The Jimmy Russell 70th Anniversary was only a special release and it got snatched up pretty quickly around here as people realized how good it was.   They WT 101 8-year has been out in Texas for a month or so and it initially got snatched up quickly, but is now sitting on the shelf at MSRP ($45ish) at almost every liquor store I have gone to in the last couple of weeks.  

 

Is PA a liquor control state?  That might explain the current scarcity of the 101 8-year.  For whatever reason, I have heard it sometimes takes longer to get stuff consistently on shelves when the state is more involved.

 

For what it is worth, I will take Rare Breed over the 101 8-year for about the same price.

You may be right about Pennsy,  where all liquor is sold in State stores.   I haven't seen it yet in Jersey,  but I'll get on board with your optimism.  

 

I like WT at 101,  so I'll grab the 8 year.  I like blending Rare Breed and RR10,  which gets me the proof and even more age.

Interesting.

What ratio of the Rare Breed & RR10?
