in that $50+ range. Opted for a couple pints of Revolver instead. And I was surprised to see the Bookers Rye on the shelf but was too afraid to ask the price ... I figured it would have given me a heart attack.

They've got great pizza too IMO.

Not sure on the WLW. I believe Handy was $40-45, so that's probably a decent reference point. $25-30 is pretty much where I draw the line. I asked on the Booker's Rye out of sheer curiosity, and I honestly was expecting $100+.

I chatted with the managing partner for a few minutes, and she said they had a Knob Creek pick that they just sold out of, and that she also just talked to Whistlepig about a private barrel. I really wanted some Stagg, but it was gone already.

Garrison Brothers is quite possibly the worst thing I've ever drank. Just go get a can of corn, open it up, drain the juice and drink that juice. Cheaper and it'll taste better. But to each their own....

---

I got the same thing out of the GB pours that I've had. Not sure if it's just the shear lack of age or if it's the mashbill. Does anyone know if they have plans for leaving some barrels to age longer? If they do leave some barrels to age, I hate to see the price tag on that offering.

Picked up the OF1920 yesterday as I mentioned. Very good, definitely doesn't feel like 115 proof, could get you in trouble pretty quickly. Nose is definitely a bit sweeter/fruity, then the oak hits you on the drink and it mellows out a bit. Will definitely drink again.

I also picked up a bottle of Rowan's Creek because I'd never had it. Will open it today, any reviews?

Thanks. Same here. The day I found WLW for $20 a pour I should have bought all 4 ounces left instead of just one.

Just bought a Whistlepig Boss Hog. 2 more there. Also had 4 bottles of Willett Rye. Much more reasonable in price. Got one of those too. Anybody tried the Boss Hog?
