The actual wooden frames that hold the barrels....these barrels were virtually " touching one another "

In that case the ETL was an excellent selection. And the OF 1920 was not a bad pick either.

I have not tried the 12 doublewood but have the 17 offering. IMO the doublewood is a bolder, spicier pour while the sherry cask is going to be some what smoother. One will notice the sherry influence right from the start, some spice but not to the extent of the doublewood.

I would rate the 15 s/cask probably at a 4 out of 5. If one is looking for an in your face pour, this is not it. Will say that this is a bottle that will stay in the rotation.

Just got my free tickets to the first Bourbon Live of 2018....put on by Big Red liquors here in IN. If we get there early enough my wife and I will have an opportunity to purchase (1) bottle per person from the list below. We're definitely wanting to get our hands on a bottle of ETL, just not sure about the second pick ( should we be so lucky ) but leaning toward the Thomas H Handy.
What would yous guys recommend? Those highlighted Blue we have @ least one bottle. Virtually none of the others have I tried.

I couldn’t get off work for this one since I started taking classes again. :( I was able to line up bright and early at the previous two. Sounds like a nice haul regardless. Was the buffalo trace 5 pack also half off? I paid 80 for mine :(

Laphroaig PX Cask....

I don't think I can get behind this Laphroaig thing. I normally like sherried scotch. Even some that taste like peat. Fortunately this was just a 2oz sample but it just wasn't like... good.

Laphroaig fans... please explain this to me!
