There Are A Million Bottles Of This Everywhere Right now...Is This That good? It's been a couple years for me and I guess I just don't recall it being that great.



Its potent but good. Gotta watch yourself when enjoying it.

I really like it.

First taste. I must say I was expecting to be let down but I'd buy it again haha. CBandit thanks for tempering my expectations by saying its a notch or so below Blantons. good stuff



.

Its tasty stuff for sure, will buy if I see it again.

On the flip side, I kind of like Eagle Rare a little better than ETL at the price point.

Maybe the hype got to me a little bit and I was expecting something ridiculous.

Its good stuff though.

Yeah, like most things in life, if it's built up to much it bound to not meet your expectations

QBIN has some in the back room along with a shite ton of Blanton's Gold.

I have a Blanton's Gold. It's good but not 2-3X as good as regular Blanton's.

From what I have read, the straight from the barrell is really the only "special" Blantons worth the price.

But frick Q-Bin, I will not ask to be "cool" and see if I can get it.

No we didnt. Im not sure why either. I called our Republic rep and chewed him out yesterday.

We always order everything rare as far as bourbon goes, every week, whether its in stock at the distributor or not. They told me it was a mistake and they are working on it. Whatever that means.

Most of the sales reps are so worried about selling Malibu pink lemonade and shite like that, that they forget about stuff like that.

ETA: We do have 3 bottles of Angels Envy Rye on the shelf right now. We got a case yesterday

I am a Calandro. Hence the end of my TD handle (cdro).

I work at the one on Perkins.

The Rye is 89.99
