I got a bottle from the source, during Labor Day weekend last year. I’ve since had a couple of drinks from it.
I should’ve gotten two, since my non-whiskey drinking girlfriend was with me. My everyday and mixing bourbon is Woodford Reserve; my special straight bourbon had been Angel’s Envy, up until I cracked open the Blanton’s.
So how was it?
I’ve been on a rye kick recently. Actually, the Jim Beam Pre Prohibition Rye is pretty good, and not too pricey.
I think it was a red label. I never saw him smoke. But he was a WWII VET.
How does it smell.... mine smelled like a fine Cognac.
No idea. They’re still sealed in plastic.
I still have that Jeep but it is well played with and busted up. Good for parts, wonder how much it’s worth? Had the Gemini capsule as well, but that gout destroyed when launched into the pool, but missed and hit the patio…
Mine were seal in the plastic too.... but I could smell them thru it.
Yep...The center circle was red...
Oh yeah. I must be groggy, missed that first pass through.
How does it compare to the Four Eye Monongahela?
Extremely silly. I’ll take my 1,500 750ml bottles of Jonnie Walker Black Label instead.
Thanks.
Thanks
I wonder if even a real Whiskey expert could tell the difference - in a blind tasting - between a $100,00-bottle of whiskey and a $10,000-bottle of whiskey.
