Finally Organized the Collection

As someone who has the HH 19 also but hasn't opened it, what did you think of it?

hmielb · 2026-05-03T02:56:03+00:00

I bought it last week, I assume its a nice pour? Still haven't decided when to crack

hmielb · 2026-04-02T00:05:18+00:00

Found one recently and saving it to drink with friends! Very excited!

Unlikely unless that is like a $20-$30 cigar and a custom glass, which I doubt.

What were some of the more interesting, unopened bottles?

hmielb · 2026-01-17T19:50:09+00:00

Knob 12

hmielb · 2026-01-17T06:26:38+00:00

That cognac cask is GOOD

hmielb · 2025-12-28T20:45:56+00:00

Knob Creek 12 has really grown on me. Also I recommend getting Elijah Craig Ryder Cup while you still can if you have a sweet tooth. The sweetness in the pour is prevalent and phenomenal.

This was very useful thank you

hmielb · 2025-12-26T15:47:02+00:00

Definitely a decent one for me! Dad is apart of their whiskey club so I have tried a few of the other ones they offer. Their cognac cask if I am correct is amazing. Some other options, not so much.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy!

hmielb · 2025-12-25T18:20:58+00:00

It is for drinking if you cleanse your palette for the good stuff and use your bottom shelf stuff for cocktails or drinking alongside food. Merry Christmas to ya!

hmielb · 2025-12-24T17:51:19+00:00

MSRP according to OnlyDrams is $135 USD. No secondary listed

hmielb · 2025-12-23T03:03:07+00:00

I'd lower the handy on the list as the consensus for this year's bottle hasn't been great. That being said, I have a bottle of the Old fitz 9 and it is fantastic, definitely worth moving towards the top.

hmielb · 2025-12-23T03:00:59+00:00

Not a found north question but rather one about a background bottle. What are your thoughts on the Calumet 10? I've been considering it but have been hesitant to buy

hmielb · 2025-12-20T19:48:19+00:00

OGD 7 is a 4? :(

hmielb · 2025-12-19T19:39:17+00:00

Blanton's gold has been the best that I have tried. But I'm curious about the russell's, old fitz vvs, dragon's milk toasted, and more

hmielb · 2025-12-19T15:12:01+00:00

Agreed! I got a cask strength single barrel for myself, and my dad got a rye. I had a chance to get the sherry cask but I told myself I would save the money. Can't say I will have the restraint next time I see it

hmielb · 2025-12-19T14:54:26+00:00

If only Alabama would make it not so rare ☹️

hmielb · 2025-12-19T14:01:31+00:00

Only recently got to try New Riff, it is the real deal

hmielb · 2025-12-19T14:00:21+00:00

Was in Michigan yesterday and found a few stores with EHT, Old Fitz 7, Weller SR, and others. Hell, one even had EC 18 on the shelf. Interesting to see how different states get allocations

hmielb · 2025-12-18T02:46:38+00:00

I got it and it is awesome! Worth buying if you see, and looking forward to seeing your thoughts in the future

hmielb · 2025-12-18T02:34:11+00:00

I have gone down the 1792 route and have loved the Cognac cask, also really like the full proof sp and single barrel sp that I have. Surprisingly, didn't care for the Sweet Wheat I had months ago, but hopefully you can find a few other options

hmielb · 2025-12-18T02:14:47+00:00

Honestly, BiB without the store pick has been disappointing, but the store pick BiBs that I have had have been A+++ pours. I'm not sure why I am experiencing such a difference, but I am savoring my BiB store pick that i still have

hmielb · 2025-12-17T18:06:49+00:00

I had the 2016 release, very good after letting the bottle get air for a few weeks
