If you like 3, you'll like 4. I bought two at retail.
Yes. Also used to be single barrel, but they dropped that designation a few years back due to their bottling methods. I still love ER store honey picks.

I'm more jealous of the Pliny than I am off the Blanton's!
I tried to buy a case online during the recent release. It was gone in a minute or two.

Are they shipping?
I picked up a bottle of Larceny this week. I'm not sure I like it. It's very smooth, but also a bit thin and bland to my palate. I tend toward ryes and high rye bourbons.
I was much happier with the Rare Breed chaser.

Not outside California. I had a friend who would have reshipped for me.

Drank this neat last night. On the rocks tonight. For $29, I think it's a steal. It compares very favorably to everything else in that price range. I will compare it to Eagle Rare one day this week to be sure. I think I need to buy the rest that were on the shelf.

Bought. For a friend. Two are easy to identify. One will be very difficult...

Larceny sucks. I hear barrel proof is good though.
I thought I'd heard good things about it, but apparently not. Luckily only $30 down the tubes.
I can put it at the back of the bar and bring it out when I start hosting again. I'll have no problem getting rid of it.

If you prefer something on the spicier rye end, Rare Breed is definitely the better option of the two (also find a bottle of the Alberta Rye if you can!). I wouldn't say Larceny "sucks" though
and a direct comparison to rare breed is a bit unfair, you're comparing a $25-$30 bottle (Larceny) to $45-$50 bottle (Rare Breed). The Larceny Barrel Proof is supposed to be very good (#1 on Whiskey Advocate's top 20 this year), I can't recall if I've seen anyone on here try it yet. I've had an eye out for it but typically anything that pops up on that WA top 20 list gets cleaned out for 3-6 months around here.ssanel54

The WA ranking was for Larceny Batch B520, I believe. Not sure if thats still available on shelves, or how it compares to more recent releases.If you prefer something on the spicier rye end, Rare Breed is definitely the better option of the two (also find a bottle of the Alberta Rye if you can!).

I'm not sure on bottle 1, but 2 is Bardstown Discovery #2 (maybe #1), and 3 is Remus Repeal Reserve IV

Oh sure, I know that they're apples and oranges. I picked up the Larceny on a whim, knowing that it was out of my lane but also having some vague idea in my head that "I'd heard it was good" without remembering anything specific. Maybe it is good for some, but it's definitely not for me.If you prefer something on the spicier rye end, Rare Breed is definitely the better option of the two (also find a bottle of the Alberta Rye if you can!).

I recently watched the How To Drink video where Greg made a matrix of Manhattans and got plastered on camera. The whiskey that he consistently raved about in this video was, I believe, Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye. I'm not sure if that one's available around here, but it's on my list to look for. I believe I've seen the Alberta Rye Dark Batch locally but haven't tried it.
Go find some of the Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye, it's very good
Check the last 4 or 5 pages of this thread, several others will concur as well

Haven't seen any of the Alberta in GA yet. Would like to try it if it shows up here. Highlights of the past week were getting an entire case of Eh Taylor Single Barrel STORE PICKS and a case of 4roses Barrel Strength store picks. I was shocked the store sold me them buy the case. Unfortunately my local friends swallowed up all the extras at cost.

Haha, the final things to do are build a custom table, get some comfy chairs, replace the wall shelves with dark stained wood and pipe brackets.

Fuck all that other shit. I need close up pictures of your collection. Oh, and, will you marry me? I cook well, I'm slowly becoming a decent bartender. If you drink enough I'm a sexy m-fer!

Fantastic selection, for sure! Great open bottles of Single Malts there as well, some of my favorites are there. Is that Arran the 18?
Also, I see you have six tubes of Signatory Cask Strength Edition decanters there. Which ones?
