I have a couple bottles of Whistle Pig bourbon headed my way , 6 yr high corn, will report back
when I open one.
Update:I don’t know the mashbill on this but there is a healthy dose of rye in it.First impression on the nose is a healthy dose of alcohol that thankfully doesn’t show itself on the palate.I think just the right amount of sweetness and spice, with a touch of grain showing on the finish.I had 2 samples and the second was smooth as silk.For $50 I will buy again.
Anyone tried the Fortuna label? Looks like same guys who make Rare Character
Julian, have you had any Rare character?Just got an offer for their 6 yr.rye distilled by BBC.$100.

Dan, unfortunately that’s been an impossible bottle to “find” for quite a few years now I think.
For those interested Garrison Texas Cowboy bourbon (67%) just hit local stores in Seattle area. Total has it for $300. Price is a bit steep, but it’s a unique and powerful bourbon.
Have not tried their rye, but the bourbon is solid.

My son’s thrift sale find today. Tax seal was cracked, cork crumbly so he opened and strained the cork bits out.
His tasting note: It’s delicious. Tastes like browned butter, caramel corn, and a little funky vanilla sauternes. He’s bringing it home to have at Christmas.

That would be spectacular to try!

Well, finally got the bottle and broke into it. Have to say, it’s not really for me. Far sweeter and more caramel than a “lesser” bourbon. I’ve had two or three pours, and am not really enjoying it. If someone local wants the rest of the bottle, you’re welcome to it for what I paid.
Sounds what I would expect based on russel 10 year. Sweet and even coconutty to my taste. Just trade it to an angels envy advocate.

Yeah, I keep trying to nail down what gives it the sweetness. Toasted coconut is definitely in there. It’s not maple syrup, but leans in that direction. Might be a lot better in a cocktail, but I assume it’s supposed to be drunk neat.

JMO but the rye and the American shine for me,and it’s not close.I was fortunate to get a few barrel strength ryes that are stellar.
Agree 100% on the American, in particular. That said, I’m a Michter’s junky.

And yet no BS or TB American yet that I have come across. I was hoping to pick up the current MTSM for a decent price but missed the boat on release.
