Nice, I'm a big fan of 1920. What do you think of the JD Single Barrel Barrel Proof? Been eyeing a bottle of that for a while.

Take your pick.

Hard bottle to photo nicely, but tapping this tonight.

Just into the Rum, Black like my heart.

Gazprom Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels with maple syrup.

Looks like the Costco sized bottle. I enjoy Gentleman Jack also.

I found them, one has less than I recall, maybe I used it in a cocktail. The other bottle says “Single Barrel Select, selected for Twins Liquors by Harlen Wheatley.” The employee at Twins said they are only ones to get these bottles, I don’t know, I didn’t investigate, just bought it. The other bottle wasn’t bought at Twins so I’m not sure what to believe.
Anyways, they’re yours if you want. If not, no worries I’ll make more cocktails.

I looked it up, the store selects a barrel from samples of ER and those are their “Single Barrel Select” bottles.

Orange fever · 05-08-2020, 07:53 PM

Yes but only 3

Happy to do this trade. Move to PM?

Pretty good juice. Extremely complex - getting tobacco, peanut butter, chocolate in addition to the traditional honey and caramel notes. Very hot though. I do love high proof, but this came out a little rough for me. Not as smooth as ECBP which is a higher proof... Could be the bottle I got. Still would recommend a try!

How is this? Store near me has it in stock and I keep passing it up.

Opened up some Russel's last night. Very pleased.

Store selects are fairly common thing for most liquors. I would say that I have had one or two that were not as good as the normal stuff, but a very vast majority of them are much better than what you normally get, especially if the store you get it from has a good whiskey taster.

Murf993 · 05-11-2020, 09:47 AM

A little Johnny Walker Gold last night to finish the evening.

One of my favorite "daily drinker" bottles. Surprisingly smooth for 125 proof. It's around $60 here locally, when you can find it.

Gotcha, I’ve been buying mostly overseas and they don’t offer that over there/where I lived or on Amazon.de. It looks like we are making the trade so he’ll have to let us know if it was a good selection or not.
Thanks!

Was looking for a sipper. Very smooth with a couple splashes of spring water.

It definitely is not as prevalent, but I do have a few store pick scotches...

Pretty close to the Holy Grail of Bourbon...

I am going to have to disagree with you there. Very overrated for sure. Possibly worth the ~$200 it costs retail, but I was not super impressed.
