Not sure about Jamie's opinion but I'd say yes......HELL YES!!! A great bottle of rye for $20...….not many of them out there like that.I drank some $80 rye that I thought was mediocre at best,Whistlepig.So even $40 for the OF would be a good deal.

I just picked up 2 more bottles last week...….so yea I like it....a lot

Good to hear, I found one for $27 couple months ago and only one I have seen here locally. WP 10 yr rye (I think the one with the cream or yellow label) is not very good imo. I have heard their other offerings are though.

OGD 114 with (...I know Ron’s gonna cringe...) an ice sphere [gonzo]

At least it wasn’t with crushed ice! 🤦

This is one of my sleeper bourbon's......much better than the label or price might suggest.


Next time we get together I have an ice dong we can drop in your bourbon.

bought my first bottle of Buffalo Trace in several years.
well worth 24 skins.
very soft and sweet for 90 proof. easy drinking neat.
Like it at that price. But not a top 5 overall.

Initially tried it neat and has a unique / different taste that I can’t put a finger on. Dropped a sphere in but it was still there. Fo’ I’m gonna need a couple more shots to come to some kind of conclusion but at this point in time, don’t think I would rush out to buy more. But, like anything subjective, ymmv.

I thought it was good but not great and the 1st pour after opening wasn't as good as the latter pours.
I have to agree that it definitely has a different note that I wasn't necessarily fond or not fond of.

If I want to get it , it's still available the craze never hit here fortunately

Naked Grouse this evening. Blended malt (like Monkey Shoulder) rather than blended scotch. Much more single malty in flavor. Both excellent additions at a reasonable price point.
