Ishad Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 MWND at $70. Was going to put some AE rye in a tasting, hopefully this is a good substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 MWND at $70. Was going to put some AE rye in a tasting, hopefully this is a good substitute.Of course we all have different taste but IMHO MWND is 100% more better than AE and cost less, at least here anyway.Hope you enjoy it as well.

tanstaafl2 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Came upon a couple of Ritt BIB 354's. Didn't really need more but for reasons I can't fully explain, other than a brief but intense episode of WN, they ended up in my shopping cart...

Cracked it last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. Finish definitely isn't as overpowering as AE Rye, but it is still sweet so I think it will finish off the tasting nicely.

zeeck Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Just grabbed a WFE 8-year rye at the Binny's by my work. Guy stocking the shelves was nice enough to let me know they had them behind the counter, otherwise I would have never seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffrey r Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Care to share where in NJ?I picked one up at a Bottle King. If you have one near you, it might be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was Bottle King. Needed a few days to smooth out. Did you happen to notice that they are the only place around that has Walking Stick?

KyleCBreese Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Stumbled upon some Ritt BIB DSP-354 from a store I've never been to before. I've never had Ritt Rye, but my first impressions of this are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Vino Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Nice find. While the 354s were still around, I did a SBS with the DSP-1 and found that I preferred the 354. I bunkered several - all in the low $20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Bought a Ritt BiB just so I can use the $5 mail-in rebate that came in an email from HH earlier this week. Didn't hurt that the Ritt was only $17.89 to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccleve23 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 So I had a lucky find today. I was in line waiting to check out at one of the stores I frequent, noticing the super high prices for the BTAC (Saz 18 for 599; GTS for 299) and Pappy on the back shelf, when I noticed the tag for the Thomas Handy for 99. I heard this years wasn't that great but I thought why not. Well when I got to the car I looked at the label and noticed the proof was 128.6 proof. It appears that I stumbled upon a 2011 Handy.

Maybe they are hand selected "honey barrels" and maybe they aren't, who knows. But this is about the only one where the typical MSRP of $60-$70 is about as much as I am interested in paying. If MSRP is even higher than that now, which wouldn't surprise me, then it is pretty much one I am not interested in at all. It's good but it ain't that good!Which likely means I am not buying much Handy in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 So I passed on a THH at $199.99 today. Would not pay that for any of the current BTAC let alone the Handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedonist Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 The current ryes over 2 yrs have all been MGPI. If it says "Distilled in Indiana" on the bottle that is a dead certainty.Oh dear. That's too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
