I really like the Kosher Rye Recipe. But I will always prefer high rye over a wheater. 

 

 

That’s basically just Kosher Buffalo Trace, right?  I have the wheat recipe that I need to open and try next to W12 and Antique.

It's similar. I semi-blinded Kosher Rye Recipe and Elmer T. Lee and definitely noticed more rye in the Kosher.

That’s a wild collection.  Super into Maker’s picks?

No, he bought em all. He spends a decent amount of coin on booze

the others i can see, but those makers arent even collectors bottles.  i'd be putting a dent in those if i were him.

Yes. But i think its tough to make any dent when you have over 400 bottles
Hate people like this, hes the reason why the majority can't get their hands on what was easily available not too long ago

Holy fuck.
New liquor store just opened near me.
The wife went today to get some vodka.
She casually tells me she saw some Weller there.
I asked her what color.
She said blue, red, black.
Me 10 minutes later.

You walk in to meet her and she’s holding onto her $16.99 bottle of Tito’s. “DAMNIT, WOMAN! Save the good stuff.. not the vodka! Oh, and thank you sweetie.”

 I have a lot of my husband's faves in my phone and just restock for him although sometimes he goes on the weekend if he wants to browse. I made a trip today and picked up his usuals plus a few new ones:

A bottle each of Jefferson, Larceny, Maker's Mark (when I buy it I just get the regular one, sometimes he grabs one of the others), 1792, Bernheim, and Bib & Tucker.

Three new ones to try that I don't think he's had before, I hope he likes them: Smooth Ambler Contradiction, a bottle of something called Smoke Wagon, and a bottle of MB Roland.

He has had the Weller and likes it fine but they were out, he did not like the brand with the armadillo on the bottle and wasn't a fan of Redemption but I think that's because I bought a regular one and not one with the wheat for the secondary grain, and I think he liked a Buffalo(?) one they no longer had but the shelves looked a little picked over like the truck hadn't come in for the day. Although, if everyone was stocking up like I was, it explains the empty spaces. I've never seen the Fitzgerald one but if anyone has any others he should try let me know cause I like to surprise him.

What's the intel on Kentucky Owl ?  There are a couple bottles at MSRP $129 (I think), on the shelf here at the beach.

Which one bud? That’s either a low price for the rye or MSRP for Confiscated. 
 

Both sit on the shelf in Houston.

Never had Kentucky Owl, but the few liquor stores I frequent it is always behind the glass and always available.  That says something to me, and has dissuaded me from trying it.

I’ll get set on fire, but I like it. It’s not worth the money, but it’s good.

Ha it definitely speaks joy for him. It also sparks joy for me. Speaking of, when is the next Private Select coming around?

Does this one make the cut?

Batch 1 is good. Have one open. Stoli bought them in early 2017, but this was 100% Dedman fingerprints. Last of the decent batches IMO. Still nor sure I’d say worth the MSRP. But it’s closer.

I have batch 2 and I paid $120 for it.  I think it was a mistake on the shelf but I certainly like it for $120.

 

I haven't had any of the later releases more than once in a restaurant/bar setting.

100% same. I enjoyed batch 1, bought a bottle of batch 2 and really liked it, even at that price point (granted, I'm a sucker for slightly sweeter ryes, so it was right up my alley). Have heard bad things about B3 and beyond from folks that recommended B1 and 2 to me ...

Batch 3 KO Rye is fine, but I’m not running out to buy it at $209.  Maybe if I find it on sale at a twin for $150 or something. I have a Batch 1 open along with a spare so no real need for more.  The batch 9 bourbon is also killer and would probably go for Stagg Jr secondary money of their retail pricing was similar.
