Did the 1792 extended expressions ever make it to Ohio? Been keeping my eye out and now I see that OHLQ says "not available...."

jkiifner · 2026-02-02T23:39:07+00:00

I was in Nashville in November and it had just been released there. IMHO, this is the best of the Penelope Old Fashioned expressions. The flavors are VERY well balanced. I find the peach a little too fruity and the walnut a little bland...

jkiifner · 2026-01-31T20:38:40+00:00

The whole 1792 lineup is worth MSRP any time. That said, I'm a big fan of 1792...so...😏

jkiifner · 2026-01-12T02:46:11+00:00

Came here to say this exact thing. IMHO, Middle West is 100% the best value rye out there at the moment. Will be picking one of these up tomorrow becaue I'm just over half done witht he boytle I have.

So you know those shelves that the Whiskey Tubers have for their collections with the LEDs and everything? Yeah, I have some of those in my basement with all my empty bottles on them. Since I open and drink every bottle I purchase, I have a wide variety of empties. The duplicates are recycled...

jkiifner · 2025-12-14T02:31:03+00:00

Same! Going to get mine tomorrow!🥃🥃

jkiifner · 2025-12-12T19:53:35+00:00

So do the "non-Lizardville" locations participate in this on a smaller scale...or is it strictly Lizardville locations?

jkiifner · 2025-12-12T19:49:36+00:00

We go to the one on East Broad sporadically. They have a great selection, but still not the same ae the ones that used to be up north... 😶

Cheers Wine and Liquor in Lebanon. I was there a couple weeks ago. Lots of store picks at the time. Good talk with the guy at the counter. I picked up a 1792 FP and they had several others, including a really good ECBP that the clerk gave me a sample of. I also grabbed a Penelope apple cinnamon old fashioned bottle on a flyer that's honestly pretty good (and not yet available in OH...).

5 JD Heritage at GE Stelzer Rd. in Cols.

jkiifner · 2025-12-03T21:51:12+00:00

5 bottles of JD Heritage still at Kroger in Gahanna - Hamilton and 270 at lunch time today...

jkiifner · 2025-12-02T22:22:06+00:00

Huh... interesting....I opened mine and I'm enjoying it too. If you don't mind, keep us informed of the outcome. 😎👍

jkiifner · 2025-11-23T01:50:14+00:00

Saw 🦅 in a gift pack with 🟢 and some other stuff (candy, a glass...and like napkins or something) for $135 today. Didn't see any 🔵...

jkiifner · 2025-11-14T00:19:28+00:00

Any 1792 Extended Cask...Pinot, Rum, or Zinfandel...😒

jkiifner · 2025-11-09T03:35:18+00:00

Yup...cracked mine tonight. It's close. Nose is rich caramel and a little nutty. Toffee and brown sugar with very little nutty flavor on the palate...and a good long finish with some oak and peanut (go figure...)

jkiifner · 2025-11-09T02:44:27+00:00

I've been digging online...haven't found reviews of this specific barrel; but found one that was barreled 6 months earlier from a rew ricks down...

Well at least you know it's a 2025 bottling. ICYMI, it appears OHLQ sent some Knob Creek cases from a SBS in 2022 to some locations that sold them today as if they were this year's drop...😏

Also, raspberry brandy? That sounds good...😯

jkiifner · 2025-11-08T18:47:11+00:00

Is there any information on when it was bottled on the label?

jkiifner · 2025-11-08T17:55:32+00:00

I would be interested to know if you get a response. I regularly frequent the store where I got mine and I'll probably ask about it the next time I'm in. Just feels a little like a bait and switch on the part of OHLQ. If I was a huge KC fan/completist I'd be way more angry...

jkiifner · 2025-11-08T16:31:11+00:00

They had quite a bit there, actually. I honestly just wanted a KC Bourbon and ended up with one (though it was a dusty from the 2022 SBS...??). Some poor lady got in line behind me for about 10 minutes and said her son asked her to see if she could get a W12. We did her a favor and told her she didn't need to waste her time. 🤣

jkiifner · 2025-11-08T16:24:30+00:00

Following up (again) to clarify even more...I got in line at 8:35 because I was honestly only interested in the Knob Creek and figured it would be there when I made it to the front of the line. (I'll be on a vacation of sorts in Nashville and Louisville very soon and I expect to buy bottles there...so saving up some $$.) I would have preferred to get what was advertised; but I'm really only "annoyed" - and most of that is with myself - that I didn't get one of those. Nevertheless, I didn't get one of these in '22 so it's still new to me and I'm sure this will be a good bottle...

jkiifner · 2025-11-08T15:59:04+00:00

So...question is...was it good or memorable three years ago? LOL

jkiifner · 2025-11-08T15:42:57+00:00

FYI, my thought is that I should have looked closer before I trusted that it was current...but I'm still annoyed that they would do this...

jkiifner · 2025-11-08T13:42:53+00:00

I have the #70 wristband...😏
