  1. I get some decent stuff there sometimes, but they also like to recommend Broken Saddle and stupid shit like that.
  2. Redemption Wheated 4R Small Batch Select Elijah Craig Small Batch Store Pick Pikesville Rye Russell’s Reserve Store Pick John Bowman Single Barrel JD Single Barrel Proof OF 1920 Knob Creek 12 *EH Taylor Small Batch *slightly hard to find at the 10th spot, but you should be able to ask around and find one.
  3. Only had to try two Spec’s to grab a backup.
  4. It has sold out everywhere instantly and/or didn’t hit front shelves unlike the rest of the the Woodford Master’s series. Secondary was over $250 but settling in the low $200s. It’s really good and tastes like there’s plenty of 17 y/o in the blend. I tried it with WT Diamond and Michter’s 10 (‘18) and it topped both. It probably couldn’t hang with WT 17 Bottled in Bond but it doesn’t suck at all for $119.
  5. If you get the call on the Woodford your answer should be yes. It’s better than ‘18 M10 bourbon and absolutely blew WT Diamond away. It would probably get abused by Boone County 12 or Lot B in a real 90 proof showdown, but it’s very good.
  6. That Dr Pepper competition makes me miss Leinart.
  7. St.-Brown abused that corner.
  8. Crack that Grand Cru and tell us how it is. And yes, trading up is always a good trade.
  9. The SH14 was cheaper at my Spec’s and I think I got the general idea of what small batch 14 year Barton tastes like so I didn’t bother grabbing a Calumet. The SH14 was a great value this summer in age stated tater bourbon.
  10. I cracked the Woodford Master’s Batch 16 last night and have to admit it’s pretty damn good. Right down the fairway of sweet, oaky bourbon even if it’s pretty low proof. I’ll do a side by side with a couple other similar options like WT Diamond and W12 and see what comes out on top. It’s a buy if $119 doesn’t matter to you and you want to try it. Oh, and the weird neck poured well and the giant stopper isn’t actually that big.
  11. Yeah, thousands of people know about Oak Liquor Cabinet and call him relentlessly about Blanton’s.
  12. Toasted isn’t really very good. I traded two away for other bottles after opening one. B520 is supposed to be great, tho. Crack that and try it with another ECBP if you have one. I’ve only seen them in co-packs at Twin and I’ll be damned if I’m choking down a White Walker to get a B520.
  13. Ha, oh God. Help.
  14. Slovis and the best WR group in America finally woke up.
  15. Thanks for the review timeout.
  16. If we somehow pull this off it’s going to be one of those wins that feels like losing.
  17. We look very Clay Helton.
  18. Dripping Springs kid with the TD.
  19. Picked up one of these today and it’s actually not age stated. Apparently it contains the 17 yr but is blended with lower age product. Not sure why people can’t figure out how to do special releases just a bit better.
  20. Daaaamn. What do you get for being his spiritual guide?

  22. I’ve made some old fashioneds with Stagg Jr and they went hard. Kinda tempted to crack my Handy and make a bougie AF Sazerac Sazerac.
  23. And 1 and 4. 1 is just completely unmemorable. Somebody could refill my chapter 1 with Knob 12 and I wouldn’t notice. I recall it being generically Bourbon-ish despite having some fairly oddball components in the blend.
  24. This is my favorite book.
  25. I can get behind this hyping of cheap Barton handles. Y’all need to snap this stuff up!
