Thanks man! I got lucky and was first in line at a bourbon lottery and surprisingly they allowed me to grab multiple bottles. Typically you're only allowed to grab one premium bottle so this was a freaking treat!

Not a bad plan either way. Could also trade it for other juice!The 18 is more complex but the 12 is a really good sipper, definitely can't go wrong with either.
I'm trying to decide if I want to crack that GTS for the holidays or flip for a handsome profit

Ended up flipping it and made $600, it also paid for the Blantons STFB which is liquid candy! We have 2 more lotteries that I'm going to go to before Christmas so I might get another opportunity to snag one but it's hard to pass up a profit like that so quickly.

Understandable! Great score all around. I love the Straight from the Barrel. So much good stuff. I was casually drinking some Michter's 10, Weller 12 Yr, Birthday and Very Old St. Nick the other night and it hit me today what a solid lineup it was to be sipping around the table.

It was this one and it was sweet! I was not ready for how sweet it was as I grabbed it without reading the key element of MAPLE.

Appreciate that! There's a bottle catching dust locally and thought about pulling the trigger but I am not crazy about Maply sweet in my bourbon, it's why I don't drink Woodford reserve double oak because it's too maple sweet for me.It was this one and it was sweet!

I must've been on Santas good list this year because I just got a call from my local liquor store for this 12 year PVW at MSRP!

Have you cracked it yet and if so what did you think? I thought the 12 was good, the 15 for the price is amazing, then the more aged I just kept thinking about the $.

I've yet to pop it. I'm thinking Christmas but I did try a sample a month ago and it was good. I definitely need to sip more to give a better assessment. It's a little light since it's proofed down, I prefer cask strength but it is smooth going down.

Yeah if you prefer a cask strength then the PVW 12 won’t be your wheelhouse, but it’s still something you have to grab as a bourbon head. Happy sipping brother, that’s a great Christmas Day sip

Very nice. The Taylor BP is one of my favorites and I usually enjoy the ECBP and ER as well. Merry Christmas to you!

Merry Christmas to you! Haven’t had the EC 18 year yet so curious how it will be considering it's proofed down to 90. I really like those EC barrel proof. Agree on the Taylor barrel proofVery nice.
