I quite enjoyed mine. I guess I should be glad I saw it when I did. They had it on my local AFB one day...and then no more.

Same here. Michigan is wonky on their releases of new products. Checked a couple stores and seemed I missed the MM 2023 BEP release.

Grabbed a couple different single barrel picks at a Chicagoland store. The Bung Bangers release is 10 years 11 months, the oldest I've seen since Beam discontinued the 14-15 year single barrels some time back.

Bob, I think a couple places by me have the Larceny BP, you definitely recommend it?

I had two pours from it last night. If you enjoyed the B523, I think you’ll like the C923.

2 or 3 bottles if possible but you never know what they allow now

icehog3 · 10-04-2023, 08:06 AM

Had a couple King Ranch come up on FB yesterday but they were $130 and above. Have yet to see it in a store here, John.

Thank you for the recommendation, Bob.

Opened the Four Roses sib pick last night. Even at 115 proof, it's too light for me and I'm not a big fan of the finish. I'll sell or trade the other one.

physiognomy · 10-04-2023, 08:11 AM

Msrp climbed a bit on King Ranch! I’m not going to chase it, but seems to have hit TX in the last couple day or so.

Edit - LOL at tiny picture. 86.59 clams

stearns · 10-04-2023, 09:13 AM

Pretty sure it's TX only, but last release it sat for a couple weeks in some stores so I had friends picking it up every day. Based on the reviews I read of the first release, I'm ok passing but would definitely give it a try if I was near an open bottle

Beagleone · 10-04-2023, 12:46 PM

I have/had a bottle from the original release and liked it. I knew I should have picked up a case back then.

John, I will text you later when I hit up TW.

kingcobradude · 10-08-2023, 05:07 PM

Recently picked up a bottle of new riff, and a bottle of blantons

Post your thoughts on the New Riff, if you don’t mind.

Had a few small pours today. WT Rare Breed, Russell’s SB Reserve, Woodenville Moscatel finished. Can’t remember the others. Lol.

icehog3 · 10-09-2023, 08:38 AM

Went into several liquor stores this weekend and didn't buy a thing.

Of course, I have something coming UPS today.

Anyone see the Old Forester 1924 10 year old yet?

Hasn't been released in Chicago yet.

icehog3 · 10-09-2023, 04:41 PM

Grabbed the 3rd of the Hardin's Creek 17 Year trilogy today, Boston.

Porch Dweller · 10-10-2023, 07:00 AM

I picked up a bottle of Widow Jane 10-year. It's quite good.
