Is that the B520 batch? I just finished my A120, 135 proof or something, needs a little ice...

yes! B520

What’s that bad boy set you back?

I'm guessing $130 give or take a couple bucks

What’s that bad boy set you back?

$800 only because I know a guy. Lol. He’s hooked me up with some other good stuff. Whistle Pig “Boss Hog” and a Johnny Walker Blue Churchill edition

My understanding is that once it is out of the barrel and in the bottle, it stops aging. It should taste about the same as a new 12 year old
bottle

BTW, that bottle of Glenfiddich Old Special Reserve bought in 1985, set me back $12.05. I saw on a site this bottle is probably worth $200.

As disappointing as this season has been this is my favorite thread!

In Ocean City on vacation until tomorrow morning. Found Booker's Kentucky Chew for $100. Highly rated and no longer available in most of the country. If anyone wants one let me know tonight. Will purchase and arrange for pick up when I return.

Nice, thanks. Locally I think beer selection has way outpaced good liquor selection, 99% of liquor stores seem to stick to more generic stuff. The exceptions where I shop are Harborview, Vinomania, and Cork Monkey. But I'll have to swing by West Seneca soon.

Harborview is great, you can get pretty much everything there. Great selection of NYS wins as well.

Much too important a thread to allow it to fall off the first page. Especially this week.

I just opened Blood Oath, Pact No. 6., finished in cognac barrels, over the weekend. I tried to post, but the image was too big. A great bottle. It makes me want to search out the earlier Pacts.

Ginger ale and ginger beer go great with bourbon.

Jim Beam Black and Ginger Ale is outstanding. Ditto Jim Beam anything with Ginger ale. Even lincolncuse enjoys a Jim Beam Honey with Ginger Ale from time to time.

If blurring the whisky/bourbon line, that used to be one of my go to drinks in college when there was an open bar. It was one I could remember what was in it! We called it Jack & Ginger

I love a Kentucky Mule with Crabbie's Ginger Beer. It's got a kick with 4.8% plus 2oz of whatever bourbon of choice. Throw in a little lime juice and a mint sprig and you've got a great drink.

Dark n Stormy

Ginger Beer and Goslings Dark Rum

Delicious and easy to get drunk fast.
