$100 is what the barrel strengths sell for around here

Didn’t know 4R was starting to do regular single barrels other than the standard OBSV. I hope they continue putting out the remaining 7 recipes as core release single barrels. I’ll be all over that if my taste for bourbon returns…I love their single barrels!

I heard that’s the plan. All recipes, all single barrel, and all 100 proof

My favorite “shelf” pour of the year. I put shelf in quotes cause it’s not easily found on the shelf

Agreed. The week it came out, my local store didn't have a limit, so I bought two. After tasting it, I went back for more and they were out. Been on the lookout for more ever since. Snagged one more when I was on vacay in MO over Christmas. Would like a few more. Bottle #1 is gone, and #2 is about 1/3rd gone. I would make this the equivalent of my daily drinker bourbon if I could find enough of it.

Wasn’t planning on picking up more Bourbon, but just saw that Blanton’s Original Single Barrel is on sale here for $75 (normally well north of $100 a bottle), limit of 3 bottles.

I haven’t tried it yet personally - worth grabbing at that price?

I personally don’t care for Blantons but IF I could grab 3 at $75 which is retail here, I’d grab them.

You could easily sell one or all at cost to a friend(s) that likes it…OR…be a real good friend and give them to your bourbon drinking friends as birthday/Christmas gifts. Both of those options are usually what I do with Blantons and Eagle Rare when I find them at retail.

Your third option is to drink 1 or just eventually drink all 3

Good advice above. 3 for $75 each is an absolute no-brainer.

If it was me, I'd sell one at secondary, then one to a friend at cost to make back most or all of your cost. Then keep the third just to have it, even if you don't love it. It's a great bottle to get out when you have friends over who will be impressed by it. And it would be basically free.

Lax?

 

[krafticus]

Lax?

No. My local store (Allview). He got OESK, OESO, and 1 other. I could have gotten one of each, but he had limited quantities, so I let others have some. My barrel strength bottle is OESK, so I was good skipping that one.

They also had a barrel strength for like $105. I was like WTF???? Lol it's literally sitting next to the same bottle at half the price.

Cash game got snowed out tonight…so it’s time for a fire, watch some football and relax!

This one challenges the WT 70th for the best new value/shelf bottle from last year.

Haven't had this Peerless rye in ages.

 

[Klobberer]

Jim Beam Winter Reserve is on sale in PA for $16.99. It was fantastic at $24.99.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Pregame pour! She’s a little hot but, I’m slowly starting to re-adjust to higher proofs. This is fantastic!

Picked this one up tonight. 25yo Glen Rothes

Steelers suck ass…that is all

Yet another UNPREPARED Mike Tomlin playoff team. I’ll give credit to Baltimore because they’re a very good team, but c’mon…at least fucking show up.

 

[kirchhausen]

Thanks @krafticus for the generous pour.

 

[Highli99]

I remember when Maryland used to be a beer destination! Time for a meetup in Elicott City...

Finally got my hands on the (in)famous octo 15.3. Crazy high peat at 307 ppm. Warming up with one of its older brothers. Cheers

They just put this on shelves near me about a month ago for a little over $300.

 

[Billy Baroo]

A few stores fairly close to me have all three of the 15.xxx Octos in stock but I’m hesitant to pull the trigger on one of them…15.1 is $205, 15.2 is $245 and 15.3 is $280. I grabbed the 2025 release of Port Charlotte 18yr instead.

Are the Octomores really that good? The PC18 was $200, so I guess I shouldn’t balk at the msrp price tags the Octos have.

Look on Masterofmalt with shipping you can usually save $40.or more. Just take time to get your order.

Octomores are very good. Some better than others, obviously.

I tend to like the .3s a little better than the others. 6.3 and 7.3 are my favorites of the annual release, the goats so to speak. Some years the .1 and .2 are also exceptional.

The Port Charlotte cask exploration series is phenomenal as well.
