BengalMan Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Word is that this will be bottling in the next 2 weeks or so and will be hitting shelves soon there after. Around 3100 cases, and from what I've been told, under a 1/3 of that will be allocated for the KY market. I believe retail will be ~$85. I for one am looking forward to this release.

Lost Pollito Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 You are not alone. I'm getting pretty giddy waiting for this Presidential reserve, the 4 roses barrel strength, and the btec. I'd like the Hirsch, but my lotto numbers never seem to work. Oh...and 4 months or so till btac. Oh no. I've turned into a total bourbon nerd. Should be a fun few months hunting these down.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalMan Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 I picked up the 2 bottles of the 2009 Four Roses Barrel Strength already along with 2 each of the BTEC. The Presidential is next on my list. Ugh, my wife is gonna off me. I recently went on a Guatemalan Zaya Rum kick hunting and buying every bottle of the Guatemalan bottling in sight, lol. Thank god the BTAC is 4 months away, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WsmataU Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Jefferson's Reserve is a personal favorite. Thanks for the info, I'll keep my eyes peeled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fricky Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 When Jefferson's Reserve was 15 yr old, I thought that it was exceptional. When it was changed to "Very Old" (12-17 yrs), it was not quite as good. It will be interesting to see how the new 17 yr compares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 When is Parkers 3rd edition coming out?The first two were Autumn releases so I'd bet the the 3rd will be to.Speculation is that it will be a rye.Those Rittenhouse Ryes, 21yo and 23yo, that HH put out for big bucks didn't sell as well as expected.So maybe it'll be a rye.They released two bourbons and have a rye, corn and wheat to go to complete the collection.

wadewood Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I dont get this. HOw does one just "discover" 400 barrels?From my understanding Buffalo Trace had some barrels of SW whiskey that were under contract to Seagrams (? or some other Canadian whiskey mfg). It was used to blend in Canadian whiskey. I'm guessing that this is where this barrels came from (if it is indeed SW whiskey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy38 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 If it was really SW bourbon in those barrels, wouldn't they just come out and say it??The distillery is long gone. No need to protect the identity of a defunct distillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyboy38 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Is it the horse piss or the cherry infusion that improves it? There's probably not any horse piss in it. That goes into the white label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virus_Of_Life Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 17 yr. Stitzel-Weller to be blended in Canadian Whiskey...:cry:I can hardly say that, without crying. :cry:Been happening for quite some time now going into Crown Royal, as I believe Diageo had 2000 barrels of it being used for blending.

callmeox Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The base whiskey can be made in the US or Canada, but it takes Canadian know-how to ruin it to the point where they can call it Canadian Whiskey. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
