risenc Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 For what it's worth, I went to a release party here in New York for the new Boss Hog, and they were giving out tastes of yet another limited-release expression: a high-proof (112 or so) version finished in a blend of 64% Sauterne, 23% Madeira and 13% port barrels. It was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd99 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I noticed the new release on a local shop's shelf yesterday. It caught my eye b/c of the stopper. I didn't realize at the time it was a new release, just thought it might be new packaging. Didn't make a note of the price, I'll check it out and let y'all know.

DBM Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 You reeled that big pig in didn't ya Dane? Not a chance, but thanks for thinking I might be that crazy. I still have 3/4 bottle of the first Boss Hog release and find it quite good, but I "only" paid $160 for it, and I almost passed on it at that price. The TW I took that picture from had the first release for $189.99 (plus rape-me tax) so the jump to $250 is from the distributor (and probably back to WP too). It makes LS&B seem like a deal.

garbanzobean Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think this is available here for around $170 and falling. Doesn't seem to be selling well. If it were $100 less than that I might buy it . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Do you like it? I'm curious.Have not opened my bottle yet, but tried it at a bar and liked it enough to buy it with no taxes or shipping charges. It was a different barrel than I ended up with so there's some risk. I liked my one pour at the bar better than the standard 10yr 100 proof, enough better to take a risk on the full bottle. Fuller flavor and more complex. I'll open my own bottle soon and do a side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
