    Yeah I switch between that, Pappy 15, and Bookers Rye on most knights. 

    So, you are saying its a middle of the road sipper, borderline mixer?

  2. Made Alton Brown's Aged Egg Nog last Jan.

    I used Bourbon in it, so it should qualify.

    Broke it out today instead of pie, for dessert.

    Most excellent.

    Follow up pour is a '18 WLW.

    Also most excellent

    Not to be outdone by @henrygandorf, I'm picking up an Elijah Craig 18 and the 2020 Parker's Heritage release this evening. 

    I'm kind of excited about the Parker's Heritage, it's supposed to be fantastic this year and part of the proceeds go to ALS Research. 

    Had the Parker's Heritage 11 back in '17 ,and I remember it being quite good.

    I'll keep an eye out for the 2020,. Even if it underwhelms, contributing to a good cause will take out some of the sting.

    This last week, an EHT Rye, a WLW and an OFBB came to finish out the last few months of their rather longish lives at my house.

    Disappointed that I didn't get a GTS this fall, but I really can't complain with a straight face.

    I don’t think there’s been an EHT Rye release this year. I haven’t seen it anywhere on social media and there are only two entries on Wine Searcher.
     

    Im guessing here, but maybe Buffalo Trace ran out of that good Barton juice and just skipped a year. 

    I got EHT Rye last Thurs in Okla, so I don't think they skipped a year.

    Stuff has come at odd times this year. 

    MWND, and W12 also came the same day

  5. Anyone tried the recent Michters 10 release?

    i’ve got one available for 126+, but the last couple of bottles were just ok, compared to 2-3ish years ago.

    $1k no. $700-$750 yes. It’s trading for WLW or two GTS. 3 weeks ago it was going for $350-ish. I really really really hate the secondary bourbon market.

    I've never sold a bottle, but I would definitely trade a unopened 4 grain for a WLW, or 2 GTS.

     

  7. I'm hoping for something in the $80 range.

    Hard to spend more, when my regular connection keeps me in all my favorites below retail.

     

    Glad the recs worked for you.

    Cant seem to get downtown without making a stop in both places.

    Freaking Terrific. Why?

    Daughter works for a wholesale wine distributor.

    One of her customers has one set back for me.

    Curious about a fair price.

    My normal connection through her has always been at MSRP for everything,  but this is a new connection.

    my source has a bottle of parkers heritage 11 with my name on it.
    anyone have strong opinions, either way?

    I wouldn't say strong, but it is very nice and the bottle is cool. If buying it doesn't make you sweat, get it as a nice addition to your bar.

    At 135. I think Ill pull the trigger
