I’ve been on the 1792 kick as of late- the single barrel is one of best I drank this year. I also got me a full proof store pick-looking forward to cracking this one

Nice haul today! Actually picked up the Rose Cask a couple of weeks ago. The BIB 1792 is a store pick- Picked up another Single Barrel 1792 as I just about drank the first bottle I picked up The other Penelope is a Heavy toast 116 proof-also a barrel pick

Years later and I am still enjoying this thread....most often while drinking Four Roses!

Still haven’t popped the 1792 full proof but had a glass of the Elijah Craig barrel proof and man is it delicious. A little goes a long way.

Landed a bottle of Eagle Rare on Friday at local shop for $48.99, would only let me get 1 bottle though. I went back in a few hours later and it was all gone.

Also, I've tried a few bottles of the Sams Club Members Mark Bourbon bottled by Bardstown. Members Mark Tequila is really smooth so I figured I'd give it a shot $18.88. The first bottle wasn't bad, a little bite to it but not bad. The 2nd bottle had a little more bite/burn to it but over all for $18.88 not terrible and the price is right.

I went to a tasting event at a bar down the street from me on Friday for the full Redwood Empire lineup.

Core and Cask strength versions: Lost Monarch, Pipe Dream and Emerald Giant.
Bottled in Bond Series: Grizzly Beast and Rocket Top
And the three Limited Series: Foggy Burl, Devil's Tower and Screaming Titan

For the price point, I thought the Lost Monarch core version was very good. Under $40/bottle. The Pipe Dream was my favorite of the cask strengths.

But I thought the best was the Screaming Titan, the limited wheated bourbon.

I was lucky enough to win a raffle for the purchase rights of a limited bottle, but it was Devils Tower. It was my second favorite, so I bought it, plus there were only 25 barrels of it made.

Redwood Empire has some quality selections Tryed the Monarch and the Pipe Dream and like you thought the Pipe Dream was fantastic

It would be pretty cool if some of these distillers had the rights to produce a few sports cards.

I miss the days of cards that were only available with food or drink purchases.
