What Rye Are You Drinking? Autumn 2012

A large pour of baby Saz and a bit of Jefferson 10 while resisting the urge to open the bottle of Hirsch 22 rye that UPS dropped off today

Crack that bad boy already, fresh off the truck!

Glad to hear you got your hands on one, Michael. I still have yet to crack my bottle open. I'm thinking of opening it for a fun tasting with the HW21, and Ritt 23.

Willett 4yr. a nice bold change of pace from my usual wheated bourbon selections lately.

OK, I am interested in this Hirsch 22 now, since I've seen a bottle in the wilds at the dear price of $200+. I take it it's good. What's in it? Search on this forum brought up lots of info about older releases, but not so much on this one.

There is not a "new" release of Hirsch 22, the bottles are from 2005/06... And I believe it is rye from Bernheim which is where vintage 21/23 and VWFRR comes from

I do believe it is from the same stock as a component of VWFRR. I tasted some last week and it was delicious stuff. $200+ is A LOT to ask. I would only ever consider that if I happened to be flush and didn't already spend the money on something else.

For that amount of money I don't want to have to guess it's provenance. The face the NDP isn't saying says a lot.

Didn't realize the release was that old. What was the original MSRP?

[michaelturtle1]

In all the threads I have read the price ranges from $110-$150

And to get the thread back on track I am doing my best to polish off the last few pours of my baby Saz

Prices I've seen around here are in the $125 range

this reminds me that I need to pick up some more of the 22 that I passed up a week or so ago at a local store
