I've been working this one down slowly for a while.  Only OK, IMO.  Unfortunately, I never got a bottle of the 2004, 2005, early releases of this (which seem to be relatively highly regarded compared to this latest release).  But, I did find a fine use for the last few ounces of this bottle: kicking up a notch the Evan Williams Egg Nog that Mrs. Swamp and I have been dipping into the last couple of nights!  Happy Holidays, y'all!

Killed a 1792 SW. 'Tis the season of wheaters and I was getting into this one just about every night the past week.

An outstanding older expression of 4R that is sadly a scarcity nowadays. Happy to have more in the bunker.  Happy holidays to all!

Good bourbon. May pick up another bottle in the future, but others that I like better at that price range or less.

Man down. This was the 2yr. It did get better with time, but no denying it's young and rough around the edges. Call me when they release a 6yr.

So I'm up visiting family in Cleveland and come across this seasonal beverage, the Fig Fashioned. I must say, I absolutely loved it. The bar tender slipped me the recipe so I can make them when I get back home. Ha! Salute y'all!54b26ff701d6593e1c44a09fb7dbf597.jpg

I've had this. It's not bad. I think Larceny is better for the price point. Salute!

Larceny is one of the very few bottles I gave away after the first tasting. Did not like my bottle at all.

Had my final pour of this bottle tonight.  Thinking about using old bottle as a decanter.

Ha my main motivation for trying to get rid of this one. It’s actually not bad whiskey, just not special.

Agree.  My motivation as well, hence the heavy pour.   Not worth the price, in my opinion. It would be a good value in the $35-40 range, but that’s it.

Recently killed off a store pick 1.75 of Eagle Rare this is the second one of these that's gone to the bin since I got them in October 2015.  I continue to be on the lookout for these store picks as most of the ones I've tried have been excellent

Finished off my remaining RHF. Will use the bottle as a decanter. About to finish off a BMH small batch, which will hit the recycle bin.
