Anyone got 2 Hirsch 6yr for this? Preferably different barrels?

Wish I did!
Of the two, I prefer the Grizzly Beast but this is pretty good.
Nose has a deep curant / grape note, similar to the Rendezvous Rye but not as sweet. Palate is similar with the spicey rye overtone. Cinnamon here as well (took me a while to place thay one). Finish gets darker and more grainy/oaky as it sits. Definitely not an overly spicey offering, very drinkable. Very good, just not $100 good.
Now, take Rocket Top and mix with Grizzly Beast, and you get.....

For the Rocket Top and Grizzly Beast, are those simply their regular offerings, just bottled in bond instead, so less water added? Or is there more to it than that?

Lost monarch is a bourye blend of emerald giant and pipe dream
So I’d expect grizzly beast and rocket top to be pretty good together too
I don't believe so, looking at their website they have different mashbills than their standard offerings. These were supposed to be a limited release, we'll see if they do another round of them.

90 proof blend vs Lost Monarch vs BiB blend… for science.
The 90 proof blend is good, but different than the Lost Monarch. The rye notes come through a lot more. Probably needs a few weeks melding in a bottle.
The nose on the BiB blend is fantastic. Wow. Very floral. But also vanilla and raspberries. The palate starts great then trails off. Some good spice and heat. But definitely needs time to blend together.
Maybe I’ll play around with my own blends some other time.
When I mix them I go a tad heavier on the Grizzly. And yes the nose is heaven.
A celebratory pour. All of my bottles are in one room! And I’m getting organized. 
I’ve had Nashville Barrel rye and thought it was great. But I’ve never had their bourbon. However, this proof is right up my alley. I’d take the risk. Try to get a sample first though.
I have several Nashville barrell ga picks and a dc pick. They mostly receive favorable reviews but every one is different. I’m told the ga picks were sourced MGP but they source a lot of barrels so not sure about that particular pick
