$40 for a 12yr at 86, or $25 for a 12yr at 94? Thank you, Heaven Hill!Quote:

100% Agreed.Quote:

I hear ya, man. I'll end up buying a bottle, and probably end up regretting it as I do with most Beam products. But I'll still try it.Quote:

The Distiller's Masterpiece was released as both an 18yr Cognac finish and a 20yr. Port finish.It may be hard to believe but I have still seen quite a few gracing shelves from time to time,at over $250 mind you they may soon settle into the dust.BTW sorry for the thread drift.
Ha! Excellent fix.Quote:

Fred Minnick, for one:

Also, whoever runs Beam's Twitter account seemed surprised by this information leaking out, and told me they didn't have information on price yet, even though Fred and The BR clearly had the MSRP.
12 year old watered down brandy finished Grand Dad. I may as well drink Canadian at half the price.
Is it the OGD mashbill? If so, that could be very interesting brandy-finished. I was assuming it was the regular Beam mashbill.Quote:
