Was bummed out that I missed out on the special Derby release they did to only one liquor chain in Loiusville, rather quietly at that. It was a barrel selected by Brent Elliott and a team ofothers who tasted a select NINE barrels and all inthe end selected that one barrel, Elijah Craig  |

Happy hunting. Although the price is slowly creeping up on these as well, probably still great bang for the buck. I'll be looking! Burner02 wrote:I believe it may have arrived last week.

We just got an OESK from the local. its damn good. was only 44.99 plus tax!!!! Price hike is coming though supposedly. Current retail is usually around $60 not on sale. I think its going to $65.

Frank, I think you would like this one a lot. It is aged in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherry butts. If there is such a beast, this is a creamy Scotch. I've been meaning to get my hands on some of this.... guess I'll really have to now!! TMCTLT wrote:Well we didn't get drawn but that's okay we still had a great time!! One of the two people who did get drawn, declined the purchase of the EJ 18 yr. and one of the attendees behind them snagged it for $129 IIRC. We tried a few whiskies we hadn't had from the HH distillery and came home with several since they did a " one day special " for those attending. Picked up a few E.Craig @ $22 per.
Brought home a bottle of Bernheim Rye / Evan Williams Reserve / (3) Elijah Craig and couldn't pass up a bottle of Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style bourbon ( BIL brought a bottle to Nic. and it was pretty darn good ) BUmmer on not gettin drawn. Sounds like I missed a damn good time! Bernie is great!!!! How much was the Old Fo 1920? Thats one of my favorite non limited new releases. Also I lovvvveeee the bernheim whiskey! Thats good chit for a change of pace. |

it's not the regular 12 year, right? It has the darker label? |
| 4008. Author: Speyside | Date: Wed, 5/31/2017, 2:26PM EST | |
It has a red label, I think it is their only 12. On a secondary label above the main label it says Sherry Wood. |

FYI
Less than 20 cases coming to the Sip.
Distribution will be similar to the special releases of years past.
So, I think y'all will know where to look. The trick is, getting the store owner to sell you a bottle. |

Yeah I wondered about the rum influence...wished we could have tried before buying, IIRC @ or around $90 ( it was our Anniversary so we picked up a bottle )
Wild Turkey American Spirit?!?!?!?!?
Yes, I may just be a simpleton but @ $20 I don't think it's terrible. It's going away isn't it?

@Namadio, bought bottle last year or the year before (can't remember) think it was around the 120 range. I really enjoy it, wish I would have bought more than one bottle. The problem with the Longrow Red is it's is released annually in small quantities and every year a different type of red wine cask is used to mature the whisky.

Two years ago it was at an event of some sort (or maybe that was 3 years ago) very near to the Xmas holidays and I was out of town. I'd like to think email but its hard to say. They do what they want ;D I know I got a bottle a few years back. They typically get 1 blanton's barrel a year. Edit: The event was not the early december whiskey fest. It was a smaller thing at BRL HQ on like 23 Dec or some silly date close to the holidays. |
