Agreed. I got mine for MSRP though. The woman at the register actually hugged it and said it was the brand that got her into bourbon.
Tonight I've had Maker's Mark RC6, Elijah Craigh Barrel Proof A119, and Blantons. I can never make my mind up so I just have my buddy pick numbers from 1 to however many whisk(e)ys I have on my shelf and that's what I drink. In this case it's 1-34.

Finally got my hands on a bottle of OGD114. I've been seeing this getting a lot of attention in the various groups and thought I'd grab some. IMO, it's just okay. There are several others I would take in that $28-$30 price range over OGD114, but they are not 114 proof so that's the trade off.
Flavor wise, it's pretty spicy as you would expect. I put a couple ice chips in and it drastically improved the overall taste. More caramel, more vanilla. Call me crazy, but I prefer the $21 OGD Bottled in Bond over this one.

Bro... I have some 136 proof Elijah Craig Barrel Proof and it's one of the tastiest bourbons I have ever had the pleasure of tasting.
Jam packed with caramel, cinnamon, and leathery sweetness. It's spicy but really, really damn good.
edit: from the previous page
Cant believe I got that bottle in January and still have 2/3 left. lol

My favorite semi-local distillery, McLaughlin Distillery, has one called Devil's Juice. It's finished with toasted hickory wood and is quite literally like drinking a campfire. This guy continues to impress me and I would honestly choose his stuff over big name brands any day.[]---[] Equipment Crew Member No.18
