Won a bottle of this playing golf with some buddies. Normally I think these gimmicky bourbons aren’t anything special but this was excellent.
Pact No. 1 was pretty bad, IMO. I have passed on all "pacts" since. But, I have heard 1 was by far the worst...might be time to try the others. In the meantime, I'm headed to local shop at 10 tomorrow in hopes of scoring EHT Four Grain as it is in WV, finally.
Looking for the Four Grain in WV found it at one store but they are holding it for a holiday sale.
If I had to guess, you’re speaking of a store in the Barboursville-Huntington area. Purely speculating.

Would love to get a bottle of their rye.
If you’re in PA the rye is still on their website

Patrick St had six bottles sold out he said in 10 minutes. Stopped by after work today and grabbed a bottle of Weller Special Reserve.

I have mixed luck there; but I bought Smooth Ambler’s Big Level there two weeks ago. It’s excellent. Bought two more bottles for my “backstock” (bunker). Highly recommend it.
Heard rumors that Weller Antique is in the area...not sure if that is of interest, but I dig it. Enjoy the Special Reserve. Cheers!

Would love to get a bottle of their rye.
Where are you located?
Im in Toronto, Ontario. When we do get E.H.T. It’s limited and the only chance of getting some is through a draw. The same with the pappy. Most of the good stuff stays south of me.

I could get it but shipping booze out of the US is a bit too risky for my liking. Not sure if they ship to Canada but you might try Craft Spirits Exchange website. I’ve bought from them a few times with no issues. They have the EHT Rye for $63 or so. If you’re a rye guy, I’d suggest Rittenhouse (esp for Old Fashioned) and Woodford Rye...both are typically easier to find (here, anyway).
I was at a graduation party last weekend and the graduate's dad was a whiskey/bourbon collector. He has every valuable bottle that's been mentioned in this thread. He was quite the expert. It was something to behold.
What stave recipe is that Maker’s Private Select? I’ve had a few and they have all been really good and noticeably different. I tend to grab them when I see them.

I’ll be heading down to Brownsville, PA. In the next week or two, to pick up some VW beetle parts. Hoping to find a couple of bottles to bring back with me. Hoping the E.H. Taylor rye is still around?
Hey PA bourbon folks...sounds like the lottery is open. A few good options.
I put in for the Weller and the EHT4G. The rest seem insanely overpriced. Apparently PA is in the booze flipping business now.

I’m surprised the entrapment is even in the lottery. There can’t be a huge demand for it at that price.

I purchased a bottle of it and haven't got around to trying it yet.
I’ve tried a few Orphan Barrel releases...some good and some meh. Forged Oak and Whoop & Holler were good, haven’t been impressed with any of the Rhetorics.
Random thought (for all bourbon enthusiasts) if anyone one would be interested...Bourbon sample trading. I bought some of these sample bottles to use for trading with some people in a “bourbon society” that I’m in and I’ve shipped several in other deals.
Bump. It is Bourbon Month. Anyone having any luck? It has been slow going here other than winning (the chance to buy) a Weller Craft Your Perfect Bourbon in Virginia's bourbon lotto via a friend.

What should I look for? My local spot always gets good stuff.

A few that come to mind that are either out or coming out shortly (before the BTACs and Van Winkles are released) are:
Weller Craft Your Perfect Bourbon (white label; interesting story behind this one; just won opportunity to purchase thru VIrginia lotto) Old Forester Birthday Bourbon (just had the release party in Louisville last week; should start trickling out soon) Rock Hill Farms Four Roses Limited Edition 130th Anniversary (releasing this weekend, I believe...then the trickle out to shops) Pinhook Bourbon Country (orange wax; this is younger than most Pinhook bourbons; just bought a bottle...lots of fruit) Kentucky Owl Bourbon (Batch #8; limited to 28 states or thereabouts) Michter's Toasted Barrel Bourbon Elmer T Lee Parker's Heritage Collection (finished in orange curaçao barrels)
Most of these are in the harder to find category, but if you're in the right place or have the right relationship, anything is possible. RHF, Pinhook, and Michter's can be a little easier to find (at times).
Good luck. Keep me/us posted. I'll do the same.
PS - I did pick up two bottles of Smooth Ambler Single Barrel 13-Year distillery only release a couple weeks ago. It is fantastic.
Gotta try to score some Old Forrester Birthday and Four Roses Limited. Let me know if anyone can snag extras. Good luck with your hunt this fall guys. BTW, my neighbor got me to try Wild Turkey 17 year. Damn good, so had to snag couple bottles locally. Still had some on the shelf. Might be hard to find, but if you do, it’s smooth.
For any PA residents Elmer and Rock Hill Farms are online today.
