Great choice!

I bought myself a couple nice single malts for myself for Christmas and then my wife bought me a couple more for Christmas so I'm set for a bit!

Before starting my Christmas vacation I bought a $16 1.75 bottle of a 3 year old bourbon. I can't recall it's name but 86 proof 3 years in white oak. I hope it's as tasty as R+R Reserve Canadian for $17.88

Retail. Complete stroke of luck. Popped into a liquor store in a small town north of Wichita and it was on the shelf. I nearly shit myself

Hell of a find.

Best post in this thread in years.

Congrats man. Hell of a find.

Hey Lewdog, I have an idea: how would you like to lead a bourbon tasting for the Phoenix Meetup group? You are certainly getting into the Bourbon Connoisseur level.

Select maybe 5-7 to taste over the course of an evening and we can all meet at Bourbon and Bones in Old Town or a similar place and do a tasting with your narration.

Thoughts?

Thanks. It's delicious. Gonna be hard to stay out of it

Which liquor store, if you don't mind me asking. TIA

Never been a big whiskey/bourbon/scotch drinker until last year. At least straight. Started off late fall last year just buying cheaper bottles & trying them. Been moving up to more expensive bottles over the year. This thread is full of things to try.

I actually bought 6 bottles last December. Randomly went into Gomers in Lenexa when they were stocking the shelf with a new shipment and bought them all.

This is bottle #3 since then.

Just got a gift basket from a production partner Tuesday that had a bottle of Remus Repeal Reserve III in it.

Cracked it open last night and it is...FANTASTIC. One of the best bourbons I've had in some time. Check out the mixture on the front of the bottle.

Definitely recommend if you come across it!

The family and I were in D.C. last weekend and the restaurant/bar we ate at was doing a 13 days of bourbon promotion. I had a glass of Old Rip Van Winkle's 10 year Bourbon. The pour was $14 and I wasn't familiar with it, so I googled it... Per google, it's $999.99 per 750 ml. bottle. So, yeah I had the pour and it was absolutely fantastic.

What's retail price of that these days? I saw a bottle of EC 18 on the shelf at a Total Wine a couple years ago and it was something like $140 or $160. I remember looking it up and seeing that that was actually a good price for it compared to the secondary pricing at most stores. I still passed on it. I later tried a pour of it somewhere and was glad I passed. It was solid - just not worth over $100 to me.

Never had it. Thanks for sharing!

:eek: :drool: Awesome deal. I would drank half the bottle if possible.

I'll be down there from the 30th to the 5th and from the 17th on. Let's make this happen.
