Sent from my SM-G975U using TapatalkThose are very good. I bought 4 from Virginia's limited release. Some are better than others, there are a lot of possible combinations, but most are exceptional.

Smooth is an understatement regarded gentleman jack. I remember my 27th birthday, at least how it started. Free shots of that from the bartender. I thought it was watered down because it tasted like water with zero burn. I haven't tried any since I became big into bourbon, maybe it's not so bad??Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 we see some over here. stunning stuff. not sure of that particular one though. There are several in their line up. The bourbon and rye are pretty common. The single barrel rye, toasted barrel (bottle posted), 10 year bourbon and rye, and 20 year bourbon are some of the "rare" ones they make as well. Rumor is they dont even have a distillery and just buy bourbon from distilleries to age and bottle themselves, but that might be me confusing them with other brands. There are several brands that do that. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference between regular sour mash and toasted sour mash. The former is available always where I'm from, while the later is a limited run and I have only seen it in person one time. It's delicious. 8 minutes ago, prodigy said: There are several in their line up. The bourbon and rye are pretty common.

They made a lot less 10 yr rye this year so I'll not see that one again until next year. It is way better, in my opinion, than this year's 10 yr bourbon, which I didn't care too much for. And Michter's has two distilleries, they do not get from MGP or elsewhere. You're thinking of a different brand. Actually, many do this... The 20 yr is impossible to find. I've never seen one in person. They have two distilleries, Ft. Nelson and Shively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend got the 20 year recently at msrp, I'm jealous to say the least. He says it's really, really good. I have a few 10 year bourbons from last year. It's good, but not worth the price considering BTAC and pappy are technically cheaper. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I had to look it up. Michters has only been producing in house since 2015, so pretty much everything they've sold has been sourced from somewhere else. It'll be another 6 years before they sell a 10 year that they actually made. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends told me this...lol had to look it up for myself as well. It looks like they have sourced from all over Kentucky as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only buy from three stores, and give a list of what I'm seeking at each one. I only ask for one bottle, and they appreciate that. Many times they'll call me to let me know there's something special. One of the buyers at the stores enjoys cigars, so I always stop buy just to drop a few off, and that keeps everything cool. The Barrel 15 year can be purchased at Blackwells online, and at Mash and Grape. they have it for about 250.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 That's a good day right there! Nice pick ups!For some reason the eht single barrel is making people go crazy in Virginia. Waiting in line hours before stores open. It's good, it's not that good. I was almost out and am glad I was able to restock. It's almost too much work to get bottles that are decent these days. I'm finding scotch is just as good, or better, cheaper in most cases, and readily available with no mass hysteria of waiting in lines and buying cases to resell for 3x profit.

Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk I completely understand. If I didn't have "my girl" at the liquor store or I would never get any HTFs, sell out before I'm able to make it after work. Perks to being a regular and loyal. I also make sure to return favors in other commodities (nothing mischevious) that she is on the hunt for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
