We’re in the home stretch on the relabel project!!
I’m gonna need a sample of that Old Kirk, for science.
So just had this and... Ho-ly shit
Ingredients
2 oz. Old Grand Dad 114
1 oz. Jim Beam Rye
.25 oz. Piloncillo*
3 dashes of Trinity Bitters (equal parts of Bittercube's Bolivar, Orange, and Cherry Bark Vanilla)
Garnish: Cherry Skewer and Orange Peel
Did you acquire the ingredients to make this? My Trinity bitters arrived today and I bought some good piloncillo at the mercado. Looking forward to trying them! I can't/won't buy Jim Beam Rye, so I will try it with several other ryes: OF rye, Pikesville, Alberta etc. Also, thinking of flipping the rye:bourbon ratio. So 2oz rye, 1 oz bourbon. This will be FUN!

It was so much better straight from the barrel than it was in the tasting room! I am hopeful for great things!I’m enjoying this one. Thank you for the sample @Billy Baroo. And thanks to you, @wolfpack and all the rest for doing the tasting. You all picked a good one, especially for a 4yo.

That Russells was particularly great! I thoroughly enjoyed helping you put a beat down on that bottleNew Riff Barrelers, this one's for you poker players! Sorry Todd. We hit this bottle hard!
Heavy pour to kill the Batch 17. I only have one more of these. Wishing that I had found more.

Why?I only have one, and it will be the last Stagg JR I ever drink
They changed the name of it.Why?
I believe we got a taste of the Malted Rye during the BBNAGB tasting.
Have you tried your 6yr malted rye sample yet?
We did! We were also told that it was only available for sale at their distillery gift shop and wouldn’t be distributed to outside retailers.I believe got a taste of the Malted Rye during the BBNAGB tasting.
Malted rye is already out of stock
Damn that was fastMalted rye is already out of stock
I'm going to be in the Cincinnati area for a few days next month, and I might make the drive down to New Riff and look for this (or other interesting distillery-only bottles). It's only about an hour south of where I'll be staying.Have you tried your 6yr malted rye sample yet?

The distillery (24 Distillery Way, Newport, KY 41073) is the best bet for acquiring the Malted Rye.I'm going to be in the Cincinnati area for a few days next month, and I might make the drive down to New Riff and look for this (or other interesting distillery-only bottles).
