This was a gift from the manager of my local. Opened now for three weeks and it has greatly improved…and it was pretty good to start with. You gotta like the Beam peanut funk, but this one gets a nice balance with sweet berries. Kinda a PBJ made with strawberry jam. No way this one is only 2 yrs old…others might be able to tell, but I can’t. It’s not $80 retail good but it’s sneaky good! I’ll revisit this in about 2-3 weeks later to see if it gets even better.

One of the better 4R SiB’s I’ve had in quite some time! Top floor barrels make a huge difference.View attachment 1014109

Mine is a 3rd floor and considerably lighter in color. Sugar bomb now but not deep in flavor.

OK, I have to ask. I'm assuming the codes on the bottle tell you what's what. But how do I read them?

the last nuber before the letter is what tier the barrel was on. His was a 6 so the highest tier (6 stories up basically)

Only number I look for is the tier number and 6 is the highest floor

Gonna be sad when this one is gone…but I’m gonna enjoy the hell out of this pour!

Probably my favorite pour.

Uber smooth. Bought this at Total Wine last year for $58. Went to replace it at the Total Wine they just opened in my suburb and it was $130. Good good scotch. Not for $130.

Edit: Man Down!

Definitely mine!

I deeply regret not buying one or two like you did when we were in Kentucky. That bottle was amazing and I am eternally grateful for you sharing a good portion of it with me!

Yeah.. I had the advantage of having one previous.

Having a pour to celebrate finishing the artwork on a set I ordered this week as a gift for a coworker who changed my life by founding an incredible company in 1991 and hiring me to work there 20 years ago. Changed my life in ways that I never predicted and I’m so grateful. Can’t wait to give these to him when he retires.

Spoiler: Putting it here so only the bourbon people get a sneak peak

I had a very similar experience just a couple weeks ago. I did a triple-take at the price and wondered if I was seeing it wrong!

I like it a lot, but agree it's not a $130 Scotch.

I MUST HAVE THESE!!!!!! I've never heard of a Redwood Empire Cask Strength bottle!

I wouldn't be excited for the first bottle that they tried. Maple syrup isn't my thing. I'm kind of excited about their description of the middle bottle!

The rye bottle intrigues the shit out of me!!!

Special delivery Fryday!!

Many thanks @Saoliver!!! Greatly appreciated. Can’t wait to dive into those samples!

My pleasure. I'm guessing that OF rye goes down first tonight... then maybe the Barrell Seagrass 16yr... then probably that Old Pepper too. LOL

I’m traveling tonight for our Friday cash game, so I’ll be starting on the samples tomorrow night in the comfort of my recliner and some college football! I want to really take my time with these and savor every sip. They’d be wasted if I cracked them out while I played cards…and I’d be wasted too

And those chip samples are pretty sweet too!

Two packages expected this weekend, and the first arrived today:

Not surprising. This dude is full of awesomeness!!

I'm like a little kid in a candy store when he sends me samples. I wait until THUR (I'm off on Fridays). Then I drink them all lol

Happy Fryeday ! Ok, I know,I know, but OGD is so good in Old Fashioned’s! Go Phillies!!

This bourbon thread is better than all the bourbon groups I’m in. I don’t even do any trading on them anymore. I do it all on here

If I saved all of those samples for one night I’d get alcohol poisoning

It's a lot of 125 - 130 proof deliciousness. I'm use to it, but it can kick your ass if you're not careful. Hahahahaha

This used to be on the shelves all the time in Southern Michigan for $30 - $35 a bottle. I probably haven't seen it in close to a year

For the record, I didn't say it doesn't kick my ass. I simply lack discipline when I get one of these awesome packages

 

[detroitdad]

I'm going to check a couple stores when I go to Ohio in a couple weeks
