bayouredd Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 OK, this is one of those bottles that no matter what the reviews say, I am going to pull the trigger at some time or other. My obsessions rule in these matters at times; here's the shot. Since I did need the decanter, I consider this a $50 bottle with a $25 decanter. They'll be no forgiveness on the next one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the worst Diageo juice. And, yeah it’s a cool bottle for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Sitting outside LB in E'town right now, I'm 4th in line so my first summer purchase is going to be either Stagg Jr., Rockhill or RY 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymoall Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Picked this up last night. Owner said barrel was 8 years old. Haven’t had Kentucky Spirit for a while and looking forward to this. Noticed that it was bottled in 2016 when I got it home, maybe they didn’t sell well? On a side note, the state just tacked on another $5.00 to Kentucky Spirit. Ugh.

Hang onto the empty as a decanter, may be the last KS you see in that beautiful bottle style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanstaafl2 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Our latest pick of KC 120 proof arrived yesterday and I must say it is drinking even better than I remember. 10 years old but when we tasted the sample it was better than a 14yo option we had. Still is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still is! We just got our KC120 pick in yesterday. Except we went with the 14y3m old barrel. The other two were 14y1m, and 10y5m. All were very good, the 10y was 2nd choice. The one we picked is one of the best I’ve ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbrink Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Well the price of curiosity is apparently $105. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beam mashbill, yeast, aging, etc. holds up quite well across a range of ages and proofs. I am not sure how they determine what ends up in the KC bottles compared to Bookers or Bakers...but I like all three. With KC, I like the NAS just as well as I did the 9-year age stated. I also find I like some 9 year old KCSB and also some 14 year old KCSB. Good is good, regardless of age or proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 About once every 3 or 4 months, I stock up on some regulars as well as a few outliers. I fill in purchases of single bottles of different offerings when they become available (e.g., HMcK10, ECBP, etc.). Thanks to a fellow SBer (PaulO), I hit the southside of Indy for a 30% off sale at Kroger. My local Kroger has a similar sell but less selection. Anyway, I ended up with several FRSB @ $23.78, MMCS @ $35.67, Rare Breed @ $26.57, KCSB @ $28.67. I only mention the prices because I am one cheap bastard and I like a bargain. I had enough left over for an Arni's Pizza, dinner at BW3 for the family, and a bourbon shopping trip in Lexington next week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverc Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I normally never drink ryes, but do have a small number of them in the collection. I've heard good things about the Knob Creek cask strength rye and picked it up today. Cracked it this afternoon while cooking and I must say it's pretty good. I think the mashbill must have more corn in it, since it's not too spicy, and has some sweetness I like as more of a bourbon fan. Great mouthfeel and a really nice finish. Not too bad for $69.99.

Awesome! Just curious, have you tried the KCSB Rye (115 proof)? I wonder how it compares to the cask strength which is typically about 4 proof points higher (119 v. 115). I haven't seen the cask strength but have seen plenty of the 115 proof single barrel. Edited June 24, 2018 by mbroo5880i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockhill Farms, and because there were so few people in line I got back in line and picked up a Stagg Jr., then got back in line and picked up a RY 10 y.o. and then got in line but didn't see anything else up front that I wanted. Getting ready to head home when I saw a guy going towards the front of the store with a Blanton's so I asked if they had anymore and the very nice lady went to the back and come back with a bottle. Here is my total haul for the day. Edited June 24, 2018 by CardsandBourbon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen a few others all over $200, I'm sure that played into the decision somewhat some misguided belief that I got a "deal". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still is! Funny you should mention that! I just did a tasting of samples with my local last night and we also had a 10yr old and two 14yr olds. The 10yr old was the most balanced of the three. One of the 14yr olds was close behind but the 10 was best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surtur Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Finally found one for $139. I was hesitant about chasing it, but after such a glowing review from our good buddy RareBird, and being a Wild Turkey groupie, I had to do it. Also found Longbranch for $35 which I grabbed. The irony is I can’t drink either for a few more days but the nose on Revival is......divine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
