autiger23 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Been trying to find a real number on the total # of bottles in this very limited bottling. I have seen some talk on here but I must have missed that in discussion.I have a place here locally that has two more and I am trying to decide if I am going to go back up the road 30 min's and get them for the $85 incl. tax.I have not tried my one bottle I just picked up Saturday yet, all the reviews I see are very positive...any more reviews are welcome. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Been trying to find a real number on the total # of bottles in this very limited bottling. I have seen some talk on here but I must have missed that in discussion.According to this link it's about 8,500 bottles. 93 (53gallon) barrels at 64% angels share. Of course I don't know the exit proof so it may be a lot more bottles when brought down to 100 proof. I would assume the exit proof would be high due to all that evaporation. True? Seems like it shouldn't be too hard to findPress release (caution - PDF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasH Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm figuring around 8650 bottles!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autiger23 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Prices, anyone finding the $69 retail? I have only seen $79 around here including Nashville before tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Prices, anyone finding the $69 retail? On-line wine-searcher shows 1 store (NJ) selling at $65. and 4 stores (3 FL, 1 NJ) at $70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDude Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Prices, anyone finding the $69 retail? I have only seen $79 around here including Nashville before tax.I have seen it for retail locally, in Louisville. I have not been looking for it, but did notice a few bottles at some of the more specialty liquor stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejmharris Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Prices, anyone finding the $69 retail? I have only seen $79 around here including Nashville before tax.I bought my two at $69 from two different stores. It appears the stock each had are both long gone now. I will be keeping an eye out for more. I opened first bottle on Saturday and really enjoyed it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacinJosh Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Those of you that have had the first release and now this one.....how do they compare?If they're similar....I won't be securing any Tornado bottles anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky480 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I paid $59 plus tax for the bottle I picked up on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only had one pass at the Tornado bottle, but based on my initial taste, I should have kept my money as I don't think this is a $60 bottle.

Brisko Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I don't know about the rest of you, but I think $60 or $70 is a little high for a ~10 year old BiB, I don't care if it did sit out in the rain for a while:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, the Taylor Tornado was worth every penny I payed for it. The 2nd release Taylor BIB, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autiger23 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Broke it open tonight. Man definitely right up there with some of the Antique collection bourbons. I don't really like the $85 I paid but if I could have got it down to around $70 after tax I would feel a little better. Stuff if pretty damn good, I do get some of the citrus notes and I really have to agree on the well balanced reviews on this. Its taste a lot more powerful than the 100 proof listed. Think I might just have to go back and get at least one of the two left on the shelf...hoping they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtexaslonestar Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Picked up two bottles, one for me and one for a friend, can't wait to break one open. Maybe I will go over to my friend's house and let him open his up first! forgot to add: priced $69.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormeh Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 A place near me has a bottle for $70 + tax and I think I'll bite based on some of the other comments I've read about it on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuck Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks for the picture. Is there a particular age statement or is this just a good offering to try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejmharris Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 There are a couple of posts above with a press release. I believe it was 9 or 11 year barrels. It was specified on the bottle which were which. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
