Actually yesterday, 17 year 4R from the gift shop :grin: .

I had a few pours of 4R last night and realize I need to explore it more. Has anyone tried one of these? Trying to figure out how hard I should pursue and if it's worth it....or do I just stick to the single barrel/cask strength stuff.

There are a bunch of SBers nearby FR in Bardstown right now so if you want someone to pick one up for you, now is the time to ask!

2x Vintage 21 Rye

1x FRSB Selected by Kroger, DS/4-6Q

I'm stopping at 4 bottles of the Vintage 21 Rye, and I left 1 behind. If anyone traveling on I-65 for the KBF Sampler wants to know where it is, let me know. I am aware of a total of 2 bottles remaining in the area.

I be traveling and I be interested in a bottle!:)

Yep, did a little more reading, sounds like I should check it out. If someone wants to help a Cali guy out, PM por favor. I'd be thrilled to try it and share with my fellow West coasters.

Day didn't go as well as planned. Picked up 4RSB LE 2011. Managed to get the exact warehouse and barrel number as my previous. What were the odds.

I also picked up some VWFR Lot "B" for way more than I should have paid :rolleyes: According to the numbers it was from the K line in 2011. Although released in spring, it's not a spring release.

Do you know what barrel number they're up to now? When I went in March, they were 16 years and 10 or 11 months old, and I think the highest barrel number was 7.

Bulleit - something cheap and Four Roses-y while trying to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I think I spent 3 hours trying to make a silhouette of a cat, without success, but I sure had fun!

PHC 27

Rittenhouse 25

I hadn't bought anything in a few weeks... guess I caught up plus some. (Thanks to dridge11 -- and any chance I can sleep on your couch if the better half finds out?)

The Four Roses gift shop is now selling Barrel #8 and #9 (both are 17 years and 55.3%). I picked up one of each yesterday.

That's really interesting - the last 5 barrels seem to have been put into wood on the same month. I wonder if they were right next to each other.

The guest room is probably more comfortable.

Hoping good karma might get some 4R 17 headed my way :cool: , picked these all up today. And actually none of them are for me, all for feller SB'ers.

I'm compiling a list of Rittenhouse barrels and age statements.

There is a Ritt 21 listed on eBay with barrel 24.

Edit:

Removed link per suggestion. I'm not advocating eBay but rather noticed references to the same barrel but two different age statements.

Jim Murray reviews a bunch of them. I find his reviews to be a bit erratic, but you can at least use his Whisky Bible to help complete your list.

Also, you should probably remove that link from your post.

I found a link with 31 barrels in an old post. Didn't include age statements.
