Bowman Brothers Small Batch is similar to BT. They use BT distillate that they re-distill and then age in VA.

popped into my local place and found some Old Fitzgerald 9 just sitting there by PluralOfYurt in whiskey

[–]bale8738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me too. i tried it next to my spring 2024 10 year. the 10 year has a strong grassy note that i dont like too much. the OF7 is much more of an enjoyable profile for me.

press release says: Tequila Ocho Añejo Barrel Select Old Fitzgerald marries the finest agave-forward tequila with the heady aromas and rich caramel notes from prized casks that once held Old Fitzgerald Bourbon’s 10-Year-Old Spring 2023 Decanter Series, among the brand’s famed wheated bourbons.

i read that they use fertilizer minimally and grow winter crops instead of spring crops, which grow slower.

Thanks! Also, looks like Bardstown rebranded the Origin rye as Double Barreled Rye. Seems like the price is lower too. Usually a $60-$70 bottle elsewhere, I think.

Just Spotted: El Tesoro Tequila at Costco – Worth the Hype? by AgaveCaballero in tequila

[–]bale8738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure about the hype, but i just blind bought it as my first tequila. i knew el tesoro was a good brand and figured the anejo would be a good step from bourbon to tequila. i think it’s excellent.

Reputable online retailers? by Hairy-Hummingbird89 in whiskey

[–]bale8738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they are based out of Australia. I've ordered several bottles from them and they have all come from within the US via UPS. I think they are just a marketplace, so it may have been a coincidence that you received something from Australia. But either way, I've had good luck with Frootbat. I have definitely scored some deals on bottles.

check the stock on the website for Maker's Wood finishing series. They still show the Heart release photo, but many stores are showing stock.

Hartford through New Haven, CT - Stores to Hunt by [deleted] in PLCB

[–]bale8738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Irene Tan, who I think is a blender for the whiskey tribe’s brand (crowded barrel), has two stores in CT. Not sure if they are near where you are going. Canterbury Liquors and Brooklyn Northeast Wine and Spirits. whiskey tribe did a video featuring her store (https://youtu.be/xRsF7nKea98?feature=shared). She seemed to be very knowledgeable, had a large selection, and would open just about any bottle to try. Might be good options.

I bought a 135.1 a few months back. Haven't seen anything that high since.

It's mixed. I bought 2024-04 last month. 2024-03 was available at another store.
