Late night update. Old Forester original batch is kinda boring and uncomplex sadly.

Anyone have this?
One of the other batches perhaps?

I have never had it but hear it is excellent. Someone on here posted it was probably the best they have ever had awhile ago.padelimike wrote:Pa. people:

You put the Scotch back in the boxes when they're not posing for photos, right?o4phish20o wrote:My Jameson & J. Walker stash ...
Looks like you need a Johnnie Gold 18 Year...

Nah, the entire closet/room is set up for wine...it's temperature controlled and completely dark when lights are turned off. Even merlot walls/ceiling.padelimike wrote:You put the Scotch back in the boxes when they're not posing for photos, right?o4phish20o wrote:My Jameson & J. Walker stash ...

Honestly I don't even really drink Johnnie Walker... all of that is for my friends when they come over.
Couple of the Explorer Collections are pretty tasty though; picked them up at duty free shops in a few different parts of the world.

that was my other guess but I was too lazy to type it out.o4phish20o wrote:the entire closet/room is set up for wine...it's temperature controlled and completely dark when lights are turned off. Even merlot walls/ceiling.
Of the Johnnies, I think I like the discontinued Gold Label and the Swing Scotch most of all.

I had batch one and killed a bottle in under a week it was that good. Hunted down a second bottle and tried to ration it but it only last two weeks.Danno1 wrote:I have never had it but hear it is excellent.

At a local, I believe it's the first time I have found this while not actually in KY. Must have just put them out last night. Guy behind us in line had 3 bottles and said that someone called him to let him know they were available.

When did Eagle Rare 10 Year stop being a single barrel, and are single barrel bottles still available?Danno1 wrote:At a local, I believe it's the first time I have found this while not actually in KY.
I have one unopened 1.75, and it's a single barrel.
Anyone notice a big difference when it changed?
a little... The non-single barrel Eagle Rare 10 year is still better than most in that price range, however. I have bottles of both and have tasted them side by side on many occasion. I was recently gifted a bottle of 20 year Barterhouse... despite the controversy, i must say i'm a fan. A lot of fun. Unfortunately, i'm off the sauce for a few months now due to medical reasons.padelimike wrote:When did Eagle Rare 10 Year stop being a single barrel, and are single barrel bottles still available?Danno1 wrote:At a local, I believe it's the first time I have found this while not actually in KY.
