I am looking forward to your thoughts on those! I just polished off my OF King Ranch bottle.

So I had my first 2 oz pour last night of the soft red wheat rickhouse proof.
My inital thoughts.

Man what a nose. Do I even need to drink it or can I just smell it all night.
Toasted / burnt cherry reduction and vanilla.
or cherry, barrel char and vanilla if you perfer that description thinhorn.

Palate. yea. Its a wheater. Better then most. But still had that wheater taste that I dont favor. Can I just go back to smelling it?

Finish was nice.

Overall its in the top 3 wheaters I have had.

Now I wait for the 1856 8 yr review. That mash bill does not have any wheat.

Here are the ones I have. I’m going to open the one on the right tonight and see what I think.

The unopened tater portion of my collection. The JDSBBP bottles on the right are the best in the collection, from a pure taste perspective. The particular 1792 full proof hiding in the back is a close second. The JD Rye is the best bottle here, and I’m not a rye guy generally speaking. The fact that the rye is $70 on almost any decent shelf is mind blowing.
 
Good score to get all those in one day. Mind sharing if you are in KY and or paid msrp?
In CA. Not sure what msrp is but all 5 was right around $700. Seemed like a decent deal without jumping through a bunch of hoops or waiting a long while.
