That is awesome. Hell, I was happy when I found the EH Taylor single barrel for $55.

Scored a Pappy in the wild today! My Folks live in Knoxville and McScrooges did their big Pappy sale today. My Mom ended up going early and standing in line with about 100 other people for 2 hours. Apparently now its a Christmas gift though.

Eagle Rare 17 coming

---

Speaking of Eagle rare 17 look what just arrived in the mail. The wlw and stagg were from a couple weeks ago all 2013 release.



And this came today, I traded one of my JPS 18 Single barrels for this one since mine were from the same barrel.



And the ever growing stack of boxes holding my extras and some singles that I dont have the room for at home for now.

Not much of a bourbon/whiskey/scotch drinker, but i do enjoy a good bourbon occasionally. I get the weekly emails from caskers.com and i saw this whiskey, which has me very intrigued, and am wondering if anyone else has had it.

Pine Barrens Single Malt Whisky is distilled from bottle-ready Old Howling Bastard beer (10.0% ABV). The beer, which is made from English two-row barley and Vienna malt, has a robust caramel flavor that is nicely balanced by strong notes of hops. “All whiskies start out as beer, but 99.999% of those beers are undrinkable before you distill them,” says Stabile. “We started our whisky-making process with a great, high quality, drinkable beer and distilled it in micro-batches.”

Working from his distillery situated on the North Fork peninsula of Long Island, Stabile, together with his team of distillers, distilled 850 gallons of the beer through twin, 650-liter custom-made copper pot stills equipped with 30-foot tall rectification distillation columns, turning it into 100 gallons of whisky. The whisky was then brought to 125 proof with water sourced from an aquifer beneath the 100,000-acre Pine Barrens Forest Preserve and aged in 10-gallon, charred oak casks for just over two months. Stabile then brought the whisky down to 95 proof and aged it for another 10-12 months. After maturation, each bottle was filled and labeled by hand.
Pine Barrens Single Malt has a rich, heady aroma with subtle notes of vanilla, malt and a touch of sweetness. The barley ale gives the single malt a smooth mouthfeel, while the oak casks provide for warming notes of caramel that ultimately lead to a smooth and memorable finish.

Where did you pull your btac from?

Garymyman is not going to be happy to hear that. You pulled those right out from under him.

It wasn't those areas
