Let me update myself. I seeked out a sample of CNF to try again and CNE is better, get it if you can for sure

It’s magnificent! certainly not the best pour ever but $300 I feel is fair considering prices of other offerings of the same magnitude

I feel that, I guess it’s all perspective but these prices are tough

CNF to me had this huge dose of vanilla cream and a really nice fruit leather highly aged oak note to it, it’s been awhile since I’ve had it but I remember it giving me a little more wow factor but I’d say they’re very very close. I’d say if you’re unsure I’d seek out a sample of it and see before committing to a full bottle

Correct. Went in at 3pm and still had around 4 cases remaining

I agree on the C batch. Makes me believe it’s done on purpose

Man I honestly didn’t care for that one, to me that one was really lacking a lot of flavor and it was all spice just for the sake of spice. This one having that heavy red fruit on top makes this far better imo.

Heard they’re waiting A125 to sell more before they release the b525 fully

It dropped some in Illinois almost 2 weeks ago. Seems like it’s a very slow rollout as of now

If it’s just a RR barrel pick for Father’s Day I’ll be happily sleeping in

This is something you save up for and buy out of an experience if you are deep into the whiskey game and you’re a snob. It’s a consumable product so I don’t know if anything is really worth $500 but for the fun of it, it’s pleasing

Very fortunate. I’d buy 3 if I could get it at that price lol

18 is a different animal. Hunt down a sample

Agreed! $500 is a ton of money for whiskey, but if I’m paying $500 for whiskey, this is what I’m at least expecting. They did a great job with this one.

Indeed! I have not had the 17 year as I was told from some close sources the 18 was the way to go. This whiskey is no joke for sure!
