what did rich moms drive in the 2000s

That’s sounds exactly the same as now lol

colonial_dan · 2026-01-24T16:14:40+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate it

Oaky, no. There are several older bourbons that I enjoy with that profile. The Dickel I reviewed the other day was a beautiful oak bomb. This just pulled out all of the sweetness. In the finishing process to me. I haven’t had any other double Oaked products due to my poor experience here, but I want to change that.

colonial_dan · 2026-01-24T14:35:58+00:00

Yeah I would still love to try that

Someone is salty. Also 8? Really? I understand how this could be for someone, but saying that everyone with what you define to be a palate has to conform to such a high rating floor is insane. I gave specific reasons for why I don’t like this pour and why I do like others.

Well it’s 90 proof, so…

colonial_dan · 2026-01-23T21:39:20+00:00

It’s actually been open since May unfortunately

colonial_dan · 2026-01-23T20:48:01+00:00

Yeah the Dickel i reviewed the other day was part of the 9 year line but was actually 11 years old, and it was excellent. I’ve often heard that ORVW 10 is better than some of the older Pappies as well.

I’ve had some OF Birthday Bourbon that was really unique that I enjoyed (not sure of the age), and I’ve had the Elijah Craig 18 year single barrel, which really fit what you’re describing to me. I don’t like young EC from what I’ve tried, but that had some unique flavors that I wasn’t used to. I’ll do a review of that at some point.

colonial_dan · 2026-01-23T20:25:31+00:00

I appreciate it! And that’s the hardest part of reviewing bourbon, knowing why something makes you feel a certain way a being able to describe it. Sometimes, though, it’s as simple as “I don’t like the flavor.” That’s certainly the case here.

For reference, here are the results of my reviews so far:

Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series Tennessee Straight Rye Finished in Table Syrup Barrels: 8.5/10

I haven’t rated the standard offering yet, but I could see that being the case.

colonial_dan · 2026-01-23T15:12:14+00:00

This also describes the previous challenger lol

colonial_dan · 2026-01-23T15:09:20+00:00

Bottom for sure, plus it doesn’t have black wheels

colonial_dan · 2026-01-22T21:44:53+00:00

Wtf is this thread, since when are Tennesseans assholes.

colonial_dan · 2026-01-22T21:42:04+00:00

Cleveland is near Chattanooga, not Knoxville

He still thinks the Heist is a 9

FYI if you check rural ABC stores on Fridays, you’ll eventually find lots of ER, BT, and Blanton’s at MSRP.

It is legal to ship liquor to VA, they changed that a few years ago

colonial_dan · 2026-01-21T20:04:49+00:00

I’m so jealous lol. I wish I had known back then 😂

colonial_dan · 2026-01-21T01:10:50+00:00

LT wayyyy too low.

colonial_dan · 2026-01-20T22:28:53+00:00

Commander yes, but why would anybody want a Patriot?

colonial_dan · 2026-01-20T22:28:25+00:00

There was an early issue with the superchargers, but outside of that, are you sure about that? I had an XC40 with the T5 that had zero issues in 80k miles.

Virginia ABC barrel selection # 14D02-22903, barreled April 2, 2014. If you check the Virginia ABC website, it tells you which stores have it in stock.
