0895 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 UPS showed up with these today. I just finished the wheated.... time to try the rye recipe. Are you missing anything? No. Stick to regular BT and WSR. I’m just bored and curious... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Thursday is my day to run errands after work, and one of the places I stopped in had a couple of bottles that wanted to come home with me. I have not had a RHF in awhile, and am very curious about the Smoke Wagon. I hope this ends my bottle purchase for awhile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been very impressed with them this summer and fall. It is impressive MGP juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfoots Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I was happy to get one of these yesterday and even happier to crack it open with his brother. So much fruit from a rye. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonman Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The new Binny's in the area had a coupon for today & tomorrow, so I picked up a trio of Knob Creek Gift sets (with two tumblers) for what works out to 20.99 each; I'm very happy with that deal! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeythink.com Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Jewel, a local grocery chain, picked 5 BT barrels. Funny thing is it is ONLY available in 375 ml bottles. Well, fine with me, its 14 bux, so I grabbed a couple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosmith Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 What's the world coming to? Safeway supermarkets doing Weller private barrels. And, they had it "in the back". $19.99 plus tax. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's limited to the Gurnee store which just opened a few weeks ago; let me know if you want a copy of the email. It also went out in our local advertising flyers.

So much fruit from a rye. I remember when the Handy was the booby prize of the BTAC. I always got a bottle (or two) and loved it. Like most LEs they had good years and better years. Most are ranking this years as the best ever and as luck would have it I couldn't beg, borrow, or steal one anywhere. Congrats on your great find! I'm jealous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm jealous. It’s my first purchased BTAC bottle so I was plenty happy to have one for myself as opposed to a bar pour. I honestly couldn’t remember my tasting experiences with the 2-3 prior THH’s other than it being a face punch and lingering. The 2020 is a fruit and citrus bomb for me after just opening with the only spice at the back end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a lot going on and sometimes takes a bit of "unpacking"to discover the complexities. THH is an underrated whiskey and can be VERY rewarding. I am very much looking forward to exploring my newly acquired 2020 bottle as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yobber76 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Picked up a 4R Small Batch Select. I have never drank anything but yellow label before, I found this very pleasant. I will try SiB next. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first ever bottle of Handy was either a '12 or '13 and I remember getting grapefruit on the first sip. I don't think I've ever tasted it in a whiskey again since that bottle.
