It’s just the small batch
Talking about unicorn!!! LOL!!!
The Four Grain is delicious btw. Haven’t had the Tornado.
Btw Scott, I’m bringing a sample of the MWND to you.

Awesome!
I need the Big 3 to complete my EHT collection, but I think Sour Mash could be a pipe dream. Depending on Tax return, I may try to grab Tornado and Cured Oak.
I'll keep my eyes open for those. If they show up, I'll let you know.
I picked up my first bottle of 1792 last week, and I like it. It's got a spicy bite and nice complexity from the rye, but isn't overly harsh.
As I explore more American whiskeys, I'm finding that my preferences lean pretty hard toward rye whiskey and high rye bourbons.

Not a fan of putting ice in my beverage, but a friend brought us 6 ice spheres. I gotta use them, right?
You risk being hanged for this in TN

One of my buddies pulled out his ice sphere maker from the Whiskey Ice Company at our last game. I couldn't believe the price of that thing! The only good point was that he ordered one and they sent him two.
I've recently gotten into drinking Manhattans - 1 measure Bulleit Rye, 1/2 measure sweet vermouth, a dash of bitters and lemon twist. I don't bother with the cherry.

This could get you into trouble, son, especially if you travel to your northwest, around Doyle's hometown

About to open and try my first bottle of Elijah Craig 130+ proof. I think mine is 135.2. Holy crap that is high proof. You aren't that far from 151 at that point.

After a couple of year's of sampling and reviewing, my standard Bourbons for the house are Eagle Rare, and Wild Turkey Rare Breed. Best value of what I have tried to date.
I've always thought Wild Turkey was a bottom shelf brand, and I'm not sure why. To be honest, I don't ever recall drinking it.
I've read a number of good reviews for Wild Turkey 101, so this week I picked up a bottle. My first impression is that it's a solid high rye and a great value. I'm glad to have been proven wrong.
Good choices imo, man. Knob Creek Single Barrel is up there for me as well, for around the same price as the Rare Breed. How available is the Old Forester line in Canada? Hard to beat the 1920 for the price (although it's a bit more than Rare Breed) and their Rye (best value Rye, imo) for $20.

Rare Breed is the cask strength version of Wild Turkey. My bottles are the 116.8 proof version, or 58.4% abv. It is the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove.
KC!20 and the single barrel never did it for me. I find their Rye is excellent however. Knob Creek seems to be like Larceny in that you either like it or you don't . . . very little middle ground. I've had the Old Forester 1920, but still prefer both "Rares". It's kind of hit and miss in terms of availability in Ontario, but similarly priced to Rare Breed up here (iirc).

Also, with you being just across the river, you should make the drive to Windsor and pick up some the Northern Border Collection bottlings at Wiser's in Windsor. With the exchange rate, you would be pretty much ROBBING them of some excellent whiskies.

Finally bought a bottle of the single barrel rye lol. It is flavorful and tasty!

A bit overpriced at $43 for what you get, but not bad overall.
Made in Michigan! I’ve never had it but I did jog by the distillery a couple years ago while we were in Thompsonville for a wedding.
