re: Whiskey/Bourbon/Scotch appreciation thread

Does your Costco have private selection or just the regular single barrel? The selection at mine is pretty boring except you can get blantons for $52 and bookers for $47

yeah okay

Troll score 87/100

I'm guessing it's standard 4RSB

Eta: ehh if Brent's there, they may have gotten their hands on a barrel.

Looks like they just had a bunch of barrels left and mixed them all together. Probably why it was only $30.

Ohh nice. One of those shape changing bottles

Lol, that ain't the same bottle

He got a dickey-do

Ok....not really one to gravitate to Old Grand Dad. In fact, I've never bought it before. Have become something of a snob I guess. So, when my mother passed, I was left with this gallon bottle on a rocker of Old Grand Dad. It's 86 proof. The bottle belonged to my grand father and I remember playing around it as a kid. This would put the bottle's age of about 45 years old. I had been doing research on the bottle to see if it was worth anything or if i could drink it. Found dollar value wasn't much as that much bourbon is worth so much more to me! The bottle had been open previously so I was worried if it had been spoiled by too much alcohol evaporating. I was out of bourbon and on my way home and didn't feel like going to the store to by something else. Figured this was the time to try it out and if it was bad I'd toss it and keep the bottle since it had the family name engraved on it. Well, it's fantastic. Mild, caramel, vanilla...didn't expect this from Old Grand Dad, but maybe that's because it's about 45 years old. gonna plow through this pretty quickly if I don't get it in a decanter. Don't need any more alcohol to evaporate.
