SC seems like a decent place for good bourbons. It's so controlled in NC, I buy most of mine near Columbia, SC
I tried the scotch tonight. At first sip, I was ready to get rid of it. By the time I finished the shot glass, I figured I'd keep it. The flavor kind of grows on you.I'm not a scotch guy, but that's a solid bottle. Just don't expect bourbon and go into it with an open mind.
Great value.
THIS.....is awesome!!!!
Where did you find Rebel Yell 10 yr single barrel? That bourbon has some family history on my wife's side Her great grandmother who just died last week always talked about Rebel Yell. That was the first bourbon I ever got my wife to drink, but it was the basic $20 Rebel Yell you can find locally and it was not very good. Apparently they sold the company many moons ago and it changed or something.
Rebel Yell 10 Single Barrel is a rebirth of the line released by Luxco.. presumed to be Heaven Hill wheated bourbon (older version of the 6-7yo Old Fitgerald). It was supposed to be a fairly limited (2000 cases) 1 time release in 2016, however they had another, 2000 case release this year.
I didn't get anything@Slapdash
TRYING To send out the PM but it says you can't receive it... please fix that so we can get this PM sent. Thanks, GB. Everyone else, PLEASE check your PM box and ensure you've got free space for a few messages back and forth about this. Don't be @Slapdash and make this harder on everyone than it has to be
Slap, If I don't hear from you in an hour I'll just send to everyone else and leave you out
Yep. Sorry for being a speedbump, kinda crazy they haven't increased PM space in 13 damn years hereAdded you... can you see the OP in the PM thread?
Seriously... I'm so jealous of wherever the hell you live! I've been looking for Elmer T. Lee for about a year now. It is impossible to find around here. Might be my favorite bourbon. But then again, it has been over a year since I had it, so I might just be living in the past memories.. 
I bought a bottle of Larceny recently. I'm not a fan. It's smooth and not a bad drink but it has too much of a smoky taste for me. Should have bought another bottle of Buffalo Trace, Bulliet Rye or any of my go-tos. The old standbys of Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Four Roses are tough to beat.
I enjoy all of those as well - but I also enjoyed Larceny - it's the bottle I finished most recently so have a small space to fill in the small allotted area my wife allows me. If I wasn't about to be driving my son and his friend to a basketball game here in a bit I would be tempted to have a few drinks to try and clear some more space.
Had some Turkey yesterday myself, at my brother's. Good stuff. When I drink it this year I sometimes splash in a little cranberry juice and annoy my family with "turkey & cranberry" jokes.
They’re standard 1oz size sample Boston rounds. Nothing crazy, but they should be sufficient to get a good taste.How big are those little bottles? Looks like a good amount of whiskey!
I felt the exact same way about Larceny. I was excited to get it when I did, but I just did not enjoy it.
Each bottle was poured, capped, labeled, individually wrapped in bubble wrap, bagged, packed in more bubble wrap, boxed. Box was then sealed up, labeled, addressed etc (standard crap). There are usually a few surprises with these sort of things... I may have thrown a twist or two in there, curious to see how it plays out.
Old forrester has been turning out some good stuff lately. I strongly suggest everyone check out their Prohibition 1920 for a very full flavored sipper.
You're a good egg Icon. What a classy and generous guy. I hope Santa is good to you his year.[icon] said:GENERAL UPDATE:
SAMPLES HAVE GONE OUT. Should arrive Friday, pending an average performance by the USPS.
It was a good bit more involved than I expected
USPS lady was not pleased with me dropping 11 boxes going to different addresses at 11:50am on the last reasonable mailing day before Christmas. Lines were.... long.
Once those involved have had a chance to taste everything, and submit their scores, I'll detail what was in the sample jars, and how the voting turned out.
That's a good bottle at a fair price. I prefer the Small Batch over the higher priced Single Barrel. The Stagg was likely Stagg, Jr. and is good as well.
I was super excited when I found the single barrel as I really like the small batch. I honestly couldn't taste much of a difference. Especially not a 2x as much cost difference. I buy the small batch every time I see it around here (which is usually maybe 2-3 times per year)
