Favorite Whiskey?

just picked up the rye today for 65! I love me some JD!

 

How are the JD10 & 12, and when did you get them?

 

I got them back in April from my local BevMo, the 12 year is a LOT better once it sits for a couple weeks, but they’re both really good. The 12 is worth the hype

 

Dude, I saw the post too late! I tried to get the rye too haha gotta keep an eye out at Bevmo

 

Let’s talk about A. Smith Bowman 10-Year Cask Strength.

I can’t find it for sale anywhere online. I’ve never seen it or talked to anyone who’s seen it.

Does this bottle really exist?

And…144.5 proof!

 

I think there’s one day a year they release them at the distillery and the line is crazy so I hear.
Lottery item in VA and $1000+ on the secondary. I have one friend that got a bottle but didn’t open it.
That’s about as much as I know. Probably not much help haha

 

Sounds like it’s in the same category as the OF Birthday Bourbon or the Four Roses Limited Edition. But those you can find for sale online from a wide variety of distributors.

I went to Wine Searcher and finally found two places that sell it. One for $2400 and one for $3200. And that’s it. I wonder how many bottles Bowman puts out a year, must not be many.

 

And then I followed it up with this

 

Russell’s 10 year. Absolutely delicious, but we all knew that already.

 

As you all predicted nothing great in pa, got the reliable ones though.

 

Cracked last night, but I’m back at it again…finish for daaaays

 

I was excited about this being a regular release, but of course Virginia had to go and put it on the allocated list.

 

That’s not a Toyota symbol on that steering wheel.

 

It’s the first release, hopefully next year it will be more plentiful, people are just being taters about the new girl in town

 

Speaking of taters…

Picked this up about 6 months ago.

 

My recommendation would be to add a tater value for each one. Who ever has the most potatoes wins, right?

 

had a good laugh at some, list is made to include EVERYONE, we all do it

 

On that tater list I think of it as degrees of taterness depending on your score. 30% yes, it’s ok, you’re a bourbon hobbyist. 60% yes, that’s entering the caution zone. 90% and above, you’re a full on tater and probably need to seek counseling.
