October 22, 20187 yr Wasn't that thimbleful before I could not resist. Mixing that gallon right now... Edited October 22, 20187 yr by Jon L
October 27, 20187 yr Dang, I wish I knew about Springbank before the prices went up ☹️ Edited October 27, 20187 yr by Jon L
October 27, 20187 yr ^that one’s all on the distribution. used to be Preiss, switched to Pacific Edge maybe 2-3 years back. before the UK cut off exporting i got Longrow 18 for $60-70 less per bottle than it is in my area now. unfortunately springer doesn’t have many substitutes for that profile. so if it’s your thing, gonna have to bite the bullet.
October 27, 20187 yr ^^ this is true.. good observation. i had not thought about it, but Springer is Springer. i cannot say i have had another whisky and mistook it for the campbeltown malt.
October 31, 20187 yr Interesting. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/10/29/dining/drinks/bourbon-aging-buffalo-trace-last-drop.amp.html
October 31, 20187 yr Agree. I can’t imagine what a 50yr Pappy would cost. Just their investment alone in storing it, at least Scotland is naturally air conditioned Edited October 31, 20187 yr by naamanf
October 31, 20187 yr When the consumer wants something illogical take part of what is unique about your product and change it to meet demand? Sure, why not.
November 3, 20187 yr Early Christmas. Especially excited to try Rampur Select from India and Redbreast 12 ?♂️
November 4, 20187 yr Hmmm. Interesting, but so far, the Pikesville rye is speaking to me more than others..
November 4, 20187 yr I'm very curious as to the Forester 1920. Let me know what you think once you've cracked her open!

Actually, I should have said Pikesville is speaking to me more than others, not including the Old Forester 1920. I already have drunk Forester 1920 plenty in past and still have a half bottle left, but only picked up another bottle in the picture to make sure I don't run out It's truly wonderful bourbon, and its 115 proof nutty, creme brulee palate is DeLicious,, and everyone should have a bottle!

Noted. It's on the list.
November 4, 20187 yr The Pikesville is a excellent rye especially when found at the proper price. The 1920 is also a really good, best thing to come out of Brown Foreman.

Is that the one with a note of Anise to it?

November 6, 20187 yr Anise is very much similar to the key flavour in liquorice -- it's a very distinctive taste. Not for everyone. I happen to have enjoyed it when I first started on the 1920 (went back and checked -- yes, it is, indeed, the one I found to have a note of anise to it), but by the end of the bottle, I was tired of it. It's also possible that not all bottles have a note of anise to it, and just the batch I got. I will try it again to know for sure. (It obvious wasn't that much of a turn-off to me, if I'm willing to try it again.) Me: flipping between Sazerac Rye, Rendezvous Rye, and Farmstock #2 Rye. Rye? Rye not?
November 6, 20187 yr I gotta try more Rye's. Flipping among Rittenhouse, Pikesville, and Lot 40 rye, that Rittenhouse a damn good deal and at healthy 100 proof too!
November 7, 20187 yr Sazerac Rye is the deal of the century -- they only allow me to buy one bottle at a time here in Virginia, but I do every time I see it. I will have to try the Pikesville.
November 8, 20187 yr Sometimes I am such a sheeple. I hope I don’t regret the Old Forester, never been much of a fan of previous incarnations. I am a fan of the proofs.
November 9, 20187 yr Standing in Total Wine looking to break my $80/bottle budget for something Real good. What to get?
