Lots of interesting bourbons to try at a herf I attended all weekend.
Al Young Four Roses 50th
King of Kentucky single barrel
Parker Double Barreled
Old Stitzel Weller Old Fitzgerald, bottled in 1969.
An amazing barrel pick by a private group, they took a barrel from Beam of Booker's and finished it in a Four Roses tasted barrel for 197 days. It tastes like toasted Booker's and is delicious.
Even had a "tater" Booker's label.
Elijah Criag Barrel Proof batch 3, hazmat at 140 proof.
And through the generosity of a couple friends, I was able to bring home the remaining "Toasted Booker's" and the ECBP.

Looks like some great stuff! I haven't had any bourbon since my surgery and it's driving me crazy. Hopefully next week.Lots of interesting bourbons to try at a herf I attended all weekend.

Fingers crossed for you, Joe!
Picked this up yesterday. Finished up some wild Turkey 101 which I like pretty well. Liked it better than the rare breedalso had some old grandad bonded. Decent but not close to the 114 old grandad which I think is great
had some Michters also. Pretty good. I’ll try to grab a picture of that one next time I have some.

The rare Breed is 108 proof as well, correct Jake? Interesting that the 101 is beter.
I had some more of Binny's MM pick last night, it's a solid pick, but I like their regular wood finished releases better.
The rare breed is higher I don’t exactly recall. I mentioned in this thread I didn’t care much for it. It was certainly drinkable but I was pretty happy pouring the last pour. I mentioned I thought maybe just a bad batch. Hard to know I guess. I’ll buy the 101 again. I’d like to try the rare breed again but I doubt I’ll buy it after the last bottle. It just tasted off to meThe rare Breed is 108 proof as well, correct Jake? Interesting that the 101 is beter.

Have you tried the grandad 114?? I’d love to hear your opinionThe rare Breed is 108 proof as well, correct Jake? Interesting that the 101 is beter.

Jake, I have not! love lots of WT and Russell's versions so I need to bite the bullet and spend that sawbuck to give it a try. I take it you're a fan?
Yeah I’m a big fan. For sub 30$ there’s a lot going for it. The fellas at cigarbid pointed me in that direction. A lot of those guys drink better bourbon than I can afford and they suggested trying it. I’ve picked up a bottle every time I run out so it’s been a repeat buy. My drinking buddy got me to grab him a bottle too. I think you’d enjoy it
