I picked up a Charbay S this summer and it’s super weird but also pretty good.
-
5 yr Heaven Hill wheated? Pretty sure that will just taste like larceny. Good luck.
-
Are those age stated or just poor man’s RY10 year which is already a single barrel and relatively easy to find at Spec’s for $55?
-
Sazerac is taking advantage of the slow month to roll out the Thomas Moore finished Barton series. Should be pretty ok, but I’m having trouble imagining the Chardonnay one.
-
Exacrly. I do plenty of trading at secondary pricing because good luck getting any traction on your trades otherwise. For example this year I paid $160 or so each for two bottles of OFBB and traded one away for an ORVW, which I’ve never found at any price. And I’m definitely part of the scarcity problem with 100+ unopened. But I can afford it and this is America so whatever.

I haven’t done any side x side but by itself I thought the JD was more rare breed rye than THH. Then I traded one of my three away for a B520 plus $40 and felt like I got the better end.

I’m using Cabela’s seasoning, but happy with these 80/20 venison/pork belly snack sticks done on applewood in my Little Chief electric. Not sure why people insist on putting so much pork or beef in with venison when it’s such a mild meat and makes great sausage at 15% or so fat content. I’m super lazy about making them real stick length so I just run a (that’s what she said) super long sausage link and the coil it up on racks. It gets cut to length later and is much faster.

I need that ‘19. Always buy spares when you can.
-
I might give it a listen. They are crazy sneaky when they want to be and they have a habit of circling you to get downwind and smell you, which is creepy. But don’t listen to anybody who tells you they can run quietly. I’ve been around them most of my adult life and they sound like a heard of elephants when they’re running. They are generally pretty loud when they’re not trying to be quiet.

Ha, I’ve been bluff charged before on Admiralty Island carrying a 10lb BAR in 300 win mag and I was still scared out of my mind. I’m more concerned about not dying than how much it weighs. This is still more portable than a rifle or shotgun.
-
Point is it could be traded for something in the $350 range. I don’t mind paying secondary for great stuff, but this doesn’t live up to the hype.
-
It’s good, but I might trade mine away after getting a sample. It’s more like $200 good than $350 good.
-
Since my wife is the best I now have my first new revolver in over a decade. This 460 will be my Alaska bear gun so I can quit borrowing my BIL’s 44. But since everything is terrible I’m waiting a week to get ammo unless I luck into some locally in Austin. My plan is to start with some 45 colt and work up to the real deal before practicing on a whitetail from my tree stand.
-
Spec’s guy be like, “it’s our best selling Disney+ tie-in bourbon! Super smooth!”
-
The ‘19 one is good, haven’t had the ‘20. I picked up my ‘19 when secondary was $165 and then traded two W12 for a 15 year old fitz. The decanters sit on my top shelf looking pretty.
-
No, a good 9-11 year Elijah Craig pick is better and under $35.
-
It’s good and has lots of stone fruit notes that I really like. Value is a weird thing, but I’m not mad that I was drinking Stitzel Weller on a beautiful afternoon even if it’s 80 proof.
-
Speaking of Rebel Yell I picked up a 1990 Stitzel Weller today to drink while I smoked beef ribs.
-
This is BEC and is getting pretty old at this point. Buffalo Trace maintained a website where you could leave reviews based on which bottling you purchased and I think they even made the results public. I’ve only had one and it’s pretty unremarkable.
-
Nevermind the OWA. I’ll say it again, Redemption Wheated is better than both non-store pick OWA and RY10. It’s also cheaper and more available if you’re more into the drinking than collecting.
-
I get some decent stuff there sometimes, but they also like to recommend Broken Saddle and stupid shit like that.

Only had to try two Spec’s to grab a backup.
-
It has sold out everywhere instantly and/or didn’t hit front shelves unlike the rest of the the Woodford Master’s series. Secondary was over $250 but settling in the low $200s. It’s really good and tastes like there’s plenty of 17 y/o in the blend. I tried it with WT Diamond and Michter’s 10 (‘18) and it topped both. It probably couldn’t hang with WT 17 Bottled in Bond but it doesn’t suck at all for $119.
-
If you get the call on the Woodford your answer should be yes. It’s better than ‘18 M10 bourbon and absolutely blew WT Diamond away. It would probably get abused by Boone County 12 or Lot B in a real 90 proof showdown, but it’s very good.
