Good connection to have, Bob. I too have been getting most of my stuff from a single store, and its paid dividends there too.

I have a couple old Booker's enroute, one is Kentucky Chew so I decided to open one on hand. Definitely one of my favorite batches.

Whoo that’s a nice find. How did you manage that? Friends in high places? Or is it ..

A little of both, Dave? Or FB bourbon groups, one of those.... :-)

Some old dusty WT Donut my good friend and I polished off.

A friend sent me a sample of the Four Roses father's day release, 16yr 137 proof OESV single barrel. Loads of oak, a nice spearmint behind it, sweet but the right amount of oak which I'm always looking for more in a 4R. Easily the best 4R single barrel I've tried, maybe not life changing but I'd drink the sh*t out of it if I could get them at $200

Sounds like a great barrel, Ben. :-)

Did you have any of the Al Young 4R that Hugh brought to Shack years back?

My BIL won a bottle of EHT SB at his 40th HS reunion over the weekend. He's going to wait to open it until October when Steph and I visit for our niece's Police Academy graduation.

Sounds like your bill is a keeper, James. :-)

Congrats all around, James! :-)

I don't think I was there that year but I've had a chance to try AY before, that and a few other LE's are much more rounded, complex, interesting than this 16yr pick but they're all blends of older stuff so I'm not surprised
