Seen people on Reddit raving about that one. HH should go back to those bottles. They look so much better. Picked up a Disco 12 and a single barrel of Holladay Soft Red Wheat. Excited to try both.
This was in Oklahoma actually. I can't believe we got it so quickly. We are usually dead last to get stuff.
What D12 is? It's pretty similar to last year but with 14 year old Turkey juice this time. Also, speaking of Turkey juice. The Seelbachs 15 year is about to drop and it's from Lawrenceburg with the same mashbill that Turkey uses. So, I find that interesting.
Disco 12 is really nice. Definitely drinks like it has a little more age on it than 11. This Holladay Single Barrel is good too. Can't wait to see what some of their older stuff is like.
Looks like the B524 is showing up at Costco around here for $70. They had a "AZ distiller pick" a few months back for around $75 which I assumed are just barrels that didn't get selected.
Every batch that's sub 12 years seems to sit around since they dropped the age statement. Maybe they should go to just two batches a year and shoot for higher quality.
Yeah honestly if I had saw this earlier in the week I probably would have. But I just spent a bunch yesterday right before I saw it. I still almost said I wanted it but figured I should at least try and be a little responsible.
Circling back here. I think it's going to be a VEN. I can't seem to find anything on that barrel code. Any info?
I like it. A pretty good bit. Drinks nice for a high proof rye. Not super hot or anything. Well balanced.
I have 12 different versions and I love them. I am pretty sure I have this one but haven’t opened it yet.
not really. I have really low hope for them . I think they are like one billionth of the store owner as Maisano. They were basically talking shit about Maisano . They were pissed he wanted his name off the store. They basically talked shit about him to me (which is really dumb considering I have a high opinion of him and also they bought a store for his loyal customer base I'm assuming)telling me he fucked up his relationship with some of the distileries and that's why he couldn't get barrels from places like Russel Reserve in the end. They haven't gotten nearly the number of store picks. They sent an email recently saying they had some loyalty reward allocated stuff for people on the email chain. They had WSR, OWA, BT, and ER. I clicked the link cause I was going to maybe get some OWA. Everything was sold out but WSR and BT and they weren't asking for much under secondary for it. The owner's wife runs the social media and she doesn't know what she's talking about, and frankly, she seems like a tacky turd to me. It's brutal. I want to still give them a chance though.
