These little bottles (when I can find them) have me reconsidering visiting the local distillery

I’ve seen the mini single barrel ryes before, but never the mini barrel proofs…especially a selected pick like the ones I got for @Pinkdan and myself. I need to see if there’s any more floating around my way so that I have a decent supply.

I used to drink old No.7 in my college days as well and I cringed when the SBBP’s were recommended to me. I’m so glad I took a chance on the SBBP because it’s easily one of my favorite pours.

I've been mostly off PCF for a couple weeks, just getting back into the swing of things.

I was in Columbus for a trade show, and visited a few hospitality suites. This was the best of the bunch:

ECBP available from the hotel bar was a pleasant surprise (though a Glencairn would have been nice ):

 

[Schmendr1ck]

I picked up a local bottle on a whim, will report back when I have a chance to taste it.

Finally, my BBNAGB bottles arrived while I was gone. Thanks a million to everyone who made this happen!

Enjoy!! I’ve already killed my first one, although I had help since I shared it with my cash game group.

I got 2 a month ago, and then these 3 remained on the shelf collecting dust until today.

Sorry I'm not sorry

The amazing thing to me is she told us at our BBNAGB tasting that these were not released and only available in the gift shop.

Edit: as I think about it, I wonder if she meant a SB version

 

[FDLmold]

Or, that was the sales pitch given to her , and she didn’t know any better because she wasn’t told any better. Management would NEVER do that to an employee, right?

She definitely said the 6yr malted rye was a distillery only offering when she gave us a sample of it after our barrel selection.

It worked…I bought a bottle and wish I had grabbed two

Went to a wedding this past weekend at a coworkers house. This was a pleasant surprise! More weddings should have these!! After dinner went here and stayed for the duration. Such a good time.

I got one at the distillery an have never seen it in a store around here.

They started to appear in online retailers inventory and select stores in a few states not too long after we had the BBNAGB pick. New Riff doesn’t sell to NC yet, so how or why they did the public release is inconsequential to me.

Could be just a coincidence that they were planning to do a large release of it outside the distillery or we were told it’s exclusive to get us to buy some. I could care less what it is…it’s a really good bottle and I got mine the only way possible to me at the time!

The day after the BBNAGB I stopped by Hard Rock for some cards. One dealer started up a convo about Barrel Tastings (needless to say, he got extra friendly tips from this guy). During the discussion he asked if I had a chance to try the New Riff Malted Rye, told him yes, and that at least one guy just picked up a bottle from the store.

He was surprised, as he said they only sell it from the distillery. So either they were discussing SB Malted Rye, or it's just very, very new as a store offering.

In the end, I showed him the photo you put out on the group chat. He looked at his watch and mentioned needing a break to run to the store before it sold out.

Thanks @Pinkdan for this. Gonna have to find another private barrel soon

This is sourced right, I think all the blackened is.

Yes. It’s “undisclosed.” It tasted familiar though, with the tasty mint and rye spice.

I've really been liking most anything from Bacones lately. Favorite of theirs is Brimstone. Here is the collection as of today.

I recall seeing something about this on YouTube, they play Metallica in the Rick house where the barrels are aging.

 

[FDLmold]

I had a buddy who shared some Balcones Baby Blue with me once. It was pretty good.
