Guest Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Apparently Old Grand Dad 114 isn't in your market, too bad.Not readily. I passed up a bottle yesterday @ $92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathevocation Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Also enjoying a small pour of WT RB. It always seems to hit the right notes with me, which is great since it's the cheapest readily available high-proof bourbon around here.Got two bottles. A classic.

Harry in WashDC Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Here's a link to a Fred Minnick blogpost re: a craft whiskey I am familiar with.http://www.fredminnick.com/2015/08/17/australia-to-import-catoctin-creek-ryes/Catoctin Creek in Purcellville, Virginia, makes some nice products AND will be selling them in Australia soon. I like their ryes although they ARE grainy/grassy. If you like the minty finish of MPG ryes, you'll be disappointed - there's mint but just a hint.DISCLOSURE: I just like their products; I don't even know the owners - never been there; just go to bars that have their products and buy some on my own.Oh, yeah: more info - http://catoctincreekdistilling.com/ Edited August 18, 2015 by Harry in WashDC Reason for the apparent off-thread post which isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxnutz Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Not readily. I passed up a bottle yesterday @ $92.That's insane. Stocked up before I stopped my o.s jaunts. $20 was all you need. Why are we so dicked around with pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxnutz Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 It is a "Barrel Proof" offering, even at that low proof. The whiskey was barreled at a low 107 proof, and actually lost proof during its 17 years in the rickhouses. A real oddity, for sure.I hope so. Would love to try it here before splashing the cash. I've read several positive reviews but half of me thinks it's just a marketing ploy of bourbon they didn't know what to do with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm pretty sure they didn't intend to open them up to find <90 proof whiskey ! I guess this is the case, When you're given lemons, make lemonade. Thankfully, this sounds like good lemonade. I look forward to trying mine when it gets in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Dans have dropped the price of Blantons Private Reserve to $53, grabbed a bottle, first one in a long while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yeah, I picked up a couple. It's not on special that often and $53 is a steal.Also got some Larceny, Evan Williams SB 04, and Four Roses SB this week. All new for me. Going to do a head to head with Larceny and Makers 46 now.

camduncan Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Let us know what you thought of the Larceny and Makers 46... both excellent examples IMO.Picked up some Pike Creek Port Finished Canadian Whisky yesterday for Dad for Fathers Day. Hoping to sample it and also crack a bottle of Kentucky Dram tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Let us know what you thought of the Larceny and Makers 46... both excellent examples IMO.I had a small pour of each then a large pour of the Makers. Richer, smoother, fuller, much better mouth feel. Almost felt like it wasn't chill filtered in comparison to the Larceny. I'll revisit it in a few weeks. The first pour of a new bottle is often a little harsh i find, compared to the Makers which was in it's last 3rd and probably 3-4 months on the shelf.
