Doesn't look like ya took it easy on that OF SB BS. Stopped into the OF distillary in Louisville a couple months back, they were a bit jealous that you had two bottles of it and they had none, lol.
What's your overall opinion on that bottle Sparky?

Kroger is Giving 30% off Spirits if you buy 6 mix or match allowed
offer good Oct 29th and 30th

My honest thought after a couple months of being opened and a 2oz pour of it about once a week is many better barrel proof bourbons are out there. Dont get me wrong its good at MSRP but not at the current secondary market of 150-175 bucks. Elijah Craig BP, Stagg Jr, and Jack Daniels BP are much better. It drinks really hot still like crazy chest burn hot. I really thought it would settle down on the heat after 2 months but is still hot as ****.

If it tells you anything the other bottle I had Ive traded for a Blantons Store pick.

It took me a while but the 1792 collection is almost complete with a Sweet Wheat snag. Still missing Port Finished and 225th anniversary but those are near impossible for me to get even on Facebook bourbon pages at a decent price...... I really have a collecting problem.

 

[Ballstater98]

I can't remember what I paid for it, but it was under $50. If 1792 had more spice, this is what it tastes like. I find it lacking in notes. FWIW it's OK, and I probably won't consider buying another bottle.

Went back to give this another go..., confirmed, spend your hard earned money elsewhere IMHO.

Picked up a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 Rye. It's fairly hot until you add a cube or two and then it is quite nice.

That's my bottle of choice for mixed drinks, usually whiskey sour, it holds up well and the rye spice balances well with the sweetness.

Just left McCordsville Meijers and there was several bottles of Remus in stock.
There wasn't a price on it so your guess is good as mine, bet it wont last long.

It was 54.99, and they still had quite a few bottles when I picked one up yesterday.

FEW brand coffee infused bourbon tonight. Pretty good stuff.

Picture just for fun.

If your a Beam fan as I am Knob Creek is releasing an 18 year bottle in early 2022. Wish it was 120proof vs the 100 but whatever.

I know a lot of people including myself prefer the 12year over the 15year so this might be kind of interesting. Label is the same color as 15 year to really confuse me.

I've rapidly become a Knob Creek fan, thanks for the info.
I'm still in search of a 15 and will definitely keep my eyes peeled for the 18.
I'm quite sure your bloodhound skills will have you posting a pic of it real soon.........................and I'll be pestering you for a review soon after.
Cheers and good luck bottle hunting Spark.

I imagine this bottle might be an Oak Bomb tho. Im gonna talk to my girl at the store I frequent on the southside if she has an eta on these. (As of late she always has been dropping me hints when stuff is rollin in as I stop once a week to check of anything new is there.) They always get a lot of KC picks and seem to always have more than any other store ive visited.

I don't know how far you are willing to drive but there is a store in connersville called Lindy's liquor that has 2 of the 15 year bottles

May want to call ahead to be sure it was Friday when I was in there. And no problem happy to help another whiskey hunter.

 

[jerrob]

I know there's a funny pic thread, but I don't feel like the responsible drinkers over there get OUR sense of humor, lol.

Cheers!

It’s 4pm, man, what happened with the KC15??

It’s 4pm, man, what happened with the KC15??

Monday after work, if it's still there. Spent today re-organizing the freezers so they could hold the venison.
Had to pull out some old stock (WR Double Oaked) and make due. I wouldn't have cracked open that KC15 anyway, that's retirement juice for next month.
