Tried the Boss Hog #5 (Mauve's edition) with a buddy who got it as a birthday gift last week, and I have to say I was underwhelmed. I definitely wouldn't pay the prices now, since Master Distiller Dave Pickerell passed away last week.

I much prefer the 15-year and the simple 10-year.

On a more positive note, we killed a bottle of High West's Rendezvous Rye over the course of two nights in Sedona. Quite a lovely and smooth rye, for the price.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1d76b79708.jpg

Bought this last night - Bob Dylan’s whiskey company, first ever release of a 10 year old age statement from them. Unfortunately, I didn’t care for it much. Young wood, almost piney tasting instead of oak and definitely not worth the price.

I stumbled into this. I really like the regular production Angels Envy, so we will see about this one.

Hope you enjoy. I’m scared to try it. Angel’s Envy is a tad too sweet for my tastes.

Did a second round of hunting today and found nothing really. Trying out this WP 12 bestoke finish.

I just finished a bottle of the regular WP. I do have a bottle of the 15 year I have not opened yet.

Angels Envy has always been one of my favorites. [emoji106]

No you aren’t buddy! They were doing flights of ORVW 10, VWSR 12 and VWFR Rye for 18 dollars or any of the three for 7 each! One night special. And....there was virtually nobody there taking advantage of it!

I had a flight and another pour of the rye.

My first time having the rye it was good and more earthy than I expected. Very oaky to me anyways. You could really taste the barrel. Quite enjoyable. :thumbsup:

Nice! I didn't know you were into whisky as well:thumbsup:

The price you paid is very cheap though, they charge that for a glass of JD over here, in Euros:read::crying::chuckle:

Wowzers, what a great deal!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I thought the $16/shot I paid for 2018 Old Forester Birthday Bourbon earlier this week was a bargain. That has nothing on this! :cheers:

I would say that’s also a good deal! I haven’t had the pleasure of trying OFBB yet.

No this is in buffalo New York. I could have sat there all night and drank the whole bottle there was hardly anyone there taking advantage of it. I think because they didn’t advertise it too much. Food is excellent there as well so a great night!

Very cool my friend. I wish I was there. Great way to have a couple of drams of the good stuff.

Found it by following this thread. It’s smooth and a little sweet but not overbearing. I like it.

The 2018 is quite tasty IMO, especially if you like a caramel honey aspect a la Macallan 18 year. The highest proof that OF has ever done for their BB did catch up to me. Or maybe it was drinking a few doubles over the course of 4 hours or so......😬
