Anybody had the Penelope Estate Collections that recently dropped? Grabbed one today after heard many people talk about how great it is, so we’ll see.
 
If anyone is interested, the Knob Creek 18 this year is much better than last year’s. I haven’t had batch 1, but 3 is definitely good. I also have not been seeing much markup on them.
The Penelope Estate Collection 9 year is solid, but I am not as big a fan as a lot of people seem to be.

Look at these prices here in the Minneapolis area. Unfortunately, I posted it in the Nebraska Bourbon Discord and now I’m getting asked to mule RRSP out of here.
That, and the Evan Williams Single Barrel are the only ones that look to be great values. The HH Grain to Glass is a good price compared to what you normally see it for, but still overpriced for what you get.

I havent seen it for less than $240ish, worth it?
 
Anybody relatively local to Lincoln who has a Colonel Taylor that would want to figure out a trade for a Blanton’s?

Itching for some EH and can’t get one before the weekend.

Dad found this for $70 in Sioux City last week. He wanted a good bottle to share during thanksgiving. This is excellent neat, have yet to actually try a little ice with it. Anyone else ever try this brand? They had a rye and a $120 bottle of bourbon next to it (can’t remember what exactly it was called off the top of my head).

I have one, but that’s one part of my collection. I’ll look around here in Omaha tomorrow though and if I get one, I’ll hit you up.
 
My wife got me the flaviar advent calendar for my dad and I again this year. Thought I’d share some of the good ones. Dad and I both liked this one neat, the butter hit right away obviously. Didn’t really notice the oak flavor. Enjoyed it so much I never even tried adding a little ice/water to see what it tasted like.

This one neat the sweetness really rolls into the pepper taste. With ice it brought the cherry flavor out.
My bourbon group is doing our own advent calendar where we each supplied a bottle for samples with a $50+ bottle. Been pretty awesome so far.
Also, my shop just released that frequent buyers are eligible for the bonus bottle draw (largest spender picks first), in addition to the normal end of year draw. Here are the bonus options. What would you pick?

Rock Hill Farms is the best I’ve ever had. But I’d like to try ORVW
