How are these tasting this year?a98183f6c0d400f59f7d117ce4452bd9.jpg

Toasted is straight garbage, nowhere near as good as basic 94 pf Elijah Craig.  It has a bad wet oak/soggy cardboard nose and palate that I just can’t get down with.  
 

ECBP is good all the time and I especially love it in cocktails. The latest C923 is good, but I was hoping for great on the 13.5 years age statement.

Everything High West has put out the last 5 years has been pedestrian.
Except for YKY.
And yes, I’m including MWND.
Hasn’t been a great one since act 4.

I still like MWND, but the the Constellation acquisition hasn’t been good for High West. 
 

Bourye was great back in the day.

Boss Hog side by side was crazy.
Most unique whiskey I’ve had in years.

The hype of the 13DO is real.
Just flat out incredible.

what barrel finish is that double rye?  i will clean a hobo's butthole for another bottle of the fume blanc.

So me and a few goons are hitting a 3 distillery tour near Lexington via a raffle we won.  How do most get around to the different distilleries as I'm not driving.  

Always have had a car or ridden with someone in my group.
Most distilleries are too far apart to Uber.

I was just there over the weekend. Renting a car is definitely the way to go. Ubering just wouldn't be practical. You'd wait forever to get one and then it would cost a pretty penny to move around.

Quality- Still Austin Cask Strength

Price- pick a Garrison Brothers special edition, but it won’t be better than the StillAustin.

Cowboy bourbon is available right now. It’s the best Texas bourbon by far

This is the correct answer especially in light of the parameters.

Lol wut

 

Garrison Brothers Laguna Madre is the best thing to ever be distilled in this state. And extra marks for not being a bitch and actually distilling it, ya know, at their distillery

Also, IMO it’s right there with btacs for being good and special.

That's certainly an opinion

TW's year-end grand reserve raffle is up.  What are everyone's thoughts on the best order of the following?  I've only had GTS, so I'm flying blind.

1.  Pappy 23

2. Pappy 20

3. Pappy 15

4. VW Family Reserve Rye

5. VW Special Reserve 12

6. ORVW 10

7. ER17

8. GTS

9. Saz 18

10.THH

11. WLW

This is how I would rank, keeping in mind what I have owned in the past or currently have a bottle of.  Also assumes I am going to keep and drink.

Pappy 15

THH (this year supposed to be fire right?)

WLW

Pappy 20

Pappy 23

GTS

ER 17

Saz 18

Reserve Rye

Lot B

Old Rip

ORVW won my blind tasting at Public Services a few years back. I had it higher than Pappy 20, WLW, and GTS.

I would also have it higher than Pappy 23, and of course Lot B. I haven’t had the pleasure yet on Pappy 15 or Pappy Rye.

To each his own. The proof, age, and wheat of ORVW checks all my boxes, and there’s not a huge oak note like 20 and 23.
