Seems like this is below secondary for sure, but like others have said it's sourced, and so it might be something you really like or it might not be. Orphan is all around just a little different, so do with that what you will.

lol. Went back and he had this out. $51.98

You are lucky, I stop by there all the time and never had anything out like this.

It's a blend of 18 year MGP and most likely an 18 plus year IW Harper (HH) or Four Roses. Diageo has older 4R stocks that they'll occasionally kick out for special Bulliet charity store picks. Less likely it's Beam or Barton. No TN in this batch. What store is it at?

They sold it. I went back in and he had sold it, but got the EHT. It was at Costco in Katy.

I'm looking for one Bookers box if you have an extra after Alaskan gets what he needs. Im in West Houston

Excited to try that Indigo-- but I like oak and aged bourbon.

I have a bookers box available for pick up.

I'm in Round Rock. Come and take it.

Oooof. I like it at $39.99

I did not see it last time make it. It was sold out online in short time on the first release.

Any recommendations for a reasonably priced solid rye that's available anywhere?

Same for wheated.

Want to try those and compare it to a normal bourbon.

High West Double Rye is phenomenal for the price. It really hits the spicy rye profile

Rye is a lot more recipe dependent compared to bourbon, imo. You can find lots of 95/5 mgp ryes on the shelf under various labels, there are 51% ryes that drink closer to a high rye bourbon, and stuff in between. Proof also starts to play a big factor once you're stacking heat on top of spice, depending on your palate.

Sazerac is the classic rye and is fantastic for mixing. Not sure I'd choose it for a neat pour. Smoke wagon is mgp juice at various mash bills, you can find info on those online pretty easily. For a budget pickup, maybe a knob creek or wild turkey. Michter's rye is a bit more around $45 but is great at the price imo

Maker's is the answer to a wheater if you want to explore a bit. They have several plays on it for proof or finishing.

Sazerac and Rittenhouse rye should be basically anywhere you buy liquor for under $30. Solid offerings. If you see Pikesville Rye, for $45 it is absolutely outstanding. Rossville Union Barrel Strength Rye is awesome if you want something higher proof and should be about $55-$60.

Wheaters, Makers Mark Cask Strength is great for under $40. Bernheim is a wheater, but their barrel proof is better than the standard offering. Can be hard to find the barrel proof. Benchmark Bonded is cheap and I BELIEVE wheated and very solid.

Large store I went to yesterday didn't have a SINGLE Buffalo trace product. Not even benchmark.

Budget Rye's - Rittenhouse or Old Forester. 60 dollar splurge - Jack SBBP Rye (130+ proof)

Wheated - Maker's (or Maker's 46 if you like vanilla),

Edit - I'd also add if you are looking to try various stuff, 50ml bottles are a great way to do it.

Taste is so subjective, as is "reasonably priced".

Rare Breed Rye is my favorite- usually in stock and 45-50.

Wheated can be tough-but love the soft read wheat from Ben Holliday- bottled in bond is quite good.

A variation of Makers and Old Forester Rye is what I'm thinking right now.

Soft red wheat is what I was originally going to buy but I haven't found it in store yet.

Totally agree on grabbing Pikesville. It's a little harder to come across but great stuff.

3rd rec on Pikesville.

Redwood Empire Emerald Giant

Yeah, so I've got 2 that still have the plastic cover and little plastic bottle bottle catch, and a few others that I tossed the plastic bits and one little book box

I'm putting together a basket for a fundraiser benefiting local family is serious need. I'm assuming W12 catches eyes better than EHTSiB. Correct?

I think Weller 12 catches more eyes and appeals to the non bourbon enthusiasts.

IMO.

Cool. Ive got a bottle of Blanton's to go with it. Embrace the tater!

A black Weller bottle with a horse topper.

That will drum up some money!

Any of y'all watch Bourbon Night on YouTube?

Really enjoying it.

Amburana not my thing either. Just doesn't jive with my palate

Where you located? I really enjoy it. Maybe we could work something out.
