It’s really fantastic so maybe it’s the same juice as MK Cornerstone. I have found quite a lot of variety in the profiles of the rrsib bottles I have had. None of them have matched the flavor or viscosity of cornerstone. Which was a blend of 9 and 11 year ryes if I recall correctly. However I do have a bottle of the sib that is probably the oakiest thing in my collection, leading me to believe that barrels in the age range and possibly even older found their way into the sib program.

Now they are sitting on my shelf. Good times. After all these years? That's the current bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sitting behind a few bottles of 2018 new years barrell bourbon. Although it is the current bottle I'm still pretty sure these have been sitting a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattk Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 I went to my favorite store today. It is the final day before the new owners take control. End of an era. Over the years I got to know the owner and his family. They are such good people and wonderful friends. Crazy Joe. Man I'll miss stopping by and seeing you behind the counter. Today I bought a boxergrail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 From yesterday-- extremely interesting and flavorful. I was at a Leopold Bros. distillery tour when Todd was just shaking down his new three-chambered toy, so I really wanted to check out the liquid. Some additional maturation would be beneficial; but given the current price point-- probably totally unaffordable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I made the mistake yesterday of having a pour of the Cardinal Spirits Rye after EW 1783. The white dog note was ringing like a bell. As I've said before, order matters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 After warming up with short pours of two different ER10 store picks, it's now time for Fryeday. RR SiB Rye in the glass. Think I'll do a SBS with WTRB Rye in a minute. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kind of hoping as they make more and pay for the still the price might not go up too much. Probably a foolish hope and it is already at the age of what I am willing to pay even if it is older. Did not try the Dickel combo and probably won't without some stellar reviews from trusted sources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Dickel & Leopold Bros Collaboration in the glass. The more I drink it, the more I'm digging it. Even at 100 proof, it is is really holding holding its own after a 1792 FP pour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce, I can bring the Dickel x Leopold bottle to the spring event in Bardstown (or a sample bottle if I'm flying versus driving). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Beautiful day today. It was 18 yesterday and it's 70 today Having somw Willett on the deck.
