GaryT Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 As this is now being released nationally, curious if anyone has had a chance to taste multiple "Acts", and if so - if they've noticed any variation. Because if there is, we have to geek out to find out which is the BEST one, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Absolutely. Let me know when you see it locally and I'll help accumulate the "sample population". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Absolutely. Let me know when you see it locally and I'll help accumulate the "sample population".I haven't seen it here, but saw Mark pick one up recently (assuming that was local). Hoping he can make it out in November - maybe Mr. Perkins will have a bottle and we could setup a three-way . . . of the whiskey (just to be clear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanstaafl2 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have Act 1 and have seen Act 2.3 and possibly 2.4 around town. Have only tried the Act 1 bottle so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Have you found any yet? It's all around my area in ATL. I picked up a bottle, but I've yet to open it. PM me if you are searching for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Just a heads up to Maryland folk: I saw this in Baltimore for $69 today. Looked like there was plenty. Shoot me a PM if you want the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonami Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The rumoured difference is that the Act 2 and later batches spent less time in the port and french oak barrels--so the re-barreling influence will be milder. Not sure if this is true or born out by blind taste-tested. I can just say that I really enjoyed Act 2.2 and it's a bottle I keep going back to.

I've been reluctant to purchase the newer batches and have been putting off opening my last batch 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatgoo Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have 2.1 and I feel it is pretty heavy on the port. Very unique whiskey. I like it, but not sure I love it like others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjbeggs Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've got an act 1 that i just opened last weekend. Everyone agreed it was fantastic. I'm picking up another bottle next month when I visit Illinois. Not sure what ACT it will be, but I'll have something to compare to ACT 1 when I get home.

Enoch Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I tried 2.2 at Whiskey Fair and thought it was fantastic. I was told it was already in SC but I have yet to find any and the people at Ben Arnold don't seem to know what I am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanstaafl2 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Wasn't the f used in place of the current s in olde English?It is an s. It is just an old form of writing it. It shows up in the Bill of Rights for example as shown on wiki. Basically a fanciful style of writing an italicized letter s in certain situations. They were referred to as a long s and short s.

greatgoo Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I was on the fence on how good this whiskey really was until I gave it some air time. Make room for me on the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
