My instinct would be to pass on it too though I also hadn't realized until I read a couple recent press things that this was 11 year old rye, even more interesting that it's 4 years in standard barrels and then 7 in quarter casks, part of me wonders what that kind of aging would lend to the juice flavor wise.

Spade Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Passed on an ECBP at $70. That's probably the going rate for that now I suppose. I did however grab a 1.75 EC12 for $50. Edited April 12, 2017 by Spade typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington State Liquor Tax Calculator Cost Breakdown: List Price $49.99 20.5% Tax $10.25 $3.7708/Liter Tax $2.83 Total Cost At Checkout $63.07 Looks like our Australian tax on all bourbon. Currently (just in time for the Easter long weekend) Jim Beam White is sitting at its full retail price of $38. When it's on special it sits at around $34-$35, but this is for a 700ml 37.5% version.

Oh, Cam. I feel for you. Montgomery County MD stores have 80 proof JBW 750s on sale for US$13.30, 1.75L at $26 plus 6% sales tax (which is NOT just a tax on alcohol).

TexanBrad Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Passed on the mew Basil Hayden Rye. it was $51. Tried it last week, I'd pass on it at half the price. Under proofed and uninspiring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the Oregon based stuff it is pretty bad no matter what color the label is. But if it distracts the bourbon glitterati away from solid well priced whiskey then I hope they made a lot of it!

I certainly have no interest in getting a bottle. It also doesn't make me interested in trying the rest of the bourbon from Stein Distillery.

BottledInBond Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Passed on a 2017 batch of Michter's 10. Have any of you tried the new 2017 batch? I didn't think the 2015/2016 bottles were great so I'm passing for a while until I hear something better about the current offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlutz Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I passed on RY10 at $52 after coupon because I didn't enjoy my first bottle and I wasn't willing to take the chance on another. MD peeps, PO had 5 bottles on the shelf this afternoon if you want to run up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Stopped by Liquor Barn after playing golf and they were doing tastings of Rabbit Hole, bourbon, rye and sherry cask finish. The bourbon wasn't bad, the rye didn't seem to be that high of a proof, pretty dry finish. Sherry cask finish wasn't for me, too much of the sherry flavor and I don't like sherry. The bourbon at $49.99 wasn't worth pulling the trigger on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am truly enjoying the BH Rye. Very well done whiskey, IMO. I enjoy how it starts slow, but continues to hit additional gears throughout. And, $50ish ain't a bad price these days. Specifically referencing TB's under proofed comment, I feel just the opposite. Indeed, it is 80 proof. But, it's profile punches above that to my tastes.

For Summer drinking, I don't mind going down proof, and I've usually skipped ryes altogether due to the pepper and spice. The Pikesville 80 proof is $13 but just gets lost now that I've tasted its bigger brother (@ $50+ usually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
