I have my daughter on the hunt for it

Make sure she prioritized the 136 proof... The destilary releases a different batch every few months and they vary in alcohol proof (and quality, althought there's no 'bad' bottle, really). I think the latest was the 128 proof and it wasn't as good as the previous bottling... The labels are a little different now as well...

I did. Thanks.
 
SCORE!!!

Once in a while, I don't mind having a little time on my hands, waiting to pick up my wife. A local liquor store received their allotment of one bottle of the new 23-year just this morning. $128 plus tax. (Ouch -- The wife has forgiven me -- as long as she gets to taste it.)

"What we have with the 23-year-old is a bourbon made from stock found in the old Stitzel-Weller Warehouses. The whiskies were distilled between 1990 – 1993 at the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. It is bottled at a slightly higher ABV (45.3% to be exact) and has a mash bill that’s 86% corn, 8% barley and 6% rye."

Two more years of production coming up -- a 24-year and a 25-year, in 2019 -- before the original stock runs out.

I don't drink bourbon much, but I had the 22 and loved it. I'll keep my eyes peeled for this one

Visited the distillery this morning. I had a flight of bourbon and whiskey at 10 am. Decided to pick up a couple of bottles. I'll save it for the debut of the bourbon chips.

The second bottle is for damn good friend that appreciates a good drink. I'll bring it next week @ChaosRock

Can't wait to try it!

You liked their Rye better?
 
You see this? It's ass. If somebody made me choose between this and Ten High, I would actually have to think about it. They charge tourist prices for it too, there in Gatlinburg. Lucky for me somebody else paid the bill.

If anyone's been waiting on tenterhooks, the final cask of Black Bowmore 1964 has been bottled. 191 bottles worldwide, at $50,000 each.

No checks. Damn.

:rolleyes:

We have a local outdoor restaurant with excellent live music that pours us about a third of a snifter of Macallan 12 for $12. We tend to go there a lot. :cool:

Had I know she was going to pour like that I would've ordered the Macallan 45 that was on the list...

Discount for buying a case? :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Was 75/oz, which I didn't think was that bad a price.

It would make for some interesting comparisons, particularly if you have bottles of the Macallan commemorative recipe "Twenties", "Thirties", "Forties", and "Fifties" limited edition bottlings done about 15 years ago laying around. :cool:

A custom blended bottle from William Grant, which the bar manager at Norman's in Orlando poured for us last night. Stupendous.

p.s.: It's actually vatted, not a blended whiskey -- it contains no grain whiskey at all. The current term being pushed for such whiskies is "blended malt."
