    Wife told me she saw the same bottle with the curious George sticker at a local liquor store. Told her no way. May stop by and see if that’s the case and will report back to ban that person

    There is no possible way it’s true unless someone did a similar sticker or stole the design, which is very unlikely. I have all the stickers and bottles and people really only started receiving them today.

    I don’t think any of us here would give up that bottle either. It was a dream that became a reality.

    Yes, my wife doesn’t drink bourbon or rye and she liked it and said the same thing.

    Putting them straight up is absolutely unfair to the original. It's way more bourbon forward than I'd expect from a rye whiskey but it is fantastic.

    Think saz is the BT low rye mash bill, but I noticed same thing. More bourbon on front, but rye comes through on the finish

    I was too drunk to recall. LeroyJenkins22 probably has the best memory. I remember creamy vanilla, oak, and cherry with a spicy rye finish.

    That’s pretty much what I pick up. That cherry really pops as the vanilla moves to the rye finish

    Yup, fully agree with that pop of vanilla up front. Loved how it transitioned to the finish. Now I want a standard to compare to

    Yes, I just took a sip and that is what I get. Also after the rye spice is gone the cherry seems to come back. I remembered more vanilla last time, but not as much today.

    That cherry does linger after; kind of surprised me, but it’s a nice finish

    Selling something like this would make absolutely 0 sense. The entire point of it is sharing it together. Price you could get it for would probably t be a little more than what you have in it?

    I've heard good things, but the price tends to scare me off. I'm not buying many $90+ bottles these days.

    This is where I am on that bottle. I enjoy the regular bourbon and rye offerings so much at the price (and the Benash pick is one of the best bottles I’ve had in years) that I can’t justify a 50% price premium.

    Having said that, I’d really love it if you bought a bottle and gave me a sample. TIA.
