Thoughts on this? I'm personally just excited to see Maker's Mark do something outside the box. Name is eerily close to another bottle lol.

I agree. The high barley mashbill could be really interesting if it adds some chocolate notes to the normal MM flavors. $100 is pretty steep but im sure ill buy a bottle.

Not in my price range.

I prefer to stay below $70.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed will work in its place for me.

MSRP is $149.99 in Utah. That price is basically MSRP after tax.

Just got this email for Westward Club members. This sucks.

Quote:
To our loyal Club Members,

As the most valued part of our community, I'm writing today to share a recent development that addresses short-term challenges, and also positions Westward Whiskey for future success.

It is no secret that market conditions for independent distillers like Westward are more challenging than ever. Earlier this week, we filed for Chapter 11 (Subchapter V) bankruptcy protectiona mechanism designed to help small businesses like ours restructure and move forward from a position of strength.

Though interest in Westward grew last yearthanks to wonderful fans and supporters like youthis step is necessary as we explore financial and strategic alternatives to help our company thrive as an independent craft distiller. Throughout this process, we will continue to operate as usual, and we will continue to bring our world-class whiskeys and innovative special releases to the Westward Whiskey Club and beyond.

We have chosen this path because we are confident that Westward has a bright future. Restructuring will allow us to better compete and win in today's marketplacewhile continuing to shape the whiskey industry of tomorrow.

So, what does this mean for you? Simply put, nothing changes.

Your next club release is on schedule to ship in May. We will host our regularly scheduled release event at the distillery and look forward to continuing to explore the world of whiskey with you in the years to come.

As we make our way through this restructuring process, I want to thank you for your support, and for our shared belief in what we're building together. We look forward to welcoming you at the distillery and in our tasting rooms soon.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at club@westwardwhiskey.com.

Onward and Westward,

Thomas Mooney
Founder & CEO

Not that surprising - many distilleries outside of the big 6 are either PE-owned or will go the ch11 route. Big big initial investment with a long profit turn time on core products, you're just trying to sell experiences in the interim.

Sounds like they may have some stuff lined up at least, not panicking.

Birthday pours.

The OKI is literally EHT barrel proof that finishes into Wild Turkey.

I've really liked breaking bourbon over the years, but I've noticed nothing new is rated below 3.5 stars lately.

What's SLB?

Their last 5 reviews (3, 3.5, 2.5, 2.5, 2). I think they tend to be pretty fair.

This is Buff-Turkey.

There are at least 11 different barrels. They are under OKI, Elkwood Reserve, River Roots, Seelbachs, and a few others.

The guy I bought from had 4 different barrel choices from specs alone so this one at 109.6 had the best reviews. I would say it's worth $250-300, not $450-500 but this barrel is pretty damn good. I traded two 2017 Weller Antiques that I paid $24 each for and got this and an Eagle Rare. I think I came out ahead!

Might we have a couple small picks coming to you?

Maybe so.... Maybe not?

I guess you'll just have to F5 to find out.

Father-son basement bar review youtube channel. They are pretty funny and honest. I often throw them on the tv while sampling my own stuff.

Totally fair, it may just be the products I'm searching for on the go. I do generally agree with their ratings, so I was afraid they were starting to get inflated.

I agree with you on that. I think most products that I'm doing a quick search to see how it's reviewed tend to be bottles that are "generally above average" which is why I'm looking for them. Might be the same case for you too.

That's been a gripe of mine with them for awhile. I like their site and their reviews are a good resource, but sometimes I'll read a review where they have quite a bit negative to say about the bottle, then give it a 3 or 3.5 rating. Huh?? I understand a site not wanting to give a terrible review and tank a brand or an expression, but they've just seemed overly generous with some of their ratings.

They have been around for like 20 years. I think it is just a combination of higher rates/costs, lower demand, and maybe expanding a bit too much like the tasting room in the Airport.

If i were Brown-Forman or Sazerac i'd be chomping at the bit to add them to my portfolio. None of the big ones have shown the ability to do a good ASM and this is the premier distillery for it.

If you're talking about the Sazerac drawing, I'm wondering if they're still having it given all they they're dealing with right now
