Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.

Select maybe 5-7 to taste over the course of an evening and we can all meet at Bourbon and Bones in Old Town or a similar place and do a tasting with your narration.
Thoughts?
You're giving me way too much credit. I just like bourbon.
Maybe after we get through the holidays I can get out on a Saturday and join you guys somewhere. Work has been hellish lately so sometime in January will likely be best. [Reply]

I later tried a pour of it somewhere and was glad I passed. It was solid - just not worth over $100 to me.
Scored a bottle of ORVW through a friend in Phoenix this morning - for RETAIL at Costco. According to his guy only Lexington and Phoenix got 10 bottles each. He’s not a big bourbon guy (scotch drinker), but I’m giving him a nice finders fee.

That would be good.
Hopefully by then eDave will be back from being MIA or else we may need to send out the Batsignal. [Reply]

Look at this receipt.
I've seen sweet deals at Costco but never like that. I picked up the Makers Generations of Proof gift box that Lew mentioned earlier in this thread. It's well worth the $70 price. The private selection bottle in that set is my favorite one.
On the scotch side, I saw a box that had a bottle of Glenfiddich 14 year bourbon barrel and a bottle of Glenfiddich 15 year solera for $70. I should have bought it but I was too budy stocking up on Lagavulin 16 for $65. [Reply]
The rest of us (just me) have a case of Eagle Rare in the cabinet and still stoop to trying $17.99 handle bottles of early Buffalo Trace made swill from Walmart under the name of Stedman's Select 3yr 86 proof. a bit of burn but light sour mash set in slightly charred oak.

Are you seriously humble bragging about a box of Eagle Rare? And not only that but then backing it up by humble bragging about drinking 3 year old rotgut that's being sold off by Sazerac for being off-profile and not making the cut for Buffalo Trace?

I'm confused.
Nothing to be confused about, he's an annoying shithead plaguing this board. He and Ubeja are closely related [Reply]
