Larceny’s best is the barrel proof. 4 roses small batch select is great for the price.

Interesting read. Have you been to this store @lousubcap?

Innocent. I'm sure the secondary mark up is painful...
I will have to verify by visiting the Louisville store.

Sazerac old fashioned - which is my favorite

With a luxardo because everything deserves a luxardo.

lousubcap · February 10

I'm all in with the Luxardo but how is the bourbon...worthy of a Luxardo??

FrostyEgg · February 10

Grabbed it at TW for $50 after asking the forum about it. I really dig it - smooth at 100 proof, it seems like a great middle ground between a daily 80 proof like ECSB and something barrel proof.

Passed on a Whistle Pig 12 year rye today for $130. Good call, or should I hop back in the truck in the morning? FWIW I really enjoy rye's. Templeton 12 is the best I've had at a ~$100 bottle and it was FANTASTIC.

lousubcap · February 10

Not a rye person but to your point Templeton always gets great reviews.

That WT is one of my favorites. Sadly it’s creeping up in price here. Used to get it all day for $50 and now $65. 🤦‍♂️

FrostyEgg · February 10

I don't think it's taken off here yet. I'll grab a few next time i'm there, i'm sure it's a matter of time. I remember buying McKenna 10 for like $30 a few years back...

TechsasJim · February 10

Dude we can rarely find McKenna here at all and when we do it is $$$. Wild

FrostyEgg · February 10

I'm factoring in covid time when I say a few years back haha. It won bourbon of the year - whenever that was I was able to find it before word got out and bought a bunch. I got one at TW about a month ago at $50 and thought that was a steal, it really is great stuff. Haven't seen it since.

All depends on area though. I haven't seen BT/ER/Blantons/EH Taylor here in well over a year now. Not even at massive markup. Just non existent.

Found this little beauty at my local store. Really stinks bc at the moment I have 2 opened Eagle Rare bottles - I know first world problems, right. Once I kill one of them I’ll crack this single barrel open. Can’t wait. Will report back when that time comes. Cheers to Friday!

lousubcap · February 11

Look at a bourbon bar (or my house and many here...), if you want to open it-have at it. It won't go bad and you can then compare the two. FWIW on a lightly bourbon infused Friday.

bbracey21 · February 11

Cap - I like your style! Will crack it open very soon!

Cold night here but enjoying a new rye pour and a nice cigar. Life is good tonight.

You are winning! Nice pour and very nice stick. 🥃

Enjoyed a nice highland park double with dinner at a quaint place in a very small adjacent town. We will be back. 🥃

I don’t typically buy ryes (I don’t need another thing to hunt) but have heard good things about that one. What’s your thoughts on it.

UFS is Peoria used to regularly get Templeton Rye in. That was always worth the price.
