I'd like to see some more action in this thread. Really enjoyed the Robert Petkoff narrated David Foster Wallace stuff I've heard. I started reading Pale King but will probably pick up where I left off with the Petkoff narration.

I did end up grabbing an LL/G bottle of the Rare Breed. Was like five bux over state minimum, no big deal, considering.When I first opened it, I got peanuts like Beam distillate which was off-putting for sure. Gave it a couple days, and man, this stuff is RUDE. Drinks below proof but is rich beyond ...

anyone here had the Old Ezra 7 barrel strength? I was in Grand Rapids last month and passed on it, and at close to state minimum , too. kicking myself..

In an attempt to overcome my preoccupation w/ high proof juice, I recently have been drinking Eagle Rare and a certain Buffalo Trace barrel pick. Both are obviously great, but ultimately it's served to make clear that the proof-whore thing isn't just a phase, and that I just prefer loud flavors. I w...

I'm terrible at the details but it was distinct enough from the other bourbons I put at the top of the list that I'll keep it in rotation.Sadly, in a lot of markets, Michigan's included, EHT is already kind of a ghost.

Old Forester 1920 115 Proof; NAS72% Corn/18% rye/10% Malted Barley Don't let the lack of age statement dissuade you on this one. Yeah, depending on what market you're in, you may be able to find Elijah Craig Barrel Proof -- which is obviously higher proof but also carries a 12 year age statement -- ...

Was going to do a PSA thread on this, but figure a good amount of FMs will already know via certain channels anyway, but uh, Eugene S Robinson is hosting an upcoming podcast. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/oxbows-eug ... XQN6zkT8NQ

The foray into high proof bourbon has proven a slippery slope. Used to be wouldn't have dreamt of anything nicer than a dram of BT. Couple bottles of barrel proof in succession, and anything under 100 proof didn't taste right.Got this Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (batch B518 & 133.4 proof) and now the ...

I'm trying to remember a group, no one too obscure, but experimental, and certainly there's a c/nc thread on them here somewhere. I believe it's a quintet at least, very percussive, at least two drummers, all but one of them wear masks, fairly prolific and somewhat varied output if I recall...UPDATE...

Past few purchases have been very high proof bottles: OGD 114, KC Single Barrel store pick, and 1792 Full Proof store pick. Lesser proof stuff tastes bad now, even selections I used to enjoy.Selling some cymbals to finance a cache of OGD 114. What a insane value.
