Anyone have any Parker's Heritage? Just had the 2013 Promise of Hope and I absolutely loved it. Have always heard good things about the Parker's Heritage releases but never jumped on them since I am usually saving up for the BTAC/Pappy releases. I know it's different each year but this year's release will definitely be on my radar. If anyone has some of this, I'm extremely jealous.

I been on the lookout for some. Unfortunately the last one I found the guy wanted $150+. And I can't justify that. I can justify the retail price of it. Which I think is still a hefty $99 (give or take)

Yeah, retail is supposed to be $90 I think but that doesn't mean much once it hits stores. On the surface it seems steep for a roughly 10 year whiskey but when I've tried some 20+ year old whiskey from Orphan Barrel that is around the same price, the 2013 offering blows those out of the water. That might not be the best comparison but given the rising costs of bourbon these days, the Parker's seems worth the money in my opinion.

I have never heard anything bad about them. So yeah I would pay around $100 for a bottle (because the way the drink. It would last me a year or so) but now to find a bottle. Lol. The most I every paid for a bottle so far was $72. And that was a bottle of Lot B.

First of all, that's a great price these days for the Lot B. I think I paid $75 and was extremely happy with that price. Without doing a side to side comparison, I think I would take the Parker's Heritage over the Lot B. Granted taste is subjective, I can only speak to the 2013 release of the PH, and it could be just the fact that I just had it. I might have to pour some Lot B and come back to this post though.
Really interesting stuff Gang thanks for talking and sharing all this! I agree that while it would be very cool and a lot of fun to start with some White Lightening and get your own barrel to age it, that's a big up front cost for something that very likely won't turn out the way you want etc. very neat topic and idea though!
Found some four roses private barrel selection today. OESK barrel strength, think 9.5 yrs if anyone is looking for this one. $55. I was going to pick one up but I still haven't tried the four roses I already have. Place is about an hour from me so probably wouldn't be able to get there till next weekend.
Thanks for the heads up Andy awfully kind of you! I don't think you'd be sorry for grabbing it yourself but I do suggest you crack into your unmolested four roses bottle soon all the same lol.
I'm going to go live in a hole for a while... All yall are drinking the Kool-Aid and chanting "One of us"..... Ken I will happily help out in any way I can and happy to find out where those vials come from and shoot you that info. Let me know how I can help you bro, really like your home brew and barrel aging idea and want to see that succeed for you!
Hey I told him where I got my bottles from. I'm not chanting anything
I've done some smoked cocktails in the past. I use a similar method but have created an "artificial lung" using a pipe and turkey baster. I pack some pipe tobacco, light and use the baster to puff. Once it's going, I use a dedicated decanter that's only used for smoked cocktails - place it, upside down over the pipe and fill it with smoke. Cap that decanter, mix your cocktail in your mixer, strain it into the decanter and give it one quick shake. Pour that into your glass and you've got a smoked cocktail. The smoke in the decanter will usually last for 2-3 cocktails if you're careful when pouring.
Going to the liquor store tomorrow. It is "Senior Discount Wednesday" and I hope to buy a bunch of miniatures of all the stuff you guys have been posting. I will also get (if they have it) a bottle of "Small Batch" Four Roses. This is your fault for bringing back some really good memories. Thank you.
