Bourbon.

What does PVW 15 run these days? Was that bottle new release or NOS?

Had some friends over for a tasting of another spirit the other day, but we got to talking crazy bourbon and so had a tasting of these:



Skipped the Weller and Stagg because sometimes enough is enough.

The bottle was a 2013 release. It was priced way higher than retail, but way below what the secondary market commands. I wound up turning that bottle into 3 GTS from this year. Pretty happy with my return on it. I don't think Pappy is worth holding onto tbh, it can get you so much more in return. Thats Hirsch is very nice...what year PVW is that? I heard that the 2013 15 isn't the best of their 15 years.

So, the 2014 OFBB is pretty nice. Sweet on the nose, and creamy on the finish. Tastes a lot like some dusties I have. Good stuff.

NYI, its '10 20-year. So pissed I didn't pick up all 5 for $85 a piece when I bought that one.

How is it compared to last year's? That was an amazing bourbon.

If I had a nickel for everytime someone in the bourbon world said that....I knw a guy who has a basement full of Hirsch Red Wax bottles from when they were like $60 a pop. I think its his retirement savings now.

Its a different beast. Last years was very up in your face and the flavors were out there for you. This years the flavors are more nuanced. The change from start to mid palate and the palate to finish is pretty subtle, but there are far more flavors than last years.

Heard back from the Buffalo Trace allotment person, and they missed my name on the list. Turns out that I got a bottle of Thomas Handy. Woo.

Watching this team I'll need a few more of these:

And , boys...if you can get your hands on any of these, go for it. DELICIOUS. Buy it, retail, secondary....trade for it, its worth it. Secondary its fetching around $200, if you think about the time and effort it takes to go find these, it may be worth it for you.

what the **** I didn't receive an email

 

[tdangio]

No idea what the price was, everything was gone by the time I got there.

I didn't get an email either, I just saw that it was up here. They were nice enough to send an email about some wine specials about two hours later though.

 

[JohnGalt]

yeah I received that email too - unreal. I'm livid.

Prices were $59 + tax + $7-8 to ship within PA. Friend got a Stagg for $71.
