The KC Cask Strength Rye is really good, IMO. 

I actually preferred the Double Barrelled rye and it's about $15 cheaper.

For some reason, this never showed up in No. Cal.  At least not at K&L or any of the other stores I frequent.  I would love to try it as I did hear good things about it.

Passed on a bunch of rye..... again, seems like these have been here several weeks now. I wonder if there would be that many single barrels if the label said BT instead of KC???

 

 

which one would you pick up????

Those High West store picks. They're barrel proof and have interesting finishes, for $40! I would grab the American Prairie pick and the Double Rye finished in Armagnac cask.

I didn't really pass on this since it hasn't come in yet.  However, it will be a pass when it does.

 

One of the local liquor stores posted this on their Facebook Page. 

 

"Preservation Distillery is going to release to Indiana their Rare Perfection 14 year retail $134.99 and 15 year retail $169.99 and Old St Nick retail $153.99. I do not know where their whiskey is sourced from. Should we buy a little or as much as I can??"

 

Based on the response, they will have no trouble selling what they get.  

I tried some of the 15yr this weekend. It's horrible. It wasn't just me. The other 4-5 people around me who tried it had the same reaction.

Same shop, Weller SR for $150 and OWA for $90 - when I asked why the SR was priced higher, the manager said umm because .....

Also same shop, $299 for M10 bourbon and rye

Sad thing is that the rest of the stuff in the store was priced well - i.e. Baby Saz $35, EHT SmB $45, etc

Yikes, no problem getting Weller SR for $19.99, but have yet to find any OWA or W12 in my area.

I’d have taken rye JTS Brown BIB, I’ve never seen the BIB. I’d also likely had taken the JW Dant BIB which I haven’t seen in Houston in years.

I’ve got a JTSB and it’s pretty good pour/value for the price. The JWD is also on my list, just not very high priority wise

What is an “iteam”?

It's "item", but phonetically spelled by a person whose native language isn't English and who can't spell for shit. Pick whatever nationality works for you :D

 

It's kind of like me trying to spell Scotch names by how they're pronounced, total disaster, lol. How the hell is Ledaig pronounced Le-chig????
