DPPSmoker Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It'll vary state-to-state but it usually hits the first release in the last week of April.I hope this is true for this year. I will be stopping at the Four Roses distillery on Monday, April 7 and I hope to get a bottle of the 2014 LE there or somewhere nearby. I have had zero luck finding any Four Roses LEs in Michigan the past few years. I'm hoping FR also have some gift shop bottles as well seeing how I missed out on those during KBF because I didn't budget my time well after our BT Hard Hat tour.

But I've never seen a bottle hit the shelves in my neighborhood - they are all set aside or pre-sold before ever hitting the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P&MLiquorsEric Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It will not get any easier to find them. The "Facebook fanatics" propensity to hoard limited edition and new offerings has only just begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 How long do you have to hold a bottle before it qualifies as "hoarding"?I do have a designated "hoarding" shelf, but it ends up with a fairly robust inventory turnover rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thig Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have said it before but if you buy them knowing you will never drink them it might as well be filled with water. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Having had both F recipes I am glad to see it getting a turn, I love both the Fs I have had. The flavor was different in a good way and both delicious, kind of refreshing is how I'd describe them yet full flavored. One was more dark toffee and clove the other apricot and green apple with a touch of mint, must get some more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smknjoe Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 apricot and green apple with a touch of mintThat's what I get out of this bottle I have from the GS. It's interesting for sure. I can't say it's my favorite, but I've only had a few pours so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P&MLiquorsEric Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 According to bourbon blog, only 5000 bottles. Can anyone confirm that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolph Lundgren Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Tried this at WF and it was just as good as other FRSB "F" barrel picks I've had. If your're unlucky enough to not get a bottle, just go grab a retail FRSB "F" pick...odds are it'll be just as good or close as the 2014 LE and any differences negligible.

MyOldKyDram Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Is a seemingly low number. Wonder why. Seems they would have plenty of this recipe in this age range. Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Maybe they didn't have any more that matched the profile they wanted.Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I will try to track one down. I am waiting to pick up a store select of the same recipe for about $30 cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
