There’s a bourbon thread on cigar bid. One of the regulars posts the 114 regular enough. He drinks good stuff. Better than the stuff I’d usually buy for myself so figured I’d give it a go.Old Tub is $19 around here, Jake. It's got some of that Beam peanut funk and is not a bad pour. I'll pick up a bottle if I'm going to an event where I know others who are drinking bourbon probably add a half a can of Coke.
My budget go-to when I can find it is Early Times Bottled in Bond, $26 for a liter. I am intrigued by that OG 114 though.
Never saw a bottle of that. What’s the story ?Elijah Craig private barrel last night.
Jake, Heaven Hill started letting stores and/or groups choose single barrels a couple years ago. Lots of liquor store chains near me have offered them, and I've seen some marketed by companies with an online presence. They range from 8 years to 11 years, and I've seen proofs as low as 108, and over hazmat on the high end. My favorites have been low proof 11 year picks and high proof 8 year picks.Never saw a bottle of that. What’s the story ?
I’ll have to check around. I don’t have many large stores immediately close to me. That’s why I picked up several bottles the other day. My local wanted 120$ for Elijah barrel proof. I passed found one up north later for 80$. Same batch….Jake, Heaven Hill started letting stores and/or groups choose single barrels a couple years ago.

Best idea is definitely just to hunt around when you can, Jake. A few groups sell them online but they're overpriced. I've traded for a few in some FB bourbon groups, but I won't pay $100+ for it.I’ll have to check around. I don’t have many large stores immediately close to me.

Yeah 80$ is the old 60$. Bout my cap. Sure I’ll go a little more on something randomBest idea is definitely just to hunt around when you can, Jake. A few groups sell them online but they're overpriced. I've traded for a few in some FB bourbon groups, but I won't pay $100+ for it.
