200. I thought that was fair considering.  They said they should have some pappy in a few weeks. Hopefully I can score!!

Sipping on some Four Roses Old fashioned's this evening and feelin' fine! Having only tasted Pappy a couple times i'd say the hype outweighs the price by miles. Gimme some Weller or Black Maple Hill at a fraction of the price for the single barrel quality.

Have any of you tried High West - A Midwinter Night’s Dram? My local has a few bottles coming in soon and will put one aside for me. Wondering if it’s worth the price tag. 

high west is local, for me. Haven’t tried that one but they make good spirits.

Anyone try Conor McGregor's product yet?  Apparently people are buying it, drinking it, then selling the empty bottles on ebay for more than the full bottle cost.

Haven’t tried it. Heard it’s good though. Conor is all about the money these days.

Have some friends that pounded through a bottle on Thanksgiving.  I didn't see them in time.  They seemed to like it.

Show off!    I always see the Stagg on the lists of "best bourbons" but never had it.  Looks like something J.R. Ewing would drink, not that there's anything wrong with that.

I've got a bottle.  It's pretty good.  I like a number of High West products, this one was a little disappointing for the price.  If you mellow it out with a splash or a cube, the flavor comes out more.

Picked this up. 

Pretty damn good. Recommended by my local. 

Anybody else ever try this?!?

Ya know, I've never had a sip of rye in my life.  How does it compare to corn & barley mashes?
