I've been reacquainting myself with the standard Lot 40 which for the price and proof is a decent sipper. Looking forward to comparing the two!

BottledInBond Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 So, I am generally pretty negative on Whistle Pig, for a variety of reasons. But I was out and stopped into a place where I know the liquor guy and respect his knowledge. He had gotten two WP barrel picks and said I should try them both. So he poured me samples and I was really impressed with both. One was an MGP barrel, and the other was the Canadian. They were both very good, totally different profiles, and different proofs. I’m a sucker for aged MGP rye so bought one of those, $88. They also had a HWDR finished for a year in a Moscatel barrel. Normally I only use DR in cocktails as I think the young component shows a little harshness but the extra finishing on this one really rounded off some of those rough edges and it was nice neat. Grabbed one at $47. And grabbed a HWMWND for $90 because why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRich Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I’m diving into a recent purchase of a store select 13 yr old WhistlePig in honor of Dave. A damn good whiskey from a damn cool guy. We’ll miss you Dave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I am enjoying Kentucky Owl batch 2 immensely. Maybe even more than batch 1 (though that is a distant memory now). A few bottles were available here for what seemed like well below the US retail so I picked them up. I think if the price were better this would have much better reviews. Dangerously drinkable, especially with a dissolved ice cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a 4 roses bar mat. I love it! Those are all good rye choices by the way. If you find the Yippie a bit too overpowering w/ the wine, cut it with a little bit of regular ole $30 double rye to bump the rye spice a touch, and knock that wine finish off its high horse.

reeko Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I just finished my first 2018 lot 40 cask strength, it was so delicious! I'm glad I was able to score a few more. It's perfect for the holiday season. If any of you can score it, I find it much better than 2017, and it's 58.4% now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleCBreese Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I bought a WhistlePig store pick, but there is still no mention of the state/country of distillation. I was hoping to figure out if it was MGP or Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanner Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Just picked up a bottle of Rittenhouse BIB last night. I had forgotten how good it was. Out of the ryes I've tried, it's a solid second place to High West Double Rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaAlphaVictorEasy Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Was surprised to find two bottles of old label (DSP KY1) Rittenhouse BIB staring me in the face at a store with bars on the windows somewhere in Tennessee this past weekend. Both went home with me for a little under 60 after tax. I think it has been five years since I have seen the old label on the shelf.
