    Buy one and judge for yourself. I think you won’t be disappointed. You can get batch 18 on their website.

    I think it's quite good, it's their own distillate. Radical mashbill of 80% Corn 20% Barley. I think their barrel strength stuff is the way to go.

    They won’t say what but OHLQ site does seem updated and shows everything but Stagg.

    Checking with my stepdad on getting something for him but may be able to pick one of these for trade if anyone is interested.

    Still have an ETL as well I could package with it

    My Twitter friend in the know is finding out be he said it likely isn’t great. He said it’s Knob Creek distillate and could be leathery and nutty and that Seelbachs tends to not get the best NBC picks. I bought one before he told me. He is asking the NBC guys though for tasting notes.

    Spoke to my Twitter friend who is friends with the NBC owner and he gave me some links to some bottles he said are very good. The expensive 11 year rye was chosen by the largest 4R collector in the world, and it’s supposed to be excellent. I’m a big fan of the NBCs I have tried from this guy so I do trust his judgment. He is super knowledgable about this stuff.

    “The Uproxx is a sweet cherry bomb, the Hinds and Davenport is complex and had some spice and smoke to it, the Whiskey and Wishes is balanced stone fruit char traditional. If it’s one for me probably the Uproxx.”

    Edit: oops, looks like I got the last Uproxx

    Here is another bottle I ordered a while ago because I interact with Bourbon@Tiffany's on Twitter. They finally came into stock and there are about 40 or so left. According to the same guy as the NBC pics, he says this is an amazing bottle and is a caramel bomb. David Jennings (Rarebird101) just ordered one as well, so it must be good.

    "It’s an absolute caramel bomb. Unlike anything I have had in a Pinhook bottle. Massive depth balanced sweetness with char and a touch of smoke on the very finish."
