BFerguson Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 New season needs a new thread.Picked up Lot 40 x4 yesterday out with the misses. Fine day of shopping was had by both parties.B Link to post Share on other sites
upStomp Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Picked up a bottle of Lot 40 as well today. I got sick of seeing all the praises here :grin:.I cringed at paying $55 for a sub-90 proofer, but I love 100% (Alberta?) ryes and there are only so many options in the category.

unclebunk Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Just picked up new bottles of Dickel rye and Rittenhouse BIB for the March Madness crowd that's been gathering at my house these days. Both have been very well received by my friends. Link to post Share on other sites

Robbie BTAC Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I pick up today a Rittenhouse 25yrs and THH 2010 very excited to find the Rittenhouse at a great price here in Au thanks to a very nice member on here . Hope to grab a couple of Saz 18 soon Link to post Share on other sites
Paddy Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Picked up a Dickel along with a Town Branch. Tried to get a read on the TB from the store reps, but only one had sampled and he could not describe it in any other words that you will either love it or hate it. We shall see!

squire Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is there an age statement on the Town Branch? Link to post Share on other sites
TunnelTiger Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Picked up my first bottle of SAOS to go along with my first Mitcher's. Have a few days off from work and look forward to trying both. If they are anywhere near as good as baby Saz, RITBIB, GDR, & CETHR I'll be a happy man. Link to post Share on other sites
Paddy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 TB is NAS Squire. On the good side, it is 100p. Link to post Share on other sites
squire Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks Paddy, that would be sourced then and should be decent if not heart stopping Bourbon. I asked because I wondered why the clerk said you would love it or hate it. A six-nine month old experiment may have some unusual taste elements but a decent grade Bourbon should not.

Paddy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Looks like a duel copper pot still rye (I'd guess anywhere from 2 to 4 yrs old), but no other information is provided. I'm going to try to post some notes on this over the weekend, as by then, I should have had enough time to get a grasp of it. Definitely non-traditional rye IMO.Edit: Just found this....http://www.kentucky.com/2014/03/03/3118219/alltech-introduces-new-whiskey.html Edited April 2, 2014 by Paddy Link to post Share on other sites
tanstaafl2 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Finally broke down and bought one of the Redemption BP ryes after tasting it yesterday. A nice bold spiciness but not a lot of the minty flavor of some of the other MGP ryes including the Willet overproof ryes. Further improved with a touch of water. More like the Old Ambler 99 proof 7yo rye. Maybe that extra year or two in bottle was the difference. Link to post Share on other sites
BFerguson Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Something different today.Old Potrero 18th Century. Not a typical rye, but a rye nonetheless. Need to pop this one tonight!B Link to post Share on other sites
