Kilkerran 8 year cask strength now. So freakin' good. Love that Campbeltown funk!

cooper barrett 12-23-2020 08:47 PM

Never had the 8 but have had the 12.

I have been a Springbank fan for years

I really havent found a huge difference between the regular makers and things like 46 which is higher in alc content taste a little sweeter, vs the private reserve. It's not a bad product by any means but I'm not sure paying 40-50 bucks more for the upper brands made by them are justifiable

18 year is my favorite. Got a bottle as a gift for a major birthday...was saving to open it on a special occasion, but when I went to open it, found that it was 80% gone. High school children were drinking it with coke mixer. They said it was their favorite drink. :banghead:

Better you than me. I'd be posting that from jail.

The 2020 blows the other versions away, really taste the wood. 110 proof

I don't like buying the $70+ fifths but this is my second, tomorrow my third and fourth.

I have to drive to Sedona to get it.

Over the Xmas hearth, of course.

I just bought another yesterday too...it is pretty special, and I'm not sure we'll see more when it runs out.

Is that in Indiana? I have family in Evansville lucky ****ers get Blantons all the time. I guess it's not a very far drive to their distillery. Going to make the trip and load up on some EH Taylor and Blantons.

Buffalo Trace is 2.5 hours from me and 2.5 hours east of Evanston, IL. (2.5 SW on me)


I am in AZ for the rest of the winter.


I never see Blanton's where I live but in Indianapolis Payless and 21st Amendment, who help get my Blvd into IN, may have some treats for me when I come back home.

there are several cases of BCS at my local

What is highly desirable and what is a killer price?

KCUnited 12-24-2020 08:23 AM

For 2020 Regular I’ve only had Heaven Hill and Buffalo Trace. Both great but no noticeable distinction that I could pick up. Feel anything lower than $12.99 is a deal. Seen some for $9.99

Kentucky Fog was a miss imo but I don’t appreciate tea so YMMV

#4 was tasty but nothing I’d go nuts for

I bought a whole set so not sure what MSRP is individually
