BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

My local Binny's set aside a couple more nice bottles for me. A few weeks back they got me a EH Taylor BP batch 12. Well, BT released more batch 11, so I got one of those. Also picked up the latest Elijah Craig BP (A124).

Last night I opened the third and last of the 3 different Total Wine 1792 Full Proof picks. I haven't had great luck with TW picks, but the first two 1792s were stellar. Unfortunately, this one is more in line of what I think of when I think TW picks. 
Poured something I know I like after.

I've been curious about W.B. Saffel bourbon for years now. I've never seen it in a store or bar. Paid a little over retail to get one mailed to the house.
Lots of Wild Turkey funk, and a finish that just goes on and on. I'd still take a great Russell's single barrel pick over this, but it's still really tasty.

Jake, I bought it in a Facebook bourbon group, "Used Oil". I belong to a couple local and a few national BST groups.
Was looking at that tonight in the store. Opinions??
I'm a fan! Picked it up because Tom @icehog3 has posted it before and I kept seeing it in the store. I swear if I didn't know it was 116 proof I would have guessed 100ish. Super smooth, and really unlike any of the other distillery profiles. I don't pick up any funk (Turkey), peanut (Beam), banana (OF), etc. Hard to describe. Almost...fruit? Maybe plum/raisin/dark cherry? Light on the palate but in a good way. Enough heat there still to not be weak or watery. Tastes..."bright" is a good way to describe it.
I’ll try him
