I just had a great idea…all the BT haters please stop buying it, so we can get some here in rural PA! LOL

Local store here[.gov operated] has a line every time BT arrives.

I wouldn't use "hate" so much as "others preferred"

well dang, if you’re that close to the Bourbon Trail and there’s a line for BT there, ain’t no wonder we can’t get it up here. Between demand and distribution corruption, we are skeeerewed!

Everyone's mileage will vary. For example, I was excited to find a bottle of Larceny on the shelf, and was underwhelmed at the contents. That will happen with some from time to time. Nothing worth pouring out, but not worth picking up another bottle either.

I also find that neck pours, esp from higher proofs are not the be all, end all of the bottle, and generally try to let bottles sit after that. I have a barrel pick KC single barrel 120 proof from Timmons in Rapid City opened and sitting now and I'm thinking it should be about to reveal itself in 30 days or so.

I participated in a barrel pick of Buffalo Trace at my local liquor store last year. The distillery sent out three samples. One was ghastly (honestly a drain pour), one was unbelievably good, and one was so/so. We of course picked B and it arrived in bottles about the first of the year. It was just as fantastic then as it was in May. Better than the Col Taylor I had open at the time. Just fantastic. So yes, Buffalo Trace can vary from bottle to bottle.

For what its worth.

Here it is.

20+ years ago we really liked this. Not sure if they are making it at the remodeled facility or not.

Both good, 4 roses has some great offerings.

Just picked up a bottle of Four Roses small batch, Friday, to replace the Elijah Craig, that died last night !

Time will tell ?

You just replaced a solid pour with a solid pour !!!

You done GOOD !!!

That's a stellar idea !!!!

I've not had a bad bottle of Buffalo Trace, yet. My favorite, though, is probably Eagle Rare.

What's the problem with taking a liking to a single barrel is that the next bottle is never guaranteed to be like the last. I'm a big Four Roses fan. Tried a bottle of 4R Single Barrel.................it sucked............alcohol forward on the nose and palate. Like rubbing alcohol.

The YMMV is a thing. Personal preferences vary. Batches of hooch with the same label vary.

Was at a restaurant[Tappas] a couple of weeks ago.
Another couple took us as a gift.

Bud said lets try some stuff!

I had 4 total pours, he had 5.
That and a couple of glasses of wine for the wimmens put our bar tab just north of $200

I would have been fine back at the house with my JB Devil's Cut or Elijah Craig

It was comical when he ordered a pour of Blantons.....on ice.
The owner just looked at him while shaking his head-NO

Better than E H Taylor is a pretty high bar, that had to be good! Only ever had small batch which I thought was very good. Had my grubby paws on a bottle of single barrel a few years ago, priced at $54…said I’ll swing by and get it tomorrow. GONE the next day! Would love to get a four grains bottle as well!

I guess I’ve been pretty lucky with BT and 4R single barrel…never had a bad bottle of either.

First genie bottle of Willets Pot Still reserve I ever bought had an atrocious neck pour, but aired out it got better, and while it’s not a top 5 pour for me, it’s like that kinda cute but geeky chick that hangs around all the parties, it gets hit on now and then.

I am one that must have gotten a bad bottle of BT, do not plan on buying another.

Opened up a bottle of Wyoming Whiskey Bourbon last night. It was horrible when it first came out, but had read some reviews that it was better.

They are correct, it is better, still not good. Can not advise anyone to spend money on a bottle. Relegated to mixer status on the shelf.

Ha funny. Good info. Do you shop at the Timmons Markets in Rapid? I was super impressed with the shelves there.

I have not tried Colorado or Wyoming bourbon yet, I've had a couple of HighWest bottles tho. Fine, but I did not think it premium juice. I guess I have a Bourye sitting here unopened. I'd like to try that Midwinter night's dram sometime but never seen it on the shelf.

Costco here has the 4 roses small batch select from time to time and I find it to be fantastic.

Not cheap but reasonable for when I feel like something a little bit higher up on the shelf
