Yep. It used to be my absolute favorite. Now it is a we bit expensive. But it is really good. If you get the opportunity, don’t turn it down.Love to try it one day but well into 4 digits now. The Classic Cut doesn’t compare in the slightest.
The sad part is this is the same stuff that was sold under the Jefferson's label at an age stated 10 years old and was $30 a bottle...Could not resist cracking this seal open. Sells out quick every week at the LLS , my sponsor.
My buddy will be with the distributor tomorrow and try and get some 10, 12 and l5.
My hood buys the 6. lol
Smooth, spicy only 94 proof but drinks more like a barrel proof to me. Maybe it's the rye.

I'd like to hear the story on that.The sad part is this is the same stuff that was sold under the Jefferson's label at an age stated 10 years old and was $30 a bottle...
Operative word there is "was". Before things went insane it wasn't that uncommon of a sight at that price.I'd like to hear the story on that.
^^^This is a nice synopsis folks should understand.Operative word there is "was". Before things went insane it wasn't that uncommon of a sight at that price.
Jefferson's is a label run by a NDP that sources stuff from all over. This one is a Canadian made 100% Rye which is a bit of an oddity, no barley or other grain. Is a flavoring whiskey that would be used as part of a typical Canadian blend.
The bulk of the other Rye sold here is made in Indiana by LDI/MGP which was a former Seagram's owned plant. If you see 95% rye, 5% malted barely listed that's where it came from despite whatever B.S. is on the rest of the label. If look closely will be fine print somewhere on the bottle that says distilled in Indiana. It's not that this Rye is bad, it's just the label's claimed story is marketing B.S.
Aside from the micro-distillers; Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, Heaven Hill, Sazerac/Buffalo Trace, Barton, Jack Daniels are the only ones off top of my head that make their own Rye whiskey. Barton, Beam and Heaven Hill made product has multiple brand names.
ETA:
I should add Willett to this. They were an NDP who chose a lot of LDI/MGP very well, but have been making their own Rye for several years now, the label will tell you what it is. I'd not classify them as a micro, but they are nowhere near the capacity of the others.
Nice! Was about to ask how it is but I see now. Look forward to it.Neck Pour Elijah Craig Barrel Proof A122

Nice! Proper set up.Sweet! I don’t drink coffee or espresso but my wife does.. had this setup for like 12 years and it’s been great…. Been looking at a super automatik’
Didn’t know that… was looking at a Jura x8 or something like that… she likes that roast and brand. ALOT! says nothing is close… it really smells good. I would imagine it would be for some and not for othersNice! Proper set up.
Can’t use dark, oily beans in super auto so that’s gotta be ok with her.
Here’s a good idea if they’d work with a SA. The oily ones in the bottom right will clog it up if used a lot. Not that you can’t ever use them but who knows how often. They just say don’t at all.Didn’t know that… was looking at a Jura x8 or something like that… she likes that roast and brand. ALOT! says nothing is close… it really smells good.

Need a little couch for the glass for this picture to be complete.

Not proud, just poor. The other choice is sober. No fun.
Is there an age statement on that? I want to like Balcones stuff, but all I have tried has been overpriced and under aged IMO.Cinnamon bomb if you’re into that. Otherwise pretty damn good.

No age statement. I haven’t had a lot of their offerings. The Baby Blue is definitely corn forward. This is not. The only other I have is cask strength rye.Is there an age statement on that? I want to like Balcones stuff, but all I have tried has been overpriced and under aged IMO.
I like the SiB. I really like EHT BP. That bottle sells for $400+ on the secondary market unfortunately.Had a Pour EH Taylor Single Barrel this evening. It was OK. Light with a little sweetness, it had a slight dark fruit/fig thing going on, but VERY minimal. I’d pass on it because I like Barrel Proof stuff and this was to delicate at the moment.

Very good. Complex, nice spice and balance with sweetness like brown sugar.Been looking to try a bottle of that!
How is it?
I agree. Overpriced but pretty delicious. Several of their other finishes are tasty as well and $55-80Had a dram of this today, it was okay, not worth the $200 it costs. I think this might pair well with a good strong cigar.
Not much to say. I’m not great at description. Long vanilla bean that just comes through at the end though. They’re both delicious.Let’s hear about that O’Fitz
