Curious of your thought on the Elijah

I haven't tried MWND yet, but I have one waiting for me that a friend picked up. Looking forward to your review of it!

I'm curious to know how you like C921. I've done side by side comparisons with the 3 different batches I have. The differences to me are nuanced, but over all taste very similar. That's just me and my weak palate though. I definitely plan to always have a bottle of it around though. I passed on the batches this year so that I could spend the money on other bottles instead.
Together we'll fight the long defeat.

Wellers Special Reserve, Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve are my preferred bourbons lately.

Willet, Penelope barrel strength, Old Grandad, Basil Hayden, and Wild Turkey 101 Rye are my current go to's!

Which old grandad expression do you prefer? If you haven't tried the BIB or OGD 114 yet I highly recommend them!

I'm hoping I'm able to do some taste testing with them this weekend, I'll definitely let you know how they are.

Your collecting looks grate, based on most of the half full bottles maybe it's a drinking problem LOL

Good thing I don't collect bourbon... I'd probably have a bourbon room full of untouched whiskey.  On second thought it would probably be an empty bottle collection lol...

It's easy to do, if my wife didn't keep talking sense into me I'd have 10x more lol

It's definitely a rabbit hole that goes deep. I started collecting probably 5 years ago trying to find some of the rare ones at local shops but now it's much harder around here with the secondary market prices. The diminishing returns isn't worth it to me. (Maybe because my pallet isn't refined enough). I still have quite a few bottles that I've been saving for a special occasion or good company so hopefully I can wait out some of these prices. Cheers.
