And my monthly drive by...
I had some Old Forester 1910 the other weekend. I'd buy it at $45 bucks or whatever the sale price was but probably not MSRP. It had a very distinct interesting flavor component that I couldn't quite put my finger on, some have likened it to dusty bourbon (I haven't had much) as well as strong red fruit maybe cherries. Pretty good **** even with the lower proof than the 1920.
I can't member what else I had to drink lately but the 1910 stood out.

I may be able to assist in this endevour next time I hunt around. There is one place in Indy that still has reasonable prices ~55$ before tax and keeps a variety of recipes in stock. Everyone else has skyrocketed the price and sells them out instantly =( I was super surprised to just find a bottle of a recipe I was missing out in San Diego for like 50 before tax can't member what recipe now. I've got at least one of every recipe at home now except for... OBSK and OBSO i think. ALways drink through my OBSKs fast.

All those heavenhill bottled in bonds are great for the money and very old barton BIB. Even mellow corn for like 9 dollars. I always keep JW Dant around and still have some of the HH. I drink alot more of those nowadays since they're still cheap and easy to find. RIP VOB6yrBIB and HH6yrBIB. The bestest of values...

was gifted a bottle of Russell's Reserve Single Barrel (55 abv)
never really considered it before, but turns out I like it.
I HAVE BEEN HOUNDING WT/CAMPARI FOR OVER A YEAR TO DO A BARREL FOR MY GROUP. No responses so far =( This **** is excellent although I liked it better when I could get for 45 bucks.

For some reason this is hard to find in Hawaii.
Another excellent value drinker. If you are ever in need its fairly common around here and sometimes even under $25. Let me know and I'll keep an eye out.

How is it? I haven't been able to get my hands on any of these new ones. I've got a pretty broad collection of Old Fitz stuff at home. One or two from SW (80s/90s, not 60s/70s unfortuantely), a few from Old Bernheim, and some of the discontinueds from new Bernheim/Heavenhill.
