    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.

    Nice work! Did you have a favorite? Or a disappointment?

    That's an understatement, unfortunately.  Hell, it is even true for several items that were commonly found on shelves not long ago.

    I guess extras wouldn’t really be applicable to those.  You’re right.  How about just take your spouse or sibling with you to get my bottle when it’s 1 per customer?  :i_dunno:

    The Makers and old forester were good - not a big fan of “peated” stuff.

    What was the stave selection on the Maker's Private Select?
