I opened a bottle of Old Granddad 114 last night and had a couple of pours from it. I was very impressed. Went down very smooth.

Has anyone heard anything about 4R Limited SmB showing up in stores yet?

nah, BR will get a few bottles. none will touch a shelf though. i think they bottled about 3000 more this year as well. Pretty sure the bottle # was 11000+ compared to last years 8000+

I keep seeing this but I think it's false. I can check when I get home but my 125th bottle has a number over 10,000

8000+ in the US. there was another 2000ish that went over seas. both of mine listed a total of 10,000+

my numbers may be off a little but several thousand bottles went to Japan, etc

I couldn't believe my eyes. Go in this store all the time on the way home but new Taliban just bought it from the old Taliban and they brought in a bunch of liquor.

My recent haul: handle of Beam, fifth of Elijah Craig, fifth of Forty Creek, fifth of Old Charter. I might just be a late bloomer for your Charter.
