@scooter thanks for your review of the ECB524. I’m also a proof whore and this batch sounds tasty and am looking forward to adding to the rotation after I complete the A124 batch. Thanks again and enjoy! BTW - I never had anything from Bardstown; looks like a nice blend - I’m going to check this out.

@mclaincausey Grabbed one of only 59 bottles of this at the pre-sale. It was 20% off/$139 and is 92 proof. Hoping it lives up to the hype,and that I can appreciate it.

Russell’s

@WhiskeySandwich Which one is it and what do you think? I’ve haven’t had one in quite a while and have been curious.

@Jett129 10-year, and it’s great. Been my go-to since the Buffalo Trace became unobtainable. The whiskey inflation of anything over 10 years has taken a toll lately though. Even though I consider this not only a better deal than Russell’s single barrel, but a better whiskey altogether, it’s starting to reach the price that I don’t consider a “great buy”. The way the market is going, they’re starting to price anything worth buying at the limit of what you could consider a “good deal” for the quality. McKenna 10year bib, for example, has more than doubled in price over the past few years. When I bought it for 30$ it was a killer deal, now it’s just meh for 70$. I haven’t yet resigned myself to Wild Turkey 101, but anything worth a shit is starting to get priced beyond its value. Bulliet 10 is still a solid buy readily available and is now cheaper than Russell’s, despite Russell’s being 10$ cheaper jets a year or so ago.

@WhiskeySandwich Thanks so much for the response,as I’m always looking for value in my bourbon purchases. The Eagle Rare 10 year used to bemy go to at between 29-34.99 a bottle. Can’t,currently,find it in my neck of the woods. The McKenna still holding at $56.99 out here. I should probably grab a bottle. The Russel’s 10 is currently $44.98 and the Single Barrels are going for $57.98. Thanks again.

@Jett129 no prob! Yeah, I’ve been on the list for Eagle for over a year, allocations spread thin. That’s a decent price for McKenna.

Here’s one I got to reward myself for completing 60 booze free days (went with the turkey one on the right):
More here about the spirit.

@mclaincausey I would,also, highly recommend the ArteNom 1579,and the ArteNom 1123,which is ever so slightly immersed in wet Mezcal barrels.

1579 doesn’t miss
