Ordered this from Willow Park Wine & Spirits as a Christmas gift to myself. I figure it's a good opportunity to try a bunch of different bourbons without having to buy the whole bottle each time.

I was going to order this but hesitant. Do you have a list of the bourbons included?

[mr2mike]

What we should do is get a group together.
Small taster bottles and everyone contributes to the tasting cause.
But I know some cheap f*cks will taint it with Johnnie Walker Red.

In my club of ~22 guys we each pitch 12£ and have 265£ to work with each month for 3 bottles. One person is nominated to organize and they do a presentation and present the bottles so our first taste of each is blind.

Fun!

You will enjoy the 1920. Hope you didn't pay too much for it. I've seen it range from $60 - $90.

Thanks for sharing this. Glad I passed on this as there isn't much in there that I haven't tried. Was hoping there was going to be 1 or 2 of the more hard to come by bourbons.

I don't think I have ever seen Willow Park sell any allocated items. I figure they just save them for friends or high dollar customers.

I do think the Booker's Bourbon is mislabeled in the sample box because I've talked to a Beam rep and he had said we don't get the 01 02 03 04 batches. In Canada, we only get the 01E which could be anything.

The 1920 is great and rumors is that 1910 will be available in Canada next spring.

For anyone that wants a EH Taylor Small Batch, craft cellars has it in stock right now Dec 14, 2021 at 10:11AM

**Sold Out**

[KRyn]

.

[schurchill39]

EH Taylor is definitely up on my list of delicious Bourbons. Totally worth it if you can find it.

[bjstare]

It sold out less than 3 min after that post. I was on the website by 10:14 and there was none left haha

[cyra1ax]

Shot in the dark, but anyone have a lead on Stagg Jr? Liquor Connect shows a bunch of places that have ordered it recently, but its not exactly accurate.

[roopi]

Never seen a Stagg on the shelf in Calgary.

[punguuu]

In retrospec, I should have bought one EH and let whoever wanted it to pick it up. I'll do that next time.

The only time I've seen Stagg Jr is lottery. I doubt it will ever be on a shelf.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I haven't seen stagg jr in years on the shelf, but I still have a bottle of George T Stagg unopened.

[cyra1ax]

Hmm, thanks for the notes everyone! Figured there was a pretty slim chance anyways.
