Shuboy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Just walked into my local store to pick up the Small Batch 2012 when I noticed something different on the bottles. Turns out some dude named Jim Rutledge wrote his name on all the Four Roses bottles :bigeyes:. Well I asked the cashier and it turns out Jim was in town (Redwood City, California) last week and now I'm kicking myself for not going to the store last week.

MyOldKyDram Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thought it was September this year, too.I haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuboy Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Oops, my mistake. Got the 2011 edition. Jim put 2012 on his signature to show when he signed the bottle and I thought it was the 2012 edition.Sorry for causing a minor panic.

They had a little writeup about Rutledge's visit here. http://spiritsjournal.klwines.com/klwinescom-spirits-blog/?currentPage=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically try to check out both places for deals on whiskey and Jim Rutledge had previously stopped at both places for a quick chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 These new annual releases usually hit the KY shelves first, so has anyone down in the Commonwealth seen it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
