Good evening gentlemen .

Glad to hear about the Sazerac timeline TA. I'm definitely interested in adding that to the MM.

Starting with a Manhattan. Not included in the picture of ingredients is a tear or two. This was my go to drink at a local restaurant pre covid. 11 bucks.

FYI to those in the thread, Evan Williams SiB is no longer Kentucky only, it hit the Lafayette market this week.

Yep, and McKenna 10 has been flooding the market too. I saw multiple cases at multiple stores this week.

Indeed. People not buying at that new high price. Warning to the producers

The best price I’ve seen is $55, but also a friend of mine who is a store owner told me it’s over $50 at cost now.

ETA: two years ago this same store owner had it for $35 on the shelf

I know, finding replacements can be challenging.

Happy weekend everyone. Usually don't do so, but had to snap a picture of this Rittenhouse rye Manhattan at a restaurant for posterity. No skimping on the pour.

Epic, how does that compare to the double oak you recently got? I have a younger double oak (7 yr) and while good, the cognac finish is a clear step above. I have seen it on secondary for what is nearly identical to retail which kind of blows my mind, especially given what purple tops go for.

The Cask is better, IMO. More depth of flavor, probably has to do with the 127 proof vs the 112 proof of my DO 9 yr. Also, I think the double oaking adds a honey note which is lighter in profile, whereas the cognac finish adds a dark fruit note. I’m gonna get another The Cask soon, it runs about $25 more than the DO, but it’s worth it IMO.

ETA: is your DO 100% Willett mashbill? I know some aren’t, if not I can send you a sample of mine.

ETA2: honestly, the cognac finish pairs so well with the Willett profile that it really just tastes like a good purple top IMO, I don’t know if I could tell it was finished in a blind.
