    That is entirely possible. My whisky friends and I do blind tastings every month or so. It is interesting to see how what people like does not consistently correlate with price point. When we did a cask strength rye night, the Willet was the favorite followed by Thomas Handy rye which is much more expensive. I don't remember what the others were, but those two stood out when tasting blind.

    It is an interesting hobby.

    I think the distillers play a lot of games too. One of my favorites is Stagg Jr. The batch #9 they released last year was remarkably better than other batches--so good I suspect it is George T. Stagg bottled as Jr.

    Just picked up another bottle of Noah's Mill. I've reported in the past that a couple of bottles were very grassy and generally not up to standard. The bottle I bought last night, though, was excellent. The store had four more bottles from the same lot. I am really tempted to go grab them all.

    I opened a bottle of Stagg Jr Batch 11 last night. It is superb. Cherries, a bit of vanilla and black pepper and silky smooth for 127.9 proof.

    I picked up a bottle a while ago and haven’t opened it yet. Mine is also the 127.9 but I don’t see a batch #. Where do you see it?

    ^ Thanks. Knew the big one, John T Stagg was tracked that way, didn’t know the Stagg Jr was also.

    I haven't seen anything out there in a couple months now. Not one bottle of Stagg Jr. Poof, it's gone I guess.

    Just getting into bourbon season for me, plus really busy so haven’t checked on what’s out there. Guess it’s time to stop by a few of my favorite stores. Still have my Stagg Jr unopened from last year along with a few others ready to be unsealed.

    Actually both the Peerless rye and bourbon are pretty widely available in most markets.

    Look on wine-searcher for them.
