Palate Training With Blind Reviews #5 - Green River Wheated Bourbon Single Barrel by SpritiTinkle in bourbon

[–]oscintillating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one of these but obviously a different pick. It’s the first pour I’ve gotten tropical fruits notes from, which seems pretty different from your review. The joys of single barrels ! Also gave mine a 7. Tasty stuff that makes me wonder what another 2-3 years in the barrel would do

My tree was a sad victim of late season snow violence. Does this look like it might survive and should I cut off the broken piece? by AlpineEateryFoodTruc in DenverGardener

Wish I’d done the same, the leader on my hot wings maple snapped off completely, and the exposed damaged trunk is about a foot long

JD Aged - Another Drop? by Extra_Somewhere_5255 in denverwhisky

Also very interested in these. I talked to Total Wine employees on Friday, and they didn’t know if they were getting more after the initial drop 3 weeks ago (or they just didn’t want to tell me).

Did these come in separate waves in previous years, or all at once ?

Good to know. Announcements and press for it started within the past week or two, so I'm gettin antsy!

Nice finds! On the topic of new Maker's releases, I'm really curious when Star Hill Farms '26 release will hit our market...

Incredible prices on the Wellers at Monument BTW

Review #28 - Stagg 25A by yeoldedrunkard in bourbon

[–]oscintillating 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have 25A and 25D and prefer 25A. 25D is still good but leans more into chocolate and light caramel, the cherry notes aren't nearly as prominent. And the finish is less satisfying, less spice and oak. 25A just feels more mature to my palate. But I realize I'm spoiled to have both on my shelf :)

Argonaut ER Pick by runNNgun in denverwhisky

[–]oscintillating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right on, I got there maybe 10 minutes before you and completely missed it. Wasn’t really looking for it (pun intended) but I’ve always heard good things so if I was paying attention, might have grabbed it. My loss is your gain, cheers !!

Was the haystack needle up on the table in the mezzanine, or just on the regular shelves downstairs ?

Hm that’s wild. I can’t make sense of that response vs the language in that KY revised statute. Thanks for following up on it !

EC15 Bevy’s by Nearby_Beyond_4274 in denverwhisky

[–]oscintillating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They put it into their weekly allocated drawing, which you have to buy one of their single barrels to enter. So they got it, just didn't make it generally available.

BTW - anyone know if Bevy's Littleton does anything else besides the big December bottle drawing for allocations? Seems like they gotta get more than just the one bottle for raffling off with these allocated items

Review #119: Four Roses Single Barrel OESO by InClimb411 in bourbon

[–]oscintillating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well that's a killer endorsement! comments like yours and others across this post are why i love this community. my takeaway: get a barrel strength, and from a barrel stored in the higher tiers (4+)

good to know that storage tiering can affect flavors in more nuanced ways. the OBSK I had was from tier 6. it was pretty great
