Did you know the Congress made bourbon the official spirit of the America in in 1864 or some year like that? Learned that today and thought of you. Oh, welcome back.

:think:

as i was reading up on it, it said you should only share with an experienced bourbon drinker, as novices may not notice or appreciate the specialness of the occassion.

i believe you meet the minimum requirements.

That is one beautiful bottle of bourbon. Nice snag

I picked up a bottle of this, over the weekend.



At $24.99 for a 12 year old bourbon, good stuff! :thumbup:

had to go look up my review....had it...not a top 3, but i wouldn't kick it out of bed. i forget why.

i think binny's was sampling the 18 year. i do recall trying it, and not being impressed, but it's tough to get a read on a bourbon after just one sip in a liquor store. need to be able to sit down and experience it

I agree, decent bourbon at reasonable price. Do you do your reviews online??? Something like Beer Advocate?

defiantly different.....very complex flavors. very interesting

carry on

for the chicago peeps...

mariano's has evan williams single barrel on hand for $24. solid purchase at that price. i've picked up a bottle from barrel 180. aged two weeks short of 10 years.

I tried my very first taste of Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old. Very pricey for 2oz. pour, but I was on vacation ,so I said Fuck it!!! Yummy stuff, very, very smooth.

Picked up a bottle of Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve for $29 today. Hell of a find as its usually around $45-50.

Ahh the Van Winkle. Once had a chance to get some of the 20 myself in a restaurant but it was $30 so I passed. Next time I went back they didn't have any. Definitely diving in the next time I see it.
