Anyone had JR Ewing? Is it worth the price or is using the name a gimmick to surcharge subpar whiskey?Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250

That just sounds deeeeelightful.tempo_n_groove said:Looking to enjoy some 25yro El Dorado rum this weekend. It tastes like a cognac. A very, very good cognac. If you ever have the opportunity to sample this make sure you do.
I'll have to look out for this one next time I'm at a whiskey bar.
Enjoy!0 -
I have seen this and thought to myself "nice bottle!", but no clue on how it tastes. Reviews are mixed from what I see.HesCalledDyer said:Anyone had JR Ewing? Is it worth the price or is using the name a gimmick to surcharge subpar whiskey?
Reminds me of the Ron Burgundy scotch. Tempted, but...can't do it.

For my birthday my buddy got me a set of the Jeffersons Wood Experiment bottles. Looking forward to checking these out. I've always liked Jeffersons Small Batch so these should be good.Pittsburgh 1998 • Pittsburgh 2006 • 2012 Isle Of Wight Festival • 2012 Made In America Festival • Baltimore 2013 • Seattle 2013

As far as what's relative cheap and potentially accessible, I'd try to pick up the Elijah Craig and the Weller Antique. It will allow you to decide whether you prefer bourbons with rye (EC) or wheat (Weller)buck502000 said:I went to the shop yesterday, no luck finding any of the stuff from the thread.

Just wanted to condense the list for ease of seach-ability for next time I visit a shop - going on a beer-less diet and need more liquor.........
Wellers
Elijah Craig
Four Roses
Stag Jr.
Bookers
Eagle
Buffalo Trace Antique
Wild Turkey Spirit
Note: all are at least 51% corn - but finished with rye, wheat, or barley .
If you like the EC, then after that, I'd say graduate to the Stagg Jr which is a barrel proof, usually around 130 proof.1992-07-21 Vancouver

PS: If you can't find the Weller, you could substitute it with other more accessible wheaters like Maker's Mark or Larcenymwplum said:

I can't imagine the top shelf would get much better than Makers Mark at the local bowling alley. Nothing against Makers Mark, just sayin'.BRAIN0FJAY said:My local bowling alley's bourbon selection sucked tonight.

I was sipping some Elijah Craig 12 last night in honour of Parker Beam, and as a big middle finger to ALS.
It still comes with the age statement up here, and is very good quality to price.1992-07-21 Vancouver

It's old stock then, they started with the new label last year.mwplum said:I was sipping some Elijah Craig 12 last night in honour of Parker Beam, and as a big middle finger to ALS.

Front or back? I ask because the front-stated "12" was one of the two bourbons that hooked me.mwplum said:I was sipping some Elijah Craig 12 last night in honour of Parker Beam, and as a big middle finger to ALS.

The front stated age EC and the "newer" back stated 12 year are the same juice in the bottle.BRAIN0FJAY said:

All new EC out of Heaven Hill distilleries will be with out the age statement and just carry the "Small Batch" designation. In this bottle will be a blend of 8-12 year bourbon with the same mash bill. Tastes like the same quality product as before.
Reason: 12 years is long damn time. And they need to preserve some of the older barrels to age for the 18yr (fan-flipping-tactic) and the 21yr.
With all the being said, I know their are plenty of independent liquor stores with the old old 12year labels.
Keep a look out if you really like, guaranteed to trip upon a bottle for the forseeable.0 -
The stock of EC we have in BC still carries the 12 on the front. It may be "old stock" but it's damn good, especially at $49 Canadian dollars (approx $35 USD) a bottle.1992-07-21 Vancouver

I get that the 12 front/back is the same. For me, there is something nostalgic with the "12" on the front since I cut my bourbon teeth on EC12 front-stated.InBetweenIsMne said:

I haven't had any "small batch" 8-12 blend yet. I'm sure it is good.
Agreed, the 18-year is excellent! Finished my last bottle over Christmas and am currently ISO another. Had the 21-year too. Very Good. No luck finding 23-year...yet.
Makers Mark - a good juice - would have been a welcome sight last night. Thankfully I was able to snag some top shelf Coors Lights to get me by.ME68701 said:
