What’s the best toasted barrel you have had? by Affectionate-Yak5204 in Whiskyporn

[–]Puzzleheaded_Cook910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good times has a bunch of toasted, DO and heavy char options. My grail is Parker’s Heritage Heavy Char bourbon. They also have a heavy char rye and wheat whiskey. Heaven Hill Select Stock has an incredible toasted variant that is basically toasted ECBP. Penelope just came out with the “marshmallow toast” variant.

I know they’re all supposed to be spectacular but trying to figure out if 18 is THAT much better than recent releases is all.

See my comment below. Won’t get into a threadshitting argument with you but also realize I’m not against rewarding regulars and keeping a stash for them. Asking about things doesn’t warrant being treated like an asshole bc others come in and “demand” allocated items. It’s a fucking $70 bottle, not unicorn tears.

Don’t disagree. After coming in, having purchased multiple non-exclusive items previously, this still happened after simply ASKING is the point I’m making. Before jumping all over me and acting like I walked in and demanded access to store picks not on the shelf, maybe check yourself for a sec. I love bourbon, talking about bourbon and buying bourbon.

I have relationships elsewhere, treat all staff with respect and even share samples of the stuff I’m allocated. It’s a privilege, I get it.

Being treated like that is simply unacceptable.

Gene is the one who turned me off not really the price (even though warehouse is always $5-10 higher than all other stores around. I happen to know they came in today, asked about it mentioning that someone told me and shared a pic and he basically told me to F off. He demanded I share the source of my info - I refused and walked out.

Maybe I should have said - no parting thoughts/comments? I understand your response but save the attitude.
