geclbxf Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I have had this annual release in 2018 and 2019, and I really liked 2018 recently when I had at a bar. I see that the 2020 version is out in Ohio, has anyone tried it yet and have any thoughts if its worth the $200+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM in Bourbon Country Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 It is very good! The hotel I run is selling it currently, we have a bottle left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Have it, tried it, like it. But I have been getting it since the first release back in 2012 (although I got shut out in 2019. If you know where I can find a 2019, at about retail of course, send me a PM!) Is it worth $200? Very little is and I have been buying it lately mostly because I started buying it from the beginning. I also bought the Tawny Port barrel this year which costs even more. I like it as well but doubt I would buy it again because of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact it is still available should be cause for concern for the Hendersons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Wes is worried or smiling, because they’ll still sell out of an overpriced bourbon by msrp standards. Distribution was limited to 6 states and the distillery obviously held a lot back. Personally, I like the over-pricing as I think it cuts down on speculators and the secondary market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I didn’t get one of those and I’ve bunkered both of these, so I’m not sure they’re worth it. Nonetheless, I was able to get them.
