Was at the store this morning to refill my gin and got a bottle of Heaven Hill grain to glass. It was crazy expensive but decided to give it a go. Has a pretty high rye content so I wonder I'll like it.

Just opened an Elijah Craig BP B525 last night. Had heard really good things and was rewarded with an exceptional pour. One of the best ECPB I have ever had. If you have the chance and enjoy high proof older juice grab one. Great bottle!
There's been so many EC barrel proof picks in my area in the past few years that I can't remember the last time I bought one of the regular releases. I think I have like six of them open right now, lol.
317 on ignore and counting. Maybe you'll be next!
Finished off the tail end of a 1792 Full Proof over the weekend. 125 Proof and as heavy-bodied as I can ever remember drinking.
Sweet find today!
Nice find!!
Hell yes!
Yeah, pretty darn awesome.
317 on ignore and counting. Maybe you'll be next!

Cheers! I may crack it this weekend, not sure yet.
Opened an Elijah Craig single barrel for the game last night. Not a barrel proof one, just a 9 year private pick I picked up, can't go too heavy on a Thursday night. It was pretty good.

Our local store had that too and buying a bottle got you entered to win the barrell. Me and my brother sipped on it and I was shocked how good it was! I like EC small batch well enough and I thought the flavor would be similar but this packed even more of a punch.

If anyone finds themselves in Lexington, KY, you should check out Town Branch distillery. It's a small operation but they have several good offerings...some of them you can only get at the distillery.
Let's go Pack!
Had some Maker's last night, will continue with it later today.

Im visiting Raleigh soon and am hoping to find a bottle. I found a link online to try and see where there stocked but unfortunately it didnt work. Are they readily available to buy at ABC stores?

All I can tell you is they had a pretty good supply at the ABC on US1 in Youngsville.

My work used to take me by that ABC store, they seemed to be very well stocked with a nice variety of bourbon.
Touring Williamsburg, my hotel is next door to the Copper Fox distillery. Picked up their Original Rye and their Dawson's Reserve bourbon. The distiller told me he uniquely toasts his stuff with fruitwood (either apple or peach) then ages in different barrels depending on the blend specified.

They weren't exactly first in line to snag Savage Rye, I had to wait awhile. I hope it really benefits the collective, given what my spouse would say about how much I spend on it, ha ha.

I've heard that from a couple of folks here about that. And yes, I spend more than I should....lol
Just made a Buffalo Trace drink, will probably have a few more.

that's actually where we are going (Buffalo Trace)!
Did the Bourbon Trail a few years back they were all good but IMO Makers and Woodford were the best.
I've never gone wrong with Makers.
