October 27, 20187 yr comment_797126 ^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 comment_797149 ^^ 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. Report

October 31, 20187 yr comment_797324 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 Report

November 4, 20187 yr comment_797530 Hmmm. Interesting, but so far, the Pikesville rye is speaking to me more than others.. Report
November 4, 20187 yr comment_797531 I'm very curious as to the Forester 1920. Let me know what you think once you've cracked her open! Report

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!

November 4, 20187 yr comment_797535 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. Report

November 6, 20187 yr comment_797609 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? Report
November 6, 20187 yr comment_797640 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! Report
November 7, 20187 yr comment_797655 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. Report
November 8, 20187 yr comment_797727 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. Report
