    Had a 2012 bottle a couple weeks ago, it was after a Bourbon County Rare...note to self, don't ever do that again...the Parabola was overshadowed by the Rare...and we were pissed that we'd opened the Parabola too...

    Two different beasts. I prefer regular Bourbon County over Parabola . Don't think much had to do with it being the rare. Bourbon County is thicker, richer so if anything you guys should of popped the Parabola first.

    Wish FW distro'ed to NC. I'll have to hope this arrives in Chicago when I'm there the end of March.

    I was able to find a spot that still has a huge amount of Sucaba on hand so I am hoping to go back to the same well to grab some Parabola...anyone know how much more rare it is in comparison?

    If the photo of the label on page 1 is accurate, they made the same number of cases of each this year

    I'm in San Diego and have no issue finding Firestone Walker, especially stuff like this. Should be easy to get.

    Now that is a statement you wouldn't be able to make with Parabola. Hope that answers your question.

    It isn't more rare, but it sells faster than Sucaba does. I can still find Sucaba 2013 on shelves, Parabola won't last nearly as long.

    Well, I might as well throw my hat in the ring. Anyone looking for fresh TG PseudoSue I've got multiple bottles that I'll trade for some '14 Parabola when it drops. BM me. Cheers.

    Unless you're already a borbon drinker and like both.

    Two great tastes that taste great together.

    Well what can I say... I am in love with FW's barrel program. Plus I have a great connect to West Coast brews.
