flahute Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Found baby Saz today. Had a pour. And now I know I don't enjoy rye whiskey. Too dry and fruity. Meh. I'll stick to bourbon and let guests feast on that. I might try to get my wife to try it, though. She hates whiskey and bourbon but if she's going to like anything that might be it.Try vatting it with Stagg Jr. I've not tried it myself (because I don't have the Saz) but I saw someone else mention it as a possibility and the rationale makes sense.

BFerguson Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Brought home a EHT rye today. Local store had them marked down a bit. Enjoyed the two bottles I've had before, this one will probably be no different. B Link to post Share on other sites
bingstein Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Have recently picked up a couple Hirsch 22 ryes (including 1 today from a fellow member), a Hirsch 21, a V21 rye, and 3 Saz18s. I guess it's overcompensating for screwing up passing up on so many ryes a year ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Hope to see your thoughts esp on the H21 vs H22. Also would suggest that after you have tried them all separately, you may find the ChainWhip vatting of Saz18/H22 to your liking. Think 2:1 is the sweet spot. Link to post Share on other sites

tanstaafl2 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 This just arrived today. Extremely stoked about this one. Is that something that can now be bought other than the distillery where as I understand it there are bottles for purchase. And if so where? Link to post Share on other sites
whiskeyagonzo Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Is that something that can now be bought other than the distillery where as I understand it there are bottles for purchase. And if so where?Still only at the distillery as far as I know. I think it's slated for a fall release but I couldn't wait that long. :-) Link to post Share on other sites

whiskeyagonzo Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Ah! So did you have a mule or did you make a secret trip to Utah!I wish I had made the trip but I just traded to acquire it. It was cheaper that way. High West is on my bucket list. I want to go visit but Kentucky is much closer. The wife wants to go out west sometime so I will get there eventually.

whiskeyagonzo Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yeah, I ran across it today. I am trying to limit my purchases to one standard selection and one special offering per month during the spring. It would be great to hear your opinion on this offering. Is there a variability between offerings? For example, say I buy one at Crown would it be essentially the same as one bought at another retailer? Link to post Share on other sites
