That's truly incredible. Congratulations on getting so many amazing bottles.

Do you typically open bottles to enjoy or are you mostly just collecting? If you're drinking through your collection, I can't imagine how you'd pick what to enjoy on any given day. I have a fraction of what you have and I try to not open bottles until I've finished already open ones. Or, if I have friend over, we'll crack bottles all based on a theme or distillery.

Mostly Collecting/Investing. I have been known to break open a rarer one here n there. At my cousin's funeral we toasted him with a 15 year pappy.

Got a bottle of the Blanton's Takara Gold. Had a friend who took the family to Japan for Spring break hunt one down for me. It's supposed to be 2 years older than the normal Gold label you can get stateside.

Heaven Hill seems to be copying Buffalo Trace who released a similar for finish under their Charter Oak brand. Chinquapin Oak imparts butterscotch, crème brûlée, toasted nut, chocolate, and coffee notes, creating a bold mouthfeel and layered finish.

Tasting notes from Breaking Bourbon:

NOSE
Rich oak | Pecan pie | Berry compote | Thin vanilla | Toast

palate
Leather | Tobacco leaf | Honey bun | Oak | Green peppercorn | Faint raspberry & blackberry mix | Candied pecan

finish
Rich oak | White peppercorn spice | Honey candy | Peanut brittle | Short

For comparison, the tasting notes for the Charter Oak are:

Nose: Reviewers find a mix of cherry, spearmint, light caramel, and distinct floral or herbal notes.

Palate: The experience is described as having a soft, creamy texture with flavors of honey, fresh herbs, and a subtle, sweet woodiness. It is frequently described as having a "green" or musty, yet pleasant, flavor profile, which differs from the intense spice of other oak varieties.

Finish: A long, lingering, and often warming finish characterized by baking spices and subtle dark chocolate.

Not sure about the grain to glass, but the regular HH B&B is one of my go to’s for a daily drinker. Enjoy. 👍
