Favorite Whiskey?

Finally got my hands on the Heart Release.

 

Hi guys, been off-line for a while. Coming back to share an interesting Burbon that I have recently bought into on a single barrel auction.

 

Can I see the front? That’s an unusually high age

 

Different bottle, and unfortunately I killed it off last night, but same age as George’s

 

Based on that it seems the tier level is more impactful on the proof than the age…

 

I did a similar blind earlier this year. It was pretty amazing but they were all so good I felt bad about the results lol. Weller 12 and JD12 were the big winners. KC12 was the universal loser (but still awesome)

 

Been a long time since I’ve had a pour. Covid had me all screwed up for a while. Nice to visit the cabinet tonight. Cheers

 

I'm curious as to the lack of print in the Selected by? Distillery pick?

 

Anyone tried Wild Turkey Triumph yet? Just picked one up and wonder if I should hold onto it. The proof has me hesitant on opening it.

 

Cheers!

 

here’s the front

 

You have a higher proof but the older bottles regardless of proof I’ve had are very good

 

On this 4R conversation, anyone know why some caps have a rose engraved and some don't?



Only the New York pick and the Master Distillers have the rose

 

Joey taught me that New York has laws about modifying approved labels so picks in that state have a little neck tag with the store information that picked the barrel.

 

Gotcha, being New York that makes sense.

 

Look at your bottling dates. I looked at a few of mine and all had the engraving except one that was bottled in 2014. I suspect they added the engraving to all bottles sometime between then and now.

 

Nice! I’m forgetting I have a JD12 as well. Jeez a 6 bottle blind is gonna be painful the next day

 

@MattJakobs can help you out here

 

Not much left

 

Kiiiilllll it
