Rare Breed

High West Rendezvous Rye

Last night had a couple of pours of Knob Creek Single Barrel hand select, aged 14 yrs 2 months, 124 proof.

Aberlour 18

^ How does it compare to the 16?

Very similar. Maybe just slightly smoother, and slightly smokier.

The 16 just does it for me, though.

Russell’s Reserve

Michter's single barrel rye

E.H. Taylor Single Barrel

had a sniff of sazerac rye

found a few bottles on the shelf and couldn't resist

just bought this a few weeks ago but haven't tried it

Knob Creek

I really enjoy he single barrel but the small batch is probably a better buy due to the price point.

Garrison Brothers

Wasn't going to but brother in law twisted my arm.

^And?

It was good, not sure if it was $80 good but on sale for mid $52 was worth it.

did it make your head snap back?

Good news for the Four Roses fans

"Most people strive to make their mark in their career that will leave a lasting impression with their peers. Master Distiller of Four Roses Brent Elliott set out to make a big one this week, as the company announced Four Roses Small Batch Select. The first permanent line extension for Four Roses in more than 12 years, Four Roses Small Batch Select will be bottled at 104 proof, 14 points higher than the standard Four Roses Small Batch. While we’ll hold judgement until after we have a chance to taste it, we’re excited to see Elliott leave such a big mark so early on in his tenure as Master Distiller."


Quoted from Breaking Bourbon.

Came across a bottle of Garrison Brothers Barrel Proof (2018 Release) today for $183 and change. Actually, there were two bottles for that price each and they were both still on the self when I left.

Did score a bottle of Oban 14 for $49 and change.
