How’s the Caribbean cask? I bought a bottle but have yet to crack it open


Quickly go open it up and pour a glass!! Lol. I love it but I’m also a Balvenie fan in general. Silky on the palate and I find some vanilla sweetness comes through along with something fruity. I’m not advanced enough to name the fruit exactly but def has something there. Just all around damn good and can’t beat it for $50.

That rare breed rye is solid. One of my favorite recent purchases


Anyone have a suggestion of a place to check for this Rare Breed Rye? I’m a huge WT fan and I love ryes. I’ve been looking but no dice. Was curious is there was any place that is worth checking more than others? I’m guessing it’s more about being in right place at right time. I’ve worked a good relationship with a local supermarket owner. Hoping it pays off.

It's fantastic. My scotch experiences are fairly limited, but it's easily the best I've had

Not a huge fan of rum. Does it have a rum taste to it, or is it overly sweet? Really like Balvenie, always have a bottle of the doublewood on hand


eta, anyone have the 17 doublewood? big difference from the 12?

I don’t pick up on the run much but I’m not a rum drinker so maybe I’m just not familiar with the flavor profile. I don’t find it overly sweet at all but really balanced. The thing that got me is the $50 price tag. Like I said most places still have this bottle on the shelf $75-$85. At $50 it’s a steal.

TA do you have a guess or any info on when that round may be?

I’m a big Rye and Wild Turkey fan so I’m curious to try it. I’m also a big Balcones fan. Really enjoy a lot of their releases. Liked their bourbon but no so much their rye.

Y’all talking about the regular wt rye or the rare breed or something?

If so, we really need to get a swap going on the thread. They are most places around me
