Drinking a couple 8 yr WFE bourbons this evening. Celebrating a promotion I gave myself
Thanks to those that provided them and to me for the promotion.
Don't you love it when you do that?!
Picked these up today. My local FWGS store had these Eagle Saz Special Barrel Selects for $41ea and this OESO when I stopped in on my way home from work today.
I can't wait to taste The Reserve and The Infinite!! They were $200ea

Killed this after our elk hunt this week. Very smooth
How's that going for you???!!
Honestly, pretty similar I feel. The 10 is middle of the road proof at 115. I’ll try my 120 next to it in a bit
Edit. 120 much closer to the proof of the 11 yr I think but flavors are are similar. I love WFE

Enjoying a wonderful sample from an awesome forum member! Thanks again!
This is like the best Antique 107 you ever had with more delicious age and oak. Wonderful and polite with a savory finish. Ooooooo man these Old Rips are great.

Side by side fresh cracks. Gotta get fired up for this NLDS start. Go Phils!!
Up first is The Infinite and it's got that signature toffee, peanut brittle and brown sugar on the nose. Smells like an amazing desert
Update.
What a nice mouth feel, long lasting finish with just the right amount of oak and a nice cherry flavor left in the mouth to chew on that long lasting finish.
Definitely unique and not your typical Bookers flavor. You can taste the age in this bottle. I really like it. Especially with a nice desert after dinner.

The Reserve
All I can say is, wow. This is the clear winner for me out of the two. Every sip I can't wait to go back for me. So tasty, butterscotch, vanilla, lighter on the peanut brittle, toffee. I just love this bottle. If you can find one, but it

Well since I’m all outta Howitzers, I’ll have some rum.
Not as high end as what you guys are having this evening, but I'm having some Modelo Negros. Marinating some chops for the grill, local farm market broccoli ready to steam and some potatoes being baked. Comfort food and cold beer 
Tomorrow local club having PRS 22 match, need to gather everything after dinner. Then some Woodford Double Oaked for dessert .

Wow. I like these Barrel series quite often. This 16yr is hot but is delicious with some H2O.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I got a Willett-like funk from it. But yep, this one is hot. Still tasty but on the hot side.
EH
That's expensive but it's one of my favorite pours.. i know a lot of people that buy it all day if it's $100 or less...
It's $44 here in PA
When I go back tomorrow to buy the rest of the bottles I'll give the other a try. The EH and eagle rare is like H4350. First time I have tried eagle rare. It's definitely nice pour. Will try EH tomorrow. Hurricane party and all
I picked up a bottle of EHT SB 2 weeks ago for 45 and a bottle of ER for 39.99 last week. Thats the MSRP on those bottles. There are very few bottles I would pay over MSRP on, and those 2 are not it.
Get to Buffalo Trace before it opens. The lines will be awful if you don't.
Definitely do the Evan Williams experience. We forgot where we parked the car. . .
Make your reservations at all of them you intend to visit. Even if it’s just tastings. You don’t need to see the entire process more than once. We went in May for the PGA Championship. Fabulous trip. If staying in Louisville, do yourself a favor and go eat at La Bodegita de Mimi. Absolutely the best Cuban food I’ve ever hadGet to Buffalo Trace before it opens.

Michters does drops on Tuesdays more often then other days…. Or so they have said
@padom , found a bottle of this locally $33 after reading your thoughts on it. Best sleeper I have found since John J Bowman. Truly excellent!
^^^^^^Ooooooo!^^^^
I was in Louisiana and stopped to try and find Blantons. The resident whisky expert told me if you like Blantons you will love this stuff. John J Bowman ,$19, said what the heck and bought it. Shoulda tried it in the parking lot and gone back in and bought a case. I think I found four bottles before they hit it big and disappeared.
How does it taste and can you find it?

From my understanding John J Bowman is Blantons distillate. And most of them do say they do taste similar.
The whispers are Bowman is both Buffalo Trace Mash Bills #1 and #2 (EH #1 and Blantons #2) and its twice distilled at BT then distilled a 3rd time at Bowman. Bowman was its own company but was bought by Sazerac a while ago...
I love Bowman Single Barrels!
Had to rinse my mouth out 
This shit is excellent. Hard to find now. Word is out I guess.
