$90 after tax...so pretty close? Not sure what a bottle cost before allocation madness set in
I would have paid $90. Never see it on a shelf here....last time I visited Buffalo Trace it was the pick of the day so I have been saving it

Has anybody seen any Jack Daniel's 10 year old batch 2 or 12 year old batch 2? It supposed to be released around the end of March. I wouldn't mind grabbing a bottle of each. I'm sure it's heavily allocated.

It should be out now. That said, I haven't seen it. If I can, I'd like to get one of each, but I def want to get my hands on the 12. I've heard nothing but awesome reviews about it.

I've only gotten one at $60. That was like 2 years ago. I still have 2/3 of a bottle. For $60, it's good, but there are better bottles out there at the same price, IMHO. I would never pay over MSRP if I ever saw another...and the only reason I'd get another is because I may not see one again for 5 years! hahaha

Yeah I'll never pay above retail for anything anymore. I do have a friend that can hook up a decent bottle every now and then but other than that it's not worth chasing bottles. The whole scene is just sad. I'll gladly drink a $35 bottle of Russel's Reserve on a regular basis.

That's where I'm at....although I would pay $20-$30 above for a Blanton's, EHT, Eagle Rare (still never had it)
You're right though. Russell's Reserve or Wild Turkey Rare Breed are good enough.
In 10 years we likely won't have this insanity as they increased their capacity.

They are both out in the world. Just not in every state yet. Soon though. And they are extremely heavily allocated

I just checked the Drizly app. Jack 10 is listed for $450! F!!! That said, this store always jacks prices waaaay up.

That's unreal. I have batch 1 and 2 for the 10 year. Opened the 10 year when I got it a couple of years ago and still 3/4 full. Not very good imo. I'll probably just pass batch 2 to one of my friends. These bottles are way more hype than the juice that's in them. Haven't had the 12 though.
Emjoying some of this while watching the NCAA Tournament. A little hot at 116 proof, but very tasty.
I don't understand the ice in the drinks. I had a buddy that would do that w cognac. Totally changes the dynamic of the drink.
Obviously I'm a neat drinker. I think it has more flavor if no ice is added.
Personal preference. Some I drink neat, others with ice or splash of water.
Splash of water I get. If it's too hot it can smooth it out. Ice for me changes it completely and I don't find me getting all the flavors. i don't know if that's just me though?
I’ll repeat the story than Julian Van Winkle (and family) often drink it with an ice cube and a twist of orange. To each their own
The grandson or whatever went into a NY bar and ordered it like that and the bartender refused to sell it to him that way. I know the story and found it very interesting as I wouldn't do that to any PVW pour either.
So my question to everyone. Do you notice a difference in the flavors if you have ice or not?
I feel like we've had thus discussion before lol
When it's chilled, either with ice or whiskey rocks, I tend to get more of the vanilla flavors. When it's neat, I tend to get more caramel flavors and get the spice if the mash bill contains a good dose of rye. Personally, I can drink it either way. For normal 80-100 proof bottles, I typically drink it neat. Once you start getting into the higher proof (110 or higher), I'll drink it with ice. While I've been drinking whiskeys for a while, I still can't do those neat. Just burns way too much and the cold/water helps with that.

TY. I believe we all stated how we drink but not the different flavors if we do alter it.
I have in the past, placed ice in a bourbon. I always felt like it was missing something, so I only do neat or a drop of water.
So my question to everyone. Do you notice a difference in the flavors if you have ice or not?
I don't add ice, unless I'm making a whisky cocktail. I say, enjoy it how you like it!
That said, I do like to add some drops of water to cask strength whiskey at times. I find it to be a ton of fun...especially for CS Scotches. You can really dig deep and unearth some great flavors and scents by just adding a drop or two of water. What sucks is when you take it too far and those flavors get broken or lost with the water. At that point, you can add back some from the bottle and it "usually" gets you back to where you were.

I have an extra bottle(s) of Blantons, Stagg (formerly known as Jr.}, and E.H Taylor Rye.
