Got some in michigan. Would highly recommend

i just checked and it looks like its scattered around PA. might have to take trip tomorrow. 

Smoke Wagon rye available on the distiller's site. Only have the bourbon, so I think this is a necessary addition.

Boxergrail was available at my local store last week, so I snagged a bottle before killing off the last one. Some slight batch variation, as I thought the older batch was a little smokier. Can't say if the change was good or bad, it was just a subtle difference I noticed.

So, what's the deal? Do they not release it anymore? That's a Buffalo Trace product, if I remember? Do I have to go to the distillery, because I will, lol.

Low supply high demand basically

distillery is a random drop day to day

Just tried 1792 small batch last night. Was pleasantly surprised. Solid

Talk to me...

It says Iowa, but they're using Canadian rye? Does single barrel really make a noticeable difference?

Maybe maybe not. Picks should be better but can be inconsistent. If i am spending 85 there are lots of better options like an old ezra 7yr rye at 114 proof

Yes! The Ezra 7-yr. is in stock as well. I'm basically trying to decide what to buy. I think that one's only $70.

Take that all day

Did a Frey Ranchbtasting. Their bib rye is super for 6yo and 55 ish bucks

they have a wheat whiskey coming out next yr that impressed me. Normally dont dig that but was very complex. Their stuff is so clean

  • 2 weeks later...

Picked up a few interesting bottles:

  • Blue Run Marrakech Market

  • Makers Mark Private Selection Kreston Mocha Monster

  • Barrell Rum Private Release Cask Strength

  • Barrell Infinite Barrel Project

  • Catoctin Creek Ragnorok Rye

 

Also cracked a few recently:

  • Doc Swinsons Exploratory Cask L’Esprit — this was really good, bourbon finished in cognac, really hit the nail on the head for what it was trying to do.
  • High West High Country — blah. Their attempt at a single malt. Mediocre at best with a 3 digit price tag.
  • Blue Run Reflection I — just an OK bourbon for the price.
  • Blue Run Golden Rye — I liked this one a lot more. It’s not as good as the High Rye in my opinion, but it’s close.

You have to stop being poor to afford it.

Have a few blue rune high rye batch 2 to open. I like it but its not good value at 100 bucks

got some 4R barrel proofs now those atr bangers and only 80

Just ordered the complete blue run winter solstice collection on the secondary market. :excited:

12 different bottles, only about 225 of each will ever be made.

If I can get another set I’m opening them.

Did anyone else enter PA’s lottery for Rip Van Winkle? And did you ever receive an email indicating whether or not you were selected? I thought they were supposed to notify either way.

winner emails started going out a few weeks ago. loser emails will go out once all the bottles have been picked up. they do this because sometimes a card will get declined, a bottle wont be picked up and in those cases they draw another name.

in anycase, we should all be getting our "theres always next year" emails soon :lol:

Can't go wrong...

I saw they had the 8 yr out again which is a really nice bottle at a lower price point

Kilchoman is still my fav though. although ardbeg scorch was one of the best bottles of my life.
