It was at a friends house so the background was some of his stuff. The Pappy 15 was his bottle he had won at a raffle. He told a few of us that he would open it instead of selling it if each of us brought a rare bottle to open with it.Very Nice assortment! Looks like Old Fitz was Popular.

That is a very good selection! Is that a walk in bar/restraunt down there?Went to a wedding last night in Covington, Kentucky at the Hotel Covington. Bourbon selection was outstanding.

Most prices were reasonable, but I didn't pony up for the Pappy 23 Yr. I did finally get to try E.H. Taylor Single Barrel ($25). It was really good.
The only rare bottle I’d drop a lot of cash to try is the William Larue Weller. I’ve read enough rave reviews about it to think there’s something to the hype. I’ve read a lot of reviews saying Pappy is not what they thought after all the hype. A lot of “good at MSRP but wouldn’t pay more.” It’s all subjective, but that’s the one I’ll always hunt.Went to a wedding last night in Covington, Kentucky at the Hotel Covington.

I gonna have to find an excuse to stay in cincy soon for a weekend.....It is the hotel bar in the lobby at the Hotel Covington.
I had a glass of Blade and bow last weekend and son brought over this.. not a huge scotch fan but this was good. No idea what it costs. Going to get a bottle though. Irish whiskey is to help finish the laundry room floor next weekendA buddy of mine and I just shared a cigar and a glass of Blade & Bow tonight. Definitely an extremely good bourbon at a fair price.

Maybe my Kroger is too small, but I haven’t seen those. Also, I hate you for leaving that bottle of Stagg at the edge of the shot.Well Kroger has another great barrel pick out if you see it snag it for 54 bucks. As im not a fan of Jeffersons at all I have not had a bad Kroger pick to date lol. This one is pretty good as well. Really taste rye forward (slight bite at the start) lots of honey, nutmeg, and small amounts of toasted marshmallow is how I taste it a ton of sweet honey on the nose for sure. Reminds me of 1792 BIB. Im not sure who picks the kroger selects but they are good at there job.

They seem to pop up here in Frankin and Center Grove Kroger all the time not sure why really? That Stagg is my prized open bottle lol damn things went up 500 bucks on the secondary market overnight after news broke there is no 2021 George T Stagg release from Buffalo Trace this year.Maybe my Kroger is too small, but I haven’t seen those.

Ya got my attention when ya compared it to 1792 BIB. I picked up a 21st Amendment store pick of it a couple months back and really enjoyed it.Well Kroger has another great barrel pick out if you see it snag it for 54 bucks.

They also had a New Riff Pick but those seem to be so hit and miss I passed on it.Ya got my attention when ya compared it to 1792 BIB. I picked up a 21st Amendment store pick of it a couple months back and really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the review, I'll stop by the Fishers Kroger after work tomorrow.
Of all the Weller line, my favorite is 107. If I could only find a bottle in real life!
