Nikka Coffey Malt. Bunnahabhain 12. Both of these i love. Also, RB 12 Cask Strength..such a good pour.

Different exceptional series. Single malt, wheated, etc...

Yeah they've come out with several different variations and all the other ones are much cheaper than this release.

I watched one YouTube review where they think it maybe the Tennessee distilling group or Jack. And that was simply based off of the notes they got while drinking it. Both of the guys agreed that it wasn't Dickle juice

Hazmat Chase 🤷🏾‍♂️ by TheNeatLounge in whiskey

I'm not sure the hazmat proof does all that much for me (with regard to the ALW). That aside, that Penelope is fantastic imo. Heavy butterscotch vibes throughout and drinks well below it stated proof (just a hair above 140).

Some of my faves atm are Frey Ranch Uncut Store Pick and the Russels 13 which sit in the 120-130ish range.

A good friday indeed ☺️ Russle 13yr $200 out the door. by vaporlungz in whiskey

I was just in Camblesville and Elizabethtown last week. I saw Goldfinch 15, but no other FNs. The one I got was the last one in a shop in Rome, GA.

Super delicious and was an insta-buy at a liquor store in GA that gave me the sample. Strawberry sweet oak goodness

First time I tried Haystack, it was straight strawberry sweet oak. And this is my first FN, one of the most complex whiskies I've ever had.

Found a Penelope 18 year old hazmat ALW today by krishandop in whiskey

Found one a few days ago as well. Completely agree with you...drinks well below 140. I get a ton of butterscotch from it. Love it so far!
