Are you guys STILL drinking tonight??

Thanks for the link! They have Sazerac Rye listed under rye special orders; maybe we can get them to make the new Stagg available when it comes out.

maybe we can get them to make the new Stagg available when it comes out.

The one time I actually did a "special order" was when I got 2 bottles of Hirsch 16yo--the fellow who helped me basically said they can order just about any spirits as long as you'll buy a whole case. If I'm not mistaken, Stagg comes in a whopping case of THREE BOTTLES, so it may not be too difficult!

Unless they consider a 'case' 4 three-pack 'boxes' (or some combo)... Which I hope for your guys sake is not the case. Everyone should be allowed to have Stagg touch their tongue, no matter where one lives.

While passing through LA on may way to TX I bought 1 bottle of Old Ezra 101 (good) and one bottle of Eagle Rare 10YO SB (YUM) a little light on the proof but full of flavor. Tonight it's ERSB on crushed ice.

Since I love Eagle Rare 19, I bought a bottle of Eagle Rare 10YO this weekend. IT is 100 proof -- which is why I wonder what yours could be since you say it is a little light.

The ER 10 was absolutely delightful!

Since I love Eagle Rare 19

You mean Eagle Rare 17 right? Just want to make sure they didn't release a 19 year version before I go hunting!

I have a bottle of both the Eagle Rare 17 year and Eagle Rare 10YO Single Barrel and both are 90 proof. Even at 90 proof, I still find both these bottlings superb! Since you have a 100 proof bottle (unless you mistyped) of the ER 10YO SB, I wonder if they made 2 variations at one time...

[bluesbassdad]

Did you perhaps mistype?

I have a bottle of the 10 y/o SB 90 proof (in the Stagg-like bottle) and a bottle of 10 y/o (not SB) 101 proof (in the stubby bottle). I haven't seen any Eagle Rare at 100 proof.

Yours truly,

Old Forrester 86 proof. I have long been an advocate of the 100 proof expression, but recently the profile seems to have changed. At least that is my perception. I now find it a tad hot and dry. In preparation for some company, of which several will likely want mixed drinks, I purchased a liter of 86 proof OF (original label). I am finding in this much of what I used to love about OF100, but still at a somewhat dissappointing 86 proof. I plan on trying another bottle of OF100 when I can find it with the new label, assuring myself of a different lot/batch.

It is 90 and too good. It will not last long. I got both bottles for $41 so they were a deal.

I just cracked into a new bottle of Blanton's.
