Starting with a blind of two good wheaters with essentially the same MSRP, but over 10x difference in secondary.

The Weller sib narrowly won the blind. It was splitting hairs. As several have said, get the Bardstown without hesitation.

First full pour is surprisingly Minnick's 11th. I think it's kind of in the middle of the Stagg (jrs) I've had. I'm sure the proof played a role since he tried so many in one night.

I'm not saying it'd win every blind, but this is my bottle of the year. It's essentially coy hill at OWA proof.

I was gifted this for Christmas. I tried sipping but it is way too sweet at too low of a proof for me.

Has anyone had it? Its so incredibly sweet, it seems flavored. I may try it in coffee

I think prices and supply are meeting at a point that most people just won’t pay. I stopped at two stores in Ky today. Both had last two batches of Old Carter Bourbon and Rye Prices at $299 guy said they were not moving at one place. Also AE Cask Strength was $279 hard pass. They had 8 bottles. I picked up

RR pick 10 year Camp Nelson WH A
Bardstown Labaude
ECBP 9 year old pick
Wilderness Trail 8 year Wheater
Barel Bourbon Private Pick
Evan Williams Single Barrell

I was just thinking this the other day. I’ve seen multiple bottles recently that would normally fly off the shelf collecting dust. And this is in Mississippi where the allocations are so low that people are usually willing to pay ridiculous prices.

Nice pickup! I got the 13 a while back. Penelope is putting out a lot of good stuff.

1st for me is a special one that I've been too reluctant to pour.

The prior Obtainium bottles had this distinctive bubble gum profile. Penelope finishing them in a second barrel has brought out some additional profiles like vanilla and cinnamon .. def worth a pick up, really enjoying it.

Damn right….my fam knows I’m in this rare Bourbon game. They always ask what I would do if I ever get an allocated bottle of like Pappy 23. I’m like I’d drink it and share it with you assholes like I do damn near every other bottle I acquire…..they seem shocked.

Ironically that's the only other GTS I've owned. Both are very good, although they're at opposite ends of the proof range. I remember people whining about proof online. Obviously they didn't bother to actually try it.

I might as well have a stock photo for 2pd
