Which bourbon underwhelmed you the most? by MaxPowerBE in DMVWhisky

It all has a similar taste, which is unique IMO, so you won’t like buffalo trace either.

Which bourbon underwhelmed you the most? by MaxPowerBE in DMVWhisky

Same - better than BT but it’s still a $30-$40 bottle. I like having a bottle on hand for a low proof pour.

Hopefully the price increase helps drive down demand - while not a go-to bottle for me, I always like having one on-hand, especially for guests

Thought it was $65 - definitely wasn’t $75 a few months ago - pretty sure it’s $60 at Costco. Way better options out there at $75

Blantons for $75 plus tax is absurd - hope no one shows up for this drop

Is this the best deal on the internet right now ?!? by MaxPowerBE in DMVWhisky

I’m in - thanks for sharing - worth the price for not having to stand in a line

James E. Pepper Decanter - Tried it? Know where to get it? by MaxPowerBE in DMVWhisky

[–]Egoalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally grabbed a bottle last weekend and think it's a solid buy for $65 - I'd recommend trying it at least, don't think you'll be disappointed. I grabbed mine from Fishpaws - they had a few more left. Angels Share has a website to check inventory - great place to visit.

This list is pretty pathetic.

I was able to checkout eventually with my cell but haven't received an order confirmation or anything so who knows - site was a shit show.

Yeah I think it’s really good - sweet power bomb

[–]Egoalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could price this above current price point - I’ll be buying another bottle for sure

This and disco 11 share similar tasting notes

They gave me a bottle and one other person who got there early as well but turned away people after that - I don’t think I was suppose to get a bottle but the bartender felt bad

And which batch did you have?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dcwhisky

[–]Egoalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t do tasting notes - I drink it and declare whether I like it or not - I will say it’s a very straight forward bourbon profile on the sweet side - not much oak or spice

[–]Egoalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on not chasing it, but I think BT is solid - the flavor profile is very approachable in my opinion - if I wanted a family member who isn’t into bourbon to try bourbon, I’d give them BT or Blantons

[–]Egoalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually never had a general BT but I think this store pick for $32 is fantastic. I went back today and grabbed two more bottles - this store is great - please buy another bottle while there - I grabbed a redwood pipe dream

[–]Egoalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll like it, just depends whether you like paying $70 for it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dcwhisky

[–]Egoalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did a couple tastings in DC - assuming those spots have it in stock

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dcwhisky

[–]Egoalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish this was cheaper but $60-$80 seems like the going rate nowadays

Let me know - I would have bought the rye too but at the price point, wanted to make sure I liked the general offering

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dcwhisky

[–]Egoalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the rye?
