I'd grab both if they let you!

edit: but if not, that stfb is still an instant buy for me, even being 700ml vs 750ml stateside. If they did not have the sftb, I would still get the gold!

I have on past trips. Starting to see these 2 more often over here and was very surprised to see together. On the hunt for red label and a Hibiki Japanese exclusive this trip.

Both! If you have to pick one, I'd get the SFTB.

Anyone had the Makers Riddle Me This release? Saw it at specs today but can't find much about it online in my quick search.

Probably just the name of a Specs private barrel/store pick. The ones i have tired were all pretty decent. maybe a bit over priced but if you like Maker's they are fund to try.

I wondered the same, but doesn't have the same label as some of the other specs private picks. Has a label like The Heart or Keepers release. I think Keepers just released a couple months ago, so would be surprised by another special release like that, but sure looked like it.

Edit: this is the only thing I could find on it

I think they just changed the bottle and labels on the private selects to match the wood finishing series bottles.

Oh i know, just logistics of getting us all together at once is a tall order with schedules, but the bottle will not be a shelf queen for years on end. Gonna be fun to walk in and make everyone uncomfortable saying 'I brought the KoK'

That is exactly what it is.

If i knew someone who was a huge Batman fan i'd buy them this bottle.

If there aren't a ton of KoK jokes, did you even enjoy a KoK?

What's a good price for standard Blanton's at this time? I have found it for $96.

That's about standard at retail now, unfortunately.

A GOOD price for Blanton's for me would be about $60. But yes, $90-$100 seems pretty standard these days.

Agreed. Sadly, I'd get one if on the shelf.

Was finally able to pick up a bottle of the JD ASM today. It is very similar to the 2021 special release and not in a good way. Drinks way too young, too grain forward and is way too hot of 90 proof. The Sherry helps balance it out some but it really could use some more aging. Not mad i bought it but won't buy any more.

If anyone is looking to pick this up go for the Stranahan's Sherry Cask instead. it is a better pour.

saw it at the liquor store at Costco today. Almost bought it. But a $70+ for 90 proof I thought I'd see what the board thought.

got a big fishing trip with college buddies this weekend and was able to find a bottle of eagle on the shelf for $65...probably over paid a little but its worth it for this trip.

good news it is $70 for a 1L bottle. Bad news is you have to drink a liter of it.

If wanting to try a good "entry" ASM, I would recommend Stranahan's Blue Peak or if you want more oak flavors Balcones Lineage is good for $35 (though the jump to 1 is worth it imo). A sleeper if you like Stouts would be sinister. I bought all of the bottles in SA but there are still a few at TW in Houston.

I was wondering what would be a good starter bottle for ASM. I will be on the lookout for this recommendation.

No. Keeping empty bottles is something I don't do. Just more **** to have to store somewhere. I don't see the point in it.

I think it is related to the holistic planning badge you have.

But seriously, what is that. First time I have seen it.

Thanks for the responses. I'm going to pass. When I can get 3 bottles of Buffalo Trace for the same price even though I have never tried Blanton's.

Different mashbills but you still chose wisely. I'd wait and see if ya can find a Gold or SFTB at MSRP down the road.
