ChiefsPlanet - Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there?

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?

You're giving me way too much credit. I just like bourbon.

Maybe after we get through the holidays I can get out on a Saturday and join you guys somewhere. Work has been hellish lately so sometime in January will likely be best.

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.

It was $160

Scored a bottle of ORVW through a friend in Phoenix this morning - for RETAIL at Costco. According to his guy only Lexington and Phoenix got 10 bottles each. He’s not a big bourbon guy (scotch drinker), but I’m giving him a nice finders fee.

Look at this receipt.

Hopefully by then eDave will be back from being MIA or else we may need to send out the Batsignal.

On the scotch side, I saw a box that had a bottle of Glenfiddich 14 year bourbon barrel and a bottle of Glenfiddich 15 year solera for $70. I should have bought it but I was too budy stocking up on Lagavulin 16 for $65.

The rest of us (just me) have a case of Eagle Rare in the cabinet and still stoop to trying $17.99 handle bottles of early Buffalo Trace made swill from Walmart under the name of Stedman's Select 3yr 86 proof. a bit of burn but light sour mash set in slightly charred oak.

These guys all have UTube channels...

Not in Wichita. Culver's in McPherson

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

Are you moving?

Are you seriously humble bragging about a box of Eagle Rare? And not only that but then backing it up by humble bragging about drinking 3 year old rotgut that's being sold off by Sazerac for being off-profile and not making the cut for Buffalo Trace?

I'm confused.

Nothing to be confused about, he's an annoying shithead plaguing this board. He and Ubeja are closely related
