And cask strengths, that are not barrel proof.

Examples of these?

I will get to it when I can. Barrel Proof is a ATF legal term like bottled in bond. Barrel proof means the bourbon in the bottle is the same proof as when it was barreled. Quite a few go up in proof as they age in the barrel, so some are left that way on purpose as a cask strength or barrel strength, though they no longer meet the legal definition of barrel proof.

Clear as unfiltered bourbon? If I've got it wrong, call me out on it, because I'd like to get this right in my own head.

If you are a large distiller, cranking out batch after batch of sour mash whiskey, like most do; and then you run a batch with a brand new sweet mash, that is just one example of what they might label as "Small Batch." Or it could be sold as some sort of "Limited Release" like Woodford does each year. Just depends how they want to market it, I suppose.

---

That's true, That's one instance where a distiller might label a product Small Batch, but it would because of the size of the batch, and there would be no reason to presume the batch is sweet mash just because it's small. The vast majority of Small Batch labeled bourbons are sour mash.

The hell do you bake with coriander in it?

---

Corriander has a slightly tart lemon/lime taste. It's usually paired with Asian, Indian, South American, and Caribbean dishes. I use it in lemon cakes and lemon bars to give a bit of an earthiness to balance out the sweetness. I also use it with all the other baking spices in Wassail, mulled wine, and some cocktails.

FYI - Barrel entry proof is the same as full proof

Interesting. I use nutmeg in those.

Can someone fill me in on this? 1 per customer caught my attention.

Last release was MGP and supposed to be good. Buy it. Come back and buy the other for me if in DFW

Barrel proof MGP?

And I hate seeing anyone "rate" a single barrel, i.e., McKenna 10 year.

Yes, got this today. Good day indeed.

Well this looks familiar! Enjoy.

Is the Smoke Wagon straight burbon hard to find? Saw a couple bottles at Specs and bought one just because I've seen the name on here a few times and I don't know that I've ever seen it on a shelf before.

Their straight Bourbon Whiskey is really good. Can't beat the $28 price tag. It's not on the shelves very long. Had it for a few hours at my Specs yesterday.

Grabbed these this week. Opened up the smoke wagon and enjoying it. Found all these on the way back from Arkansas. Was hoping to find some old dusties. Came across some great bottles at terrible prices.

---

Every one of those bottles is freaking wonderful. And the 3 on the right are super hard to find on a shelf.

Not in Arkansas apparently

While true, unless that EC still says 12 years in the paragraph on the back it's no different than the current bottling.

Unfortunately it's just the regular small batch (I think around 8 years). I grabbed it because it's a 1.75 and old label. Super dusty bottle and kind of a cool find. All those bottles were purchased at retail. Passed on tons of stuff like BTAC, ec18, etc. found but all at secondary or higher.

I hear that, I bought a 750 in college station for the same reason a few years back.

Did end up finding up a few handles with the big red 12 in BFE Mississippi that I'm almost done with.

I'm curious if anyone here has tried Grayson whiskey yet? I know it just started hitting shelves the last week or two but not in Houston yet.

Grayson Texas Blended Bourbon Whiskey

Nice!

While I think the Smoke is the bottle with the most pizzaz of all 4, I find the K12 to be the best to my taste buds.

6 days, 8 bottles. Time to take a break from trading, as fun as it is for me, and enjoy what's in front of me.

Order of drinking?! I can do that. I'm going to open one of the 2020GTS on my daughters second birthday in May. I was gone for a year, missed her 1st birthday last year due to Covid and a DoD international travel ban. The year 2020 has a deeper meaning to our family.

I bought a bottle so you *******s didn't have to!

Nose: sweet, corn and grain, a little nutty
Mouth: oak, leathery syrup and very light texture
Finish: dry bananas

Extremely light and underwhelming. Great for entertaining guests that don't drink bourbon and simply saying this is Peyton Manning's bourbon. If I'm seeing you soon, I can pour out a sample for you to taste. Hit me up offline.

"Manning and Roddick, admittedly not bourbon experts, think Eaves' expertise is the reason Sweetens Cove Bourbon is worth the $200 price tag. Their celebrity surely lends credibility, too."

Ya'll let me know how it is....

I grabbed a bottle at the distillery. It's mighty fine. Personally, I cannot taste Harbinger, Lone Elm, or Balcones in it at all, which I think is pretty cool.

Couldn't get a bite on your trade offer for a PVW 23?

---

Yeah. Very surprised. The guy at Specs said it was highly allocated and the Pappy Van Winkle of Tennessee. Said if I didn't buy it now I would regret it. He did hook me up with a case of Walking Stick because I was his favorite customer.

I would have taken the offer for one Omaha and a sports clap, and not deleted the post. Some good responses on there

I'd trade you a 2020 ofbb for one of those GTS 2020. opening up a birthday bourbon would be better. Pokerface
