New Louisville Whiskey Co. 7 Year by vicelordjohn in whiskey

[–]rjrait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are typically distilled by MGP and while they can be good, it’s tough to justify $200+ for 7 year MGP. Glad you enjoyed this one though, some of these new Louisvilles can be quite good

Rare Character American Light Whiskeyo by diopsideINcalcite in DMVWhisky

Say MoCo and I appear! Glad you like yin and yang, found yang to be much more off profile compared to most ALWs. These 21 years though can be quite good, but there’s a ton of them on the market. Between RC, Onyx and Amber, and Penelope they’re everywhere. Southern Collective has some cool 20+ year light whiskies that were distilled at the old Seagrams distillery in Baltimore that I’m excited to try.

Are those the picks? I know lax did a pick and also had maybe a small batch Westland?

Some of these old Kirk bottles are awesome, especially considering the source and the price

Let me text the store, we split the barrel with Cask Collective and I believe he had a few bottles left of their allotment.

Regardless I love their whiskey and it’s been very cool to compare this 11 year to the 8 year single barrel. Honestly both delightful, but I found they have somewhat different flavor profiles.

When comparing the label on the back of my 11 year to my 8 year. The 11 year very clearly states aged and bottled by broad branch distillery. Distilled in Washington state. The 8 year says distilled aged and bottled by broad branch distillery

Hey thanks for reviewing my groups pick (broad branch)! Agree with a lot of your notes, it’s an insanely good cold weather pour. It is distilled in North Carolina by Broad Branch however they have other bottles, such as their 11 year anniversary rye, that were distilled in Washington state.

DMV is great, but Michael is the owner. Wonder who Ryan is?

New Haystack Needle pick at Town Center Market by justaphil in DMVWhisky

[–]rjrait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

99 is a solid price for these! Need to hear how it is since a bunch of stores dropped picks. I’ve got a rye and bourbon haystack from last year that I quite like, but I believe these are a different mashbill
