Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: I've tried to work Oshkosh a few times but no dice. It's definitely on my list and something I've been waiting for kiddo to get a little older so he can really remember it and we can do the whole camp there thing. I have not either. But from what I have heard, if you are into that kind of thing, how can you not? |

so I wakes up this mornings and looking at my news feed, it knows I like bourbon, it gives me a title I cannot not read; the best value bourbons dollar for dollar as per some unknown bartenders.
I am all about value. wells, I looks at the writings. no surprises buffalo trace and Elijah Craig Small Batch, Four Roses single barrel are on there. but it also lists Eagle Rare at a price of $35. Where?! It lists EH Taylor for $42!!! Where?! Never even seen either in a store let alone reference to that pricing. Listed crap like Makers Mark. One I never heard of, Old Grand-dad bonded (?) Few I had been meaning to try too. Well, I needed to stop and get my wife some mustard. Store had a couple on the list I had been meaning to try: Wild Turkey 101 and Old Forester. They had Bulleit Rye so I just went for it.  Initial tastes: none of them are overly complex or grab you. All very smooth. All decent for the money, but I would take others similarly priced first I think. The bulleit was very smooth, not a lot of spice for a rye. Easy drinking. The Old Forester was frankly a bit of a let down. I wasn't expecting it to be on par with the 1920, but I was expecting something a little "more." Maybe I just need to drink more of that one on its own. The surprise winner of the three and cheapest at $24, Wild Turkey 101. Very smooth for higher proof, good taste, easy to drink. Still not complex or wow, but for what it is, yeah, that's value. |

It was NIB and I bought it within seconds of it popping up on BF. Maybe it's just an illusion but it seems a little thinner BTE than the 0630. I would really like one in satin but they come up so infrequently. |

So happy Crucible finally got off their ass to compete. Not enough knives with Elmax. Will be interested to see how S45VN stacks up. I think the discussion on Spyderco forums is S45VN will do as goot or better than Elmax as it has a lower carbide load but higher percentage of Vanadium and Niobium carbides in place of bigger and softer Chromium carbides but I'll have to double check |
