I like it for $15/pour but not blown away by any means. Definitely a good score to find locally. Not worth the high secondary IMO, which could mean nothing to your taste obviously. I really like the full proof store picks I’ve tried and the SiB was pretty good too at $15/pour.
I hear you. I paid over retail but nowhere near secondary. I walked in the store and saw the white/ gold label. They also had Full Proof, 12 Yr and Special Reserve. I can get those on a reasonable timeframe at retail but haven’t seen CYPB in a year or two. I’ll find out this weekend. Cheers!

I had to clean out some bottles today. Rack shelving in the basement can't hold another bottle on any shelf, my display shelves in my office are full, my office counters are getting smaller and smaller usable space from bottles taking over and now my office closet doors won't close because the floor has too many bottles.

I know some of you can't find certain bottles in certain states so I figured I'd post these here first for you guys before I unload them...

All are excellent bottles..these are duplicates/backup bottles of ones I already have open.

PM me if your interested in any of these

This OFSiBBS SP is delicious 134.3 I have 4 of them. I'm gonna let one go.. grrrr





Kentucky Owl St. Patrick's Edition 1st Edition Release (best of all the releases so far IMHO)




Elijah Craig Single Barrel Barrel Proof Store Pick

124.6 10yr old





Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B521






Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Program


 
Love those

I do too! Funny how this bourbon thing works, I've always preferred the 💣 to Shenks each yearly release... Shenks was just meh for me.

But 2023 Shenks was just a home fucking run. One of the most delicious releases I've had the last 2-3 years. 2023 Shenks was my #1 bourbon of 2023.. I couldn't keep my hands off it, killed the bottle in less than 48hr! I had to grab 2 backup bottles and haven't touched them because I know they will be gone in 5 days if I do. I'll open one around the holidays.

I have the 2024 💣 and Shenks arriving Tuesday.
 
It's bottle kill weekend. Cleaned out some bottles and now trying to kill bottles with a drink or two left in them.

These EW SiB Vintage bottles have been my jam for many many years. I heard they stopped selling these outside Kentucky a year or so ago. I would buy them by the case. I'm down to my last 4 or 5 bottles.

Not high proof but such a tasty drinker!

These are super underrated, at least by the masses. Speaking of bourbon storage. I have a couple large boxes squirreled away with a ton of these from 2005 (bourbon of the year) to 2013. 09 is particularly killer I remember. Also ER, ECBP, Baby Saz and others that I stock piled and put away.

I'm not a MM fan at all with one exception. The MM Cask Strength are one of the most underrated and overlooked bottles on the shelf, easy to find.

Drinking a MM CS 110.7 right now that rivals my Van Winkle 12yr Lot B. It's so thick, creamy and delicious. Best part is you can find these on the shelf and under $50






This 25th Anniversary Knob SiB is just, amazing.

One of the best ones I have is a Longhorn Steakhouse barrel pick. 14 yr 🤤
 
Haven’t. Do have an unopened 23 Little Book in stash tho

I'm also on the hunt for the new Little Book "The Infinite" Edition 1 release. Haven't seen any on the shelf yet. Juice blended from all 3 Noe family generations. 18yr juice
