Found this at Costco today and picked it up for $80. Might be the best looking bottle and stopper out there. Hope it taste decent.
Middle Tennessee is getting the Willett/Kings of Leon collaboration this week.
19yr Bourbon with an MSRP of $1349.99. Enjoy!

Sometimes. I see some stores trying to make things allocated like Early Time BIB and Old Grandad 114. Never thought EW SiB would be there, although it's fantastic for the price.
Wild Turkey Master's Keep started showing up in the area today ana apparently people are snatching it up now.
I have a couple bottles stashed from my last pick!! We drink and share!! I had a WLW on the table tonight for the adult trick or treaters
Haven’t opened it. Trick or treat last night and work tonight. Hopefully I’ll crack it open tomorrow night. Will keep y’all updated.
Just ordered another Smoke Wagon Uncut and Woodinville Private Select. Mash & Grape online, nice selection and quick shipping. It’s where I got the Kentucky Owl Takumi. Haven’t cracked that one yet but may this weekend after the Bills smoke the Jets.
Update: Had a glass last night. It’s ok. Probably $40 juice in a $40 bottle. You’re mostly paying for the display and look. Kinda expected it so not disappointed.
Put OF 1920 and 1910 next to each other tonight. 1920 is significantly better for my palate - not close
Now blend them 50/50 for a batch of OF 1915.
Didn’t crack anything as the Bills lost and Allen has an elbow thing. Woodinville and Smoke Wagon arriving tomorrow.
Been a pretty good for bourbon scores this past week. Lucked into an ETL at retail on Friday and have found 4 bottles of ER since Monday, which is the wife's favorite. Sunday I should be getting a bottle of JM Cigar Blend from a friend who was looking out for me.
Cold front moving in this weekend too?
I predict a little whiskey around fire pit this weekend...

Stumbled into our local PLCB store and lo and behold, found these two missing persons!!
Im about to send my stoppers off to BT to be mounted.
Congrats! I started in on it at Act 7 and was able to grab bottles back then. Didn't get any for the next two years, but was able to obtain two of them this year. Interestingly, the first was an Act 9. Not sure what it was doing hanging around that long. Anyway, I've got a 9 and a 10 right now and can't wait to enjoy one of them during Thanksgiving.
That's awesome! I love the MWND. I got my first last year. And than I was able to get that one i showed a picture of and one of the "Encore."
Got real lucky. In the bourbon group I'm in I made friends with a guy who was going to Salt Lake for the release weekend of encore and he snagged me one.
Attention Pa residents: PLCB Limited Release Lottery is up for all Pappy ferocities plus Okd Forester Birthday Bourbon

This was only possible bc. of friends in the community.
I ended up with a couple bottles myself this year from different stores in the area.
I haven't had the current stuff made by Barton, but I have a couple bottles stashed in a box from when they were a Brown-Foreman product. It's the best $20 bottle I have found outside of Kentucky.

Would love to try this and has received great reviews but at $500 a bottle, it’s a little too pricey for me

That's a tough call for me, bro. $500 for NAS bourbon aged in Cognac casks? Maybe if they knocked a '0' off the price.Would love to try this and has received great reviews but at $500 a bottle, it’s a little too pricey for me
The mashbill is 70/21/9 so I am assuming this is their mashbill distilled at BBC that's no older than 2018.
Kentucky Owl releasing a Mardi Gras XO distilled in rum barrels for about the same price. It’s a little outrageous now.
Yeah, they're losing their minds. I feel bad for the folks who don't understand the game.
My bottle of Good Funking Bourbon arrived today, but the label had changed and it was no longer labeled as distilled in NY with water from the Adirondacks. Now it’s labeled as distilled by Panther Distillery in Minnesota. I googled Panther and they don’t mention it among their products but they do show some bourbon called Ordeal which I assume is the same product. It’s aged 4 years in charred American Oak. I gave it a quick taste neat, and it was OK - slightly sweet and somewhat smoother than I had expected. I wouldn’t have bought it except for the novelty of the name and at $30 plus shipping it’s a little more than worth it compared to a Makers Mark or similar, but it will be fun to haul out on occasion. I’m a little annoyed that they sort of did a bait and switch with the location where it’s sourced. Has anyone heard or tried Ordeal Bourbon before? I guess it sells in the low $20s in Minn. for a one liter bottle.
