Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4634397, member: 1414"] Everyone has different views. My general thoughts divide somewhat on whether a store pick is just a specific single barrel of a normally single barrel product, or is something unique. Also, not all stores are the same. Many don't do any actual "picking". I'm fortunate with two local stores that have great reputations and real people going to pick barrels. NH is the only state that does that by the way, for control states. [LIST] [*]Knob Creek single barrel store picks are usually worth it and rarely have a premium. [*]Russell's Reserve SiB store picks are good, but not usually worth a premium over RR SiB on shelves [*]Four Roses store picks are expensive, but excellent. It's a product you can't get in non store pick form. Regular 4R SiB is a different thing. [*]Makers store picks can be good, are a bit expensive and like 4R aren't something you can get in a regular version. There is no comparable normal product except the annual limited releases. [*]Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace - not usually worth any premium (often there is none) [*]Whistle Pig 10 store picks seem to be much better than the regular product [*]Barrell store picks aren't very different from the regular bourbon releases. The other Barrell products you mentioned are already fairly unique and diverse. [*]Jack Daniels SiB store picks are good, but like Russell's not necessarily better than a normal SiB. [*]High West finishes and store picks are a total crapshoot. Can be great or meh. [*]Tumbling Dice store picks have been excellent. [*]Craft bourbon store picks - total crapshoot. Try first if you can. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
