the Discovery 8 as soon as it arrived here. Honestly, I find it to be good not great. Discovery 7 which I brought home from the trip is fantastic. Everything I had there was great.



Damn. That's unfortunate. I have the 6 and find it outstanding. I've heard the 7 is as well. Bummer to hear that about the 8

How’s the uncle nearest 1856? Just bought a bottle for my BIL and I’ve never tried it.

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, would this be a pretty good gift for someone requesting a "good bottle of whiskey" but not specifying what they are into?

Or would Knob Creek 12 suffice?

Both are great gifts. Is the EC a store pick or one of the 3 standard releases?

I enjoy the standard ones more, as they are 12 year age stated.

You can't go wrong with either for a gift for someone into bourbon, perhaps they have a preference on proof.

Great buy. The store picks are hit or miss, but their standard releases are always good juice at great value.

12 year EC is hitting on all cylinders. I would like to try a 15-year barrel proof.

Anyone interested in doing a sample swap of personal favorites from the year? The idea would be to list your favorites in each category, with the catch being that you have to own (or have access) to the bottle.

Best bourbon, rye, finished whiskey, store pick, and overall favorite is what I had in mind. So each swap would involve up to five samples. Open to suggestions.

Either way, I'll be doing blind tastings (annual tradition) in each of the above to pick my personal favorites.
