I enjoyed a couple Bourbons from my collection this weekend: Bib & Tucker 6 Year small batch and the Woodford Reserve Sherry Cask-finished.
I just picked up a bottle of Whistle Pig Old World Cask Finish rye that I'm looking forward to breaking out this weekend. Whistle Pig 10 Year Straight Rye is my typical go-to rye whiskey. |

I tried this Nikka Coffee Grain whiskey with some friends two weekends ago, and it was delicious. Obviously, it's a bit out in left field, but I like that the Japanese are willing to try these things that other distillers probably frown upon. It was enjoyable, to me.

Looks similar to my cabinet... Blantons is a great bourbon, I've got a new bottle sitting, waiting to be opened, and I have that Bulleit Barrel Strength, as well. That'll burn the hair off your tongue, for sure. Old Forester Prohibition-style whiskey is one of my favorites, as well, maybe I need to try some of the rest of their selections.

Kram, sorry still new here so can't quote directly due to post count but yes I did. I went thru the entire thread and happy to discover other people with like interests as me
I like discussing whiskey in general so I asked that question to get some conversation going plus also potentially discover new whiskey I may not know of that other members have tried or suggest such as the Weller 12 you and the other member mentioned. It looked interesting so after doing some reading last night now I'm on the hunt for a bottle or two, only to find NYC stores ridiculous markups of 250-500 per bottle Have tried many more not currently on the list but my current cabinet consists of the following Glenfiddich 21yrs Glenfiddich Experimental Batch #01 Glenfiddich Experimental Batch #02 Glenfiddich Experimental Batch #03 Glenfiddich Experimental Batch #04 Syndicate 58/6 Lagavulin 16yrs Laphroaig 10yrs Bowmore 15yrs Darkest Ardbeg 10yrs Hudson Baby Bourbon Whiskey Monkey Shoulder Macallan 12yrs Double Cask |

ashbaug2, how did you like the Woodford Reserve Sherry Cask? I always tell myself I'm going to pick up a bottle then every time I go to the store I end up getting side tracked and buying something else

It's getting close to Pappy time. I'm curious how many bottles my "guy" will hold for me. Picked up some Blantons the other day. Looking forward to the Jack Daniels Heritage edition.

Rolex addict, you're a lucky man that's a great choice enjoy
I've been on the hunt for a pappy for a longggg time but unless you know a "guy" to hook you up it's almost impossible to get or pay a ridiculous mark up. Two months ago I stumbled upon a liquor store in the city who actually had one in stock so imagine my excitement until I looked at the price tag 4,999 I laughed and walked out. |

Interesting. I enjoy Blantons. Have not had Pappy and I'd much rather chase vintage watches and Super NE IPAs then PVW

Like all fine alcohol and wine, there are diminishing returns after the price hits a certain point. For me personally, that price is about $400 or so and once I know what the true retail price of a bottle is, I just don’t like paying stupid markups. I’ve got a lead on a 2 bottle PVW allocation, but it will depend on the year and asking price.

I want to qualify my post above regarding old forester. I was referring to the regular stuff and not the 12 year they just released.

Just finished reading thru the whole JD thread and very cool thread . Sounds like you had a great experience and something I would do with my friends as well at some point in time. Yeah I heard that about pappy as well from other people although I personally never tried it but for me I sorta have two collections. One with different kinds of whiskeys I keep in rotation to drink and the other of cool, interesting, rare bottles I just collect (pappy fits in the later, to have in my collection as a collector and not really drink ) maybe one day i'll get my hands on one. BTW question for you if you have any experience with it? I was reading online on whiskey blogs how they were calling Weller 12 a "poor mans pappy" in terms of price lol but saying it's the closest things to tasting like pappy but I take all things on the internet with a grain of salt... any words of wisdom?

BTW I responded to your other post but don't see my reply. Yes I read thru the whole thread, I just like discussing whiskey in general and discovering/learning about new whiskeys I might not know about hence my question |

So sorry, didn’t mean to come off as a turd. There’s just a lot of content here. If you can find weller close to retail, stock up. I notice that when I travel to my Houston home, the special reserve is abundant and cheap. Antique and the 12 are a little harder to source There is also a new people’s choice out, but I’ve yet to find a bottle. |

I don't see the Sherry Cask finished around anymore, I think there's a new Brandy Cask finished that's available, but I haven't picked that one up. |

So what you think guys, the unopened 2013 20yr old Pappy in my safe should I open and drink or sell it?? I’ve been waiting for that real special occasion but just seems like it hasn’t come.

Totally understand what you’re saying and the analogy. I do want to pick up a bottle one day just to try it for what it is and not compare it to pappy but even weller 12 in my area is marked up like crazy lol. Any other recommendations you have I’d love to hear it and discuss. I got your message too just a little hard to respond on the phone since I’m traveling for work and can’t get on a computer but will definitely hit you up Quote:

Cool thread. I do not drink but I have found some great information here to score some different varieties for friends and family to try. Dad loved the Buffalo Trace that was recommended here. Which lead me to other bottles from the same distillery which he has really enjoyed.

Great thread.
As my group of friends get older, we've been drinking lots of whisky and Scotch. This is what we put down on a typical birthday party I host at my house. |
