Noted on that Old Forester. Gonna keep my eye out.This might be another one that goes up in price soonColonel E.H. Taylor - Small batch.40-45 bucks. 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.This isn't bourbon but some people may be interested (i like it all). Not sure if there is a Scotch thread but the EA board isn't as active as it used to be so maybe they can all be discussed here.ABERFELDY 12 YEAR OLD - Single MaltHow was this 35 dollars? This might be like...top 10 for me.I do enjoy the super smokey scotch that is available but I can only have one or two in a sitting.This has a little smoke, a little bite. The taste has so much going on I would have thought it was a blend.Also. Mandy and I are going to Scotland in May for a week. We may never return.

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..

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 description. Compared to the OF 1920: less heat, more oak (12-15 year juice in this bottle as previously mentioned) and just generally more intense flavors.Wish I still had some Elijah Craig Barrel Proof left to do a little blind tasting with.Anyway, super highly recommend picking up an LL/G date-code bottle of Rare Breed if you find one.
