smokinjoe Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Already completely sold out in Atlanta. Yup. No need to even waste your time looking for it. It's all gone and it's never coming back. Move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yountvillewjs Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Looks like it is time to remind my local about this upcoming release as this is the only premium/allocated offering I ask for anymore. I leave the PVW/BTAC (as much as I would like them) to the others, this is the one bottle I go after every year. Rutledge is a living legend.

garbanzobean Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Maryland really doesn't get much of this, which is disappointing. Looks like I'm probably not getting anywhere near it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourbonJoe Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I had a taste of it at the distillery. I was not all that impressed. I thought the 2013 was much better.Joe :usflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Passed on a bottle of this today. 129 before tax. Too high.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I played the connection card, got the call and picked up one last week. I don't think any of it ever made it to a shelf in the central KY area, as supply was very limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed it would have popped up due to demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Anyone got any tasting notes to post? Hasn't arrived in SoCal just yet, but I've been promised a bottle.Sorry, I thought I saw a few of the guys post some notes the week of KBF (don't remember which thread). My condensed impressions without any notes...Color: light amber with thin legs Nose: softish with caramel, candied fruit and light alcohol bloomTaste: somewhat thinnish mouthfeel, but coats nice and velvety to compensate. Easy on entry with nice spice bloom coming on suddenly afterward. Picked up some mint mid way. Finish: good and lengthy finish with mint and fruit notes giving way while fairly good rye spice holds to end. Impressions: a very balanced and complex mingling of fine whiskey. I'll admit, I didn't care for it at first pour and it didn't help it at all that I also opened a HHSS to go SBS with. In comparison, I just thought it was light and thin and overpowered by the mint notes (I had to really work to find any familiar dry oak notes). After a few days, I returned to find a more favorable impression. The mint seems to have now mellowed and the balance is there with all the familiar players performing in sublime fashion (with a few unfamiliar players joining in:grin:). Based on it's proof, it just struck me a little lighter than I would have imagined and is a very easy drinker. Finally, I don't think it's worth it's two barrel proofer single barrel price, but if your a fan of 4R (or a collector), this is another example of their absolutely amazing profile diversity that just simply delivers offerings that are totally unique and unlike anything else out there.

I know quite a few member here don't believe whiskey changes but from my personal experience, particularly with Four Roses is that the change is quite noticeable for me after a couple weeks. The 2013 LE SmB had a much better nose when I first opened it but I noted that the flavors were not in harmony, the finish was quite sharp. However after a couple weeks, it really mellowed out for me but the last third became so subtle that I missed some of the flavors I remember from initial tastings.

jfw Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hands down the best whisky I had at SF WhiskyFest. I prefer the 2014 to the 2013, but I'm a sucker for a nice smooth finish. My wife poured out (into my glass) her PVW 23 to get a second pour of this. FR just keeps hitting home runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good price?That is an AMAZING price!!!! You should run to that store, buy it, and then walk out of the place like you stole it. All of mine have been at least $100 once you add in tax. Great find at a outstanding price. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
