No one had the 25yo on their list but the 18yo was noted to have a bit of sugar (but less than some brands). I have had the 18yo but not the 25yo as best I can recall and it was OK but not something I felt the need to buy. And at that time I felt the need to buy quite often so you can take that as you will! Lol appreciate it. That’s why I appreciate forums like this, saves me from shelling out the big bucks for stuff that may not be worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgalunas Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I saw a page back that the 4S Sagacity was suspected to be EU only. I just found it in KC for $65ish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not EU only. It is in New York and even in little ol' Atlanta that I know of. It is a 750ml bottle so a US release was apparently always planned. They often come in pairs but no word on another label as of now that I can find.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurgalunas Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Havent heard specifics on #2, but the distributor said both would be in the more reasonable price range this year. Also, next year, a new release every 2 months is expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Oh nice, another no-nonsense ex-bourbon release with excellent age. What's the naming convention here, say, why not "2006" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was already a release in the US as a 12yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a reference to the flurry of blogs talking about sugar in rum lists a couple of years ago. I of course know that added sugar in rum is still a thing!

The Whistlepig 15 (and Boss Hogs) and Glenmorangie Signet tops are also impressive if their heft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
