You try that ol rip in the squat bottle up front in your picture? I'm not 100% certain but that's probably a wee bit older and likely very delicious stuff.

You are correct. That's an older style bottle of ORVW 10. To be honest it didn't really stand out from the others. It was amazing but there were some really special bourbons there at had alot of wow factor. Following the WLW up with ORVW 10 probably didn't do it any justice either. There are alot of others that we sampled that arent pictured there. We had anywhere between 12-15 different pours.

My personal fave was the Thomas Handy BTAC. I was really let down by the Eagle Rare 17 BTAC (it was a unicorn for me and probably overhyped).

That is a fire in a bottle.

Haha this was the '18 edition and didn't seem too bad.

My vote on BTAC was Handy, WLW, Stagg, ER (with 2 and 3 easily interchangeable)
My buddy voted Stagg, WLW, Handy, ER. (with 2 and 3 neck and neck)

Bookers 30 was very sweet (too much for my liking). I preferred the OF birthday bourbon to the Bookers.

Handy is the best I've had. But I haven't had most of the highest end Bourbons. Have 2 unopened bottles saved for special celebrations. But I was gifted those, I would never pay for these high dollar bottles.

I'm just pissed that all this chaos makes it so hard to find affordable Eagle Rare. I'm perfectly content paying for that quality.

Dude I can get ER at $35 all day. Maybe I can ship a few.. but it may make it a bit cost prohibitive.

I just went back to my local store Bevy's on Sunday and saw they still have their ER barrel picks sitting on the shelf.. the ones that I posted on here back on 1/24 and claimed they would sit for a few weeks.

You collect those on distillery tours. With the exception of Wes Henderson when I met him.

May be open to a trade, but in general, still in an acquisition mode for a happy retirement.

What kind of trades for those WFE or THH?


I don't know. Those are my favorites. I don't even think I can procure the WFE even from Drew anymore since they kick-started their own distillery.

I would trade 1 of the 25 yr WFE, but it is equivalent to Pappy.

Tempting. I've got a bunch of Stitzel-Weller Pappy.

Pre fire Heaven Hill, right?

Wish these were Bernheim wheaters.

How would one run across a bottle that was released thirty years or so ago without using a secondary market?

Of course this happens when I'm out of town on business!
