    So my first Barrell purchase and taste was the Batch 35... Bought it today and immediately put it in four blinds:
    Barrel VS ECBP C922 VS Rare Breed : RB>EC>Barrel
    Barrel Vs 1920 Vs JDSBSBP: JD>1920>Barrel
    Barrel Vs 1920 Vs Rebel 100 Cask Str: Rebel > 1920 > Barrel
    Barrel Vs 1920 Vs Larceny BP A123: Barrel > 1920 > LBP
    Repeatedly put it vs 1920 because it felt close to 1920 and I had a feeling they may swap places eventually... and on the third blind they did. So I consider it roughly as tasty (to me) as 1920...
    I like it, but it's the second most expensive bottle of bourbon I've ever bought ($92), and it was handily beat by Rare Breed... which costs barely half as much ($49 here).
    Now it's not a bad bottle at all... it's very enjoyable... but at almost $100? I'd expect more. I am hoping it opens up and improves. And I expect it very well could. It's plenty complex and that leads me to believe it will.
    And I'm not trying to turn people off of Barrell at all... It's a delicious bottle; and to be fair Rare Breed is an ASSASSIN for making more expensive bottles seem overpriced. I am glad I finally tried it, but I almost wish I went with the $55 Foundation instead; as I think I wouldn't want to judge that bottle nearly as harshly... since it will actually be CHEAPER than Rare Breed in a lot of areas.

    Barrell has Stellum Bourbon about 114 proof,a price point of about 60 clams here in Nashvagas...they wanted to create a more affordable drink. It's very awesome and also in the house. It borders 1920 Old Forester profile which makes me wonder if they get barrels from Old Forester / Brown Foreman?? It's definitely worth the price for sure a pleasurable sip.

    I've a question of the creators team as well as the commenting community. I drink Knob Creek as my 'go to' bourbon. It tastes great to me and treats me right, but can be expensive for a 'go to'. I enjoy other higher end offerings as a treat and certainly am not thinking about putting the Knob out to pasture, however, I would like to know if the community here could recommend other less expensive offerings that may be comparable in taste and experience? I will drink Jim Beams offerings when it is the only reasonable choice and actually prefer it to something like Jack but didn't know if there is some middle ground offering that might be worth considering? TIA for suggestions.
