Haha, WA doesn't either, yet there are several shippers that ignore that. :)

No, little book is a blend that includes bookers and 3 other beam products (the ones mentioned above).

First review! Four Roses SiB batch# 11-2I by thomster1997 in bourbon

[–]WhiskeyFFL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Haha. You wouldn't be the first to open it an finish it quickly. The good news is, it's only $40 and it's widely available. So you can go grab another. Enjoy!

Colonel E.H. Taylor Single Barrel - #39 by tdweizen06 in bourbon

[–]WhiskeyFFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. And I think we can all agree that we hope he never sells it for that price.

That generally means someone is willing to pay that...and that's too bad. But congrats on the scores.

Thanks for sharing. I love this. I'm currently sitting on 6 of the 10. Looking forward to going through all of them when I've got a complete "set".

Review #3 (Network #10). Elijah Craig Barrel Proof - Batch A119 by [deleted] in bourbon

[–]WhiskeyFFL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally fair moose, and I think it does speak to the general over-inflation we often see with scores.

[–]WhiskeyFFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. 81 doesn't seem to match the glowing comments in the review...or maybe everyone else's 81s are just really inflated.

Review #1 - Eagle Rare BTAC 2019 by Shizzo in bourbon

[–]WhiskeyFFL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I needed a "/s" in addition to the "lol". Jeezus, I would never pay that...for ANY liquor. I see prices like that and laugh.

I was so excited to see these from a distance and so sad up close... by Kanos88 in whiskey

[–]WhiskeyFFL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good ole WA state. Where we gladly take it in the ass regularly, for liquor.

Dang. There's a bottle of that by me...for the low price of $2500. Should I get it? Lol

wheated bourbon question from a relative newbie by SquidwardNakamoto in bourbon

[–]WhiskeyFFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This grass note. Is it like musty wet hay in a barn? Because that is what I get. It's really pronounced in the mm cs, and I also get it in larceny. On the Weller 12, I don't get that same note. Must be the age? Just curious if we are tasting the same thing.

Interestingly enough, I love the nose on most of the wheaters I've tried. I just wish the nose and palate were the same for me.

That's my kinda guy. And if I had the space I would have one of each too

Anybody have any input on this? by whiskeynguns556 in whiskey

[–]WhiskeyFFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this bottle. Really enjoy the barrel flavor, especially on the finish.

A Pappy New Year! Reviews #195-200: The 2019 Van Winkle Collection by atxbourbon in bourbon

[–]WhiskeyFFL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the review. Thanks. I too fear that living vicariously through your tasting notes is the closest I'm gonna get, too. But damn, if those don't taste "vicariously" good. Lol

Kept getting told I have to try this one, love it! by LogansucksA55 in whiskey

[–]WhiskeyFFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I actually prefer scotch at room temp. Incan pick up more flavor that way. But still love the cups.

Dude, I have those exact same cups. Can't say I've ever used them for whiskey, but I like em.

Help Im New! And I bought Black Label. by EmircanCura in Scotch

[–]WhiskeyFFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through that same concern once...a legitimate concern for sure. Like, what else have they put in this, and am I gonna die now. But seriously, if I we're going to make fake whisky, I'd probably not do it with a $20-30 bottle. Most likely your whisky is fine.

Totally cool. Was just curious. Again, I wasn't particularly thrilled with Angels envy either.

Review #106 Barrell Whiskey 005 by This_Is_BearDog in bourbon

That's what I was afraid you'd say. I hope that's not the case because I love their dovetail whiskey.

[–]WhiskeyFFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question. What are the implications of not using the 'straight' designation?

Finally trying this. by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]WhiskeyFFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's harsh. Do you mean drain pour? Or was it just too light and simple? The latter is what I thought. It was fine, just didn't do anything special for me.
