It's usually about three times the price of the full proof....
Shows what a great value the KC12 is, considering its like half the price of most of the others on the list.
My new personal unicorn. If it’s 3x what I paid for my last FP…I MIGHT be able to justify it!!

I agree. I love that bottle
Happy hunting!
My local has it for $150, and I haven't been able to convince myself it's potentially worth anywhere near that, especially considering the BiB and FP are $45-$50. Same for the 1792 sweet wheat.
I spent $42 each for the last two FP bottles I bought. I could MAYBE justify $125 but $150 would be a no-go for me.
I love that it’s out there though…something to search for!
Great price on those!

Didn’t realize there wasn’t an opened one of these in the cabinet but I quickly corrected that oversight
This is easily the best cask strength bottle I can easily find anytime I need one. Love these!

A8 v A7
A8 - nose - char, pepper, proof
palette - caramel, dark fruit, oak, long finish
A7 - nose - dark chocolate, char, cherry
palette - char, fruit, cocoa, long finish
These were both fantastic and very similar. in the end A8 had a slight bitterness on the finish while the finish on A7 was nice and clean.
winner - A7

I agree! This particular barrel is fantastic! It’s a favorite of mine but it rarely sees light of day anymore
These have become impossible to find. They used to collect dust on the shelves here…now they’re ghosts.

Absolutely a pain to find now a days. It seemed like the bourbon junkies on youtube talked about it and then it started flying off the shelves. I actually found the one I have collecting dust in the liquor store behind a bunch of other stuff!I agree! This particular barrel is fantastic!

Got gifted this for my birthday recently (thanks nephew!)
It's the highest proof I've tried and the underlying Jim Beam nutty profile is a nice change to my usual rye based bourbons.

Remember the days this bottle was actually available in Atlanta! Oh 2023…such a good year!Didn’t realize there wasn’t an opened one of these in the cabinet but I quickly corrected that oversight
B6 v B5
B6 nose - caramel, fruit, proof
palette - baking spice, brown sugar, vanilla, long finish
B5 - nose = molasses, fruit
palette - fruit, light crisp finish
winner - B6
both had a really good taste on the front, but on the finish B5 really fell off compared to a nice vanilla on B6. I think a lot of this had to do with proof, both a really nice pours in their own right

After a lot of searching I finally was able to get this one on the shelf with a HUGE thanks to @Pinkdan for this one. This is a special bottle for me, my dad was a huge wild turkey fan (as you can see from the picture) and he passed almost 2 years ago now. Been wanting to get this “unforgotten” as a tribute to him for a while now, can’t wait to give it a try for dad later today or this weekend.

I love stories like this! I hope that Unforgotten is everything and then some in exceeding your expectations…it’s fantastic juice and definitely worthy of that special occasion pour!
I see you have an old Wild Turkey porcelain decanter on your shelf just like I do! Mine was my grandfather’s who just so happened to only drink WT. My first ever pour of bourbon was old faithful 101 and it was with grandpa just before he passed.

I’m very excited to have a small dram, it’ll definitely be an every once a while pour maybe several times a year. I love that decanter mine was dads that I couldn’t even tell you how old it is I just remember he always had it on his bar and now I happily display it on mine.

Your decanter is from 1977 and it was number 7 in a series that I believe started in 1971 and ran up to 1979. Mine is from 76 and I think they made a couple of different bicentennial editions that year. Very cool history sitting on your shelf and a great conversation piece!
