Very easy to drink. I believe it was made for the UK market. Fortunate that after a night of wine, buddy wanted to open a new bottle while we watched the warriors game.

#1 just announced (sounds delicious):
https://www.whiskyadvocate.com/top2...ar-old-offerman-edition-guinness-cask-finish/
Wow. I guess I need to go pick one up at my local big box before they are impossible to find.
I grabbed one at costco a couple months ago. It's tasty, definitely get some of the roasty chocolate notes from the Guinness casks. Better than the first Offerman edition, but I still prefer the 16 I think.
Yeah, it's a good Lagavulin imo. I like the first Offerman better myself but I understand someone having the opposite stance. The 46% helps those for sure and I wish the 16 was 46% as well. And I agree, I think I like the 16 better, even at 43%. I'm a fanboy of the distillery though, so definitely biased. The 12 Cask Strength is still the king to me although prices on it have been increasing crazily, almost to a point of just me giving up on new purchases.

Yeah I keep looking for a 12cs to try at retail, but they’ve been scarce. Haven’t tried the distillers edition either, which sounds tasty, just wish it were a higher abv.

Peated scotch, meh, still sounds like it will taste like cigarette ash, Guinness finish or not.

Little Book Chapter 2 (2018). What’s a good price?
Oh boy. I started my whisk(e)y journey in college with Scotch. Mostly the standards you'd find in any bar (Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Macallan). Then I discovered Islays and I was hooked. It wasn't until later (in my 30s) that I got into Bourbon and it took me a while to get comfortable with higher proofs. Now I'm a proof whore. But when I occasionally go back to peated Scotch, it's so comfortable. Like an old worn in pair of shoes. Now I want a pour. HahahahahahaPeated scotch, meh, still sounds like it will taste like cigarette ash, Guinness finish or not.
Just ship it to me! I would say $250 or more. It's got to be really hard to find. @Josh Kifer has an open bottle and it is delicious!

Coworker picked up 5 of these for $89.99 a piece, about as cheap as I think you’ll ever find in my area.

Holy heck! I have still yet to find one in the wild. If you have extras please let me know

I wish, but all of us in my office are pretty big whiskey guys and they got handed out fast. There is a small market in a coastal town in my county where the guy who runs the liquor department basically sells this type of stuff at cost as long as he knows the people buying it aren't intending on flipping it.
That’s so cool! Wow yeah that’s unheard of by us
Didn’t even know Bakers was doing private pick single barrels, have heard amazing things about the elusive 13y, and at almost 12y I had to try this for ~$99. We’ll see if it’s twice as good as the normal Bakers or KC single barrel picks…

So I just got a call from a store I know. They have one bottle each of Old Carter Rye, batches, 7, 8 and 9, for a reasonable price, and are giving me first crack at all of them. I have a bottle of the batch 8 already.
I think the OC rye is a bit of a red-headed stepchild to the American Whiskey and the bourbon, since not everyone likes rye (I do).
What do I do?

Buy them all .... of course. Getting harder to acquire by the day.

Batch 9 is delicious in my opinion. Buy

Found a 2021 widow Jane 15yr vault release. Only 3000 bottles released and it was about $250 I think. It’s not for me, but one of you well heeled types might want me to grab it.

Old Carter rye confirmed awesome. 115 proof and no heat whatsoever. Just smooth rye goodness.
Couldn’t wait for Fryeday. I’m ok with that.

Damn I wish we could get Old Carter in OR. Maybe next year!
FWIW I am always down to buy a bottle from those of you who can get it at retail (bourbon or rye). Obviously I would pay shipping and be extremely grateful. Maybe a bunch of samples as well!!!
Finding 5 is like winning the sweepstakes in your area apparently. Finding ONE in my area is like capturing Pegasus and flying his horsey ass around town while chugging Pappy Van Winkle dressed like Zeus macking on Playboy centerfolds.

A little over a year ago my store had cases of their SB EHT on delivery day, each bottle $75 out the door. I bought my one. I was hoping they would do it again this year, but so far, nothing. Since I haven't even opened my one yet, if I see them, I'll grab what I can and hook the forum up.
This is very different. Seems like the same juice as the Cask strength, but very smoky, and much lower proof (96.6). This may open up as I only opened it yesterday, but I think the 112.2 proof cask strength rye is better (as of now anywho). Time will tell!
