It's not uncommon for old ones like that to be fairly low proof. Angel's share and whatnot.
Not for sale though. I'm guessing it would retail for $400ish.

I bought into a barrel of Secale Straight Rye bottled in bond from Laws Whiskey House about 4 years ago so I’m expecting a couple cases next week. Anybody try this?
^^^ That's a delicious whiskey. How did your barrel share get organized?
They’re a client of one of my CPA buddies so not exactly sure. I think he just rounded up cash from a few friends and bought a couple barrels. One rye and one 4 grain.
You selling any of those bottles?

Little neighborhood watering hole gets the goods. Yummy.
No probably not, sorry. Lots of gifting however.Quote:

Didn't know that was a thing. What does a barrel cost?Quote:

Idaho is a control state. I think Blanton's is around $60-70. Tough to find though. In control states, find the liquor store that supplies the nicer bars. I know where my local supplier store is. I always ask for a case of whatever I'm after is and they'll let go of a couple bottles for me. When I ask for one or two bottles, they tell me they're out. There's two ladies that work there-an Asian with a very thick accent and an anorexic smoker with leather skin. If I make small talk and flirt, they usually help me out. If the dudes are working, I don't even go in the store. Most of the stuff you can't find in the other stores in town is kept in back so you have to ask.
I've been drinking a copious amounts of EH Taylor Small Batch lately. About $40 a bottle and pretty great.

Fucking forum software can’t handle portrait mode.
I'd only ever seen 1 bottle of Pappy on a store shelf before today. Checked out a new liquor store in Reno this afternoon and holy shit, they had it all:
10 year was $400
12 year was $500
15 year was $1K
20 year was $1.6K
23 year was $2.5K
Most other prices were a bit high but they were asking $169 for a bottle of Blanton's which I saw in my local supermarket last week for $53. Whisky prices have gone insane!
^That’s fucked up.
Indeed. Have some Jefferson's Reserve as well and it doesn't hit my sweet spot like the Taylor does.Quote:

Blanton’s has been impossible for me to find this year on the Front Range. Sure has gotten popular.
These all look great, but I have a problem with those 125 proof bourbons. My mind says, "Yeah, yeah, yeah....while my gullet says, "no, no NO."Quote:

This has all but dried up in Oregon. Thankfully the bunker is stocked with backups. Almost mad I brought a bottle to my bootfitter/tuner.Quote:

Just opened a bottle of the McKenna 10yr. Bottled in Bond. Rye heavy but super tasty, especially if you let it sit in your mouth a bit.Quote:

Looong week called for a few pours. Funny I didn’t really enjoy Elijah Craig Small Batch much at all. It was just fine. But just opened a Barrel Proof that is knocking my socks off.
