It depends on if you are actually going to drink them. Everyone’s palate is different, but the only decent Pappy (to me) is the 15.
Otherwise BTAC all day long and the Blanton’s STFB - though being a single barrel it’s a crap shoot The last group at 125-proof (or so) is pretty good.
If you’re going to trade/sell them grab all the Van Winkles you can.

That being said I have an extra GTS that I would trade for an Eagle Rare 17…..

it really depends on what your intentions are. if you want to make money and flip them or actually keep them and drink them.
IMO, just because they are more rare and more expensive doesn't mean they taste better (of course that is subjective).

These will be for my consumption. I would be perfectly happy with either Blantons or the Eagle rare. We will see what the draw brings. Last year I got nothing.

Not sure why you think that’s funny…?
George T. Stagg is typically the King of the BTAC lineup, older and has WAY more positive reviews this year than the Eagle Rare 17.
I just was lucky enough to get (2) this year.

Sftb and Gold are heads and tails over standard.

Of course it's a mixed bag due to the single barrel bottling.

When better times come around again (I believe they will) I want to start trying to collect the letters.  The one taste of Blanton's I've had, was amazing.  It was NOT straight from the barrel.  Can't even imagine that.

Had a pour of a Blanton’s Gold store pick and both the wife and I were unimpressed.
Tasted like a Hot Tamale candy.
Ended up dumping 1/2 of it out.
And I like Blanton’s.

Interesting. I’ve drank a bunch of Blantons but always the off the shelf stuff. I do want to try some variants. I should have been keeping the tops…

Thanks! We have state controlled liquor here so the state forces all the stores to follow mrp. A lot of the Pappy stuff that sells for $3k+ is $500-750 here, if you can get it. If it’s $7,500 from olcc I’ll be passing.

I took the whole month of September off from Bourbon. Drank a couple of Yuenglings per day and some awesome 0% alcohol IPAs. My palate reset and what little bourbon I'm drinking now tastes a lot different. I also saved a sh*t ton of money from the bourbon I didn't buy. That being said, I am still a tater at heart and can highly recommend these. I deleted the Whistle Pig 15 year because I can source it locally as well as the Ben Holladays (both are HIGHLY recommended). The Weller SR (green label is unallocated here; it used to be a daily for me). I can get those for you and ship if you can't get them locally.

Blanton's Single Barrel Gold Edition, Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey (1) Best of the entire Blanton's lineup
Stagg Bourbon, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (1) A younger version of the BTAC GT Stagg
Weller Antique 107, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (1) Second best of the Weller line
Weller Full Proof, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (1) Best of the Weller line
Jameson 18 Year, Irish Whiskey One word. Smooth.

The Weller millennium is a gimmick. The Woodford baccarat is a fancy crystal bottle. The WP 21 year single malt might be interesting but when has a decent single malt ever been made on this side of the pond?

I'll happily take any leftovers you end up not wanting! Good luck!

I have also cut way back. Not drinking during the week save $$$! But I still love a whiskey or bourbon Friday and Saturday. Local shop has Blanton on the shelf for $74. I’ve had a bunch of that but I still prefer Basil Hayden dark rye or toast at $37.

I’ll keep putting in but don’t have high hopes.

The Weller millennium is a gimmick. The Woodford baccarat is a fancy crystal bottle. The WP 21 year single malt might be interesting but when has a decent single malt ever been made on this side of the pond?

I'll happily take any leftovers you end up not wanting! Good luck!


I have also cut way back. Not drinking during the week save $$$! But I still love a whiskey or bourbon Friday and Saturday. Local shop has Blanton on the shelf for $74. I’ve had a bunch of that but I still prefer Basil Hayden dark rye or toast at $37.

I’ll keep putting in but don’t have high hopes.

Meanwhile there are some unallocated that are available on the shelf here so if you do end up wanting any just say so and I'll ship them post haste.

Thanks! The guy I have been letting shoot my 300 Norma came over for dinner Friday. He brought 3 good bottles as a thanks. I’m set for a while.

It’s that time again. This draw is for some pricy bottles. I kind of feel that $150 is my personal limit.

See the first post for the list.

Thanks! I have been taking a break between T day and Christmas. If I win one it’ll be a nice reward!

Here are my 5 picks $150 or less:

EAGLE RARE 17 YEAR  KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY - $149.95
GEORGE T. STAGG - KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY - $149.95
WELLER C.Y.P.B. - KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY - $58.95
WILLIAM LARUE WELLER - KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY - $149.95
VAN WINKLE SPECIAL RESERVE 12 YEAR - KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY - $149.95

But I would highly encourage you to consider stretching your budget and replacing any one of those with this:
RUSSELL'S RESERVE 15 YEAR - KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY - $249.95

I was lucky enough to get a bottle of the Russell's 15 and it is exquisite.  I'd pay $250 again for one in a heartbeat.

Thanks! I’m ordering a new barrel for my elr rifle. I feel so guilty I have to pass on the more expensive bottles this draw. I’ll keep an eye out in the future for that one.

I'm doing a dry January. A truly dry January. I think I need to pick up some 0% beer just so I can have a taste of something other than water and Coke Zero.
