Damn dude, that Kentucky Owl Rye 4th (and final) is soooo good. It has it all. Nose, palate, finish and mouth feel. It is $300 here. Did I pay that to try it? Yes. Will I pay that again to have one back up............sure. I can't wait to try my sample of KO2. This stuff is over priced regardless of the # but it IS SO DAMN GOOD!

I can get #3 for $240 plus tax...which is essentially $300. I don’t think I’ll do that.

Wish this was available enough to be my daily

This one is growing on me. I don't like the burn but 3 small cubes and the carmel nuttiness really pushes forward. Most unique bourbon I've had (not saying mu

I'm going to do a Batch 2 vs 3 vs 4 this afternoon. I really hope the 4 doesn't crush because I don't feel like dropping $300 on one bottle.

Not sure why that NULU post got quoted, but...it should be interesting because it's not bourbon. Toasted Barrel rye sounds good to me, though.

Thought I would jump in with some old school Weller 12 yr.
Back when they were on the bottom shelf for about $15 a bottle.
Wish I had bought a truckload.

 

[gopherblue]

Morning off to a good start. $5 above retail.

Maybe I’ll join in with you guys on this Fryeday with my first rye old fashioned

How did you like it?
For me, the rye old fashioned is my favorite.
I like the extra spice from the rye.
Go to is Rittenhouse, very good and great price.
Cheers!

Hits keep coming. $55.

Thanks to @chutracheese I can enjoy a bottle

NH state liquor store. Irish whiskey on sale this week. Has anyone had the New Riff? That was an impulse buy.

Glendronach collection. Got the three different versions, all at 24 years.

I have a New Riff Single Barrel Barrel Proof. My bottle is great for a 4yr.

That’s the Grandeur batch 9, right Scott? I had a bottle of batch 10 and it was exceptional!

Now try and find an official single cask that’s 24 yo as well. ;-)

Correct. Batch 9.
Do I want to know what the single cask goes for?

That good price. Hate to ask about the 24 hahhahha

The US versions of 92/93/94 are as expensive as the Grandeurs. Secondary for the 700ml are about $450/$500 for a great cask. Some, more than that.

I’d go for an Oloroso cask instead of a PX cask myself. Most of the 93s are amazing, the 92/94 are not bad either. 90 are phenomenal but older and more expensive.

I believe Mass had a really good cask a couple of years ago. Can’t remember the distillation year. If my mind serves me right, I think it was about $700. Maybe they are still around you. Maybe even for less than that.

Redbreast Cask @ $83 a buy?

 

[Klobberer]

Redbreast Cask @ $83 a buy?

I paid $81.99 less a $5 coupon...it is very good.

 

[Klobberer]

I'm going to do a Batch 2 vs 3 vs 4 this afternoon. I really hope the 4 doesn't crush because I don't feel like dropping $300 on one bottle.

KO 2, 3 & 4

 

[Klobberer]

And the winner is...

Spoiler: Nunya

Batch 3, with 4 a close second.

 

[Klobberer]

2 was great as well. 2 was fruity and spicy, 4 was warm and fuzzy, but 3 was warm, fuzzy and had just enough barrel char to put it over the top.

 

[Klobberer]

If 4 was 2 bills like the rest, I'd buy it. Not for 3. Maybe it'll go on sale...

Had a line on a bottle of Blue Spot but it fell through. Drinking some Red instead.

Blue is the best of the spots, IMHO...The Redbreast 12 Cask Strength is amazing as well.

I just left a store that had the blue spot, $250 - not sure if that’s reasonable

 

[FDLmold]

Costco today had regular Redbreast 12 for $49. Also had their store brand 23 year Speyside for like $89 I think. Still had lots of Bardstown Fusion 3 for $50. I would bite on one of those at $40 maybe.
