How does anyone not hoard (regular) Sazerac at ~$25?!
Incredibly smooth, great sweet note to the finish. Again, why haven't I not been buying this for years...?
(BTW Kirkland Bourbon at $30 is worth the price of admission, earthy oak note on the palate is quite similar to Buffalo Trace.)

Needed some air , after that wonderful and typical LB perfume. Not super long finish — 4 months ago
Campari but…better? — 2 years ago
2003 vintage. Decanted for approx 3 hours. The usual LB nose. A little pickled mushroom/forest floor flavor profile off the bat, then settled into dark plum and cocoa powder shortly thereafter. Light-medium body and slightly “bigger” than expected at this point. Lots of stuffing still. It’s in the sweet spot/top of the bell curve currently…seems like it could sustain that momentum for at least another 4-5 years. — 3 years ago
Last one of these from a LB order. Wish I had more. Great value — 8 months ago

Another delicious btl from LB showing expressive aromatics with its sweet red cherry, strawberry fruit, Vosne spices, mineral, violet that had an elegant & silky mouthfeel on the palate — 4 months ago
