Has anyone tried this yet? I've seen it advertised in my social media feed and it sounds very interesting...

^^Nope but I'd be willing to try it. My favorite tequila is still Clase Azul though.

Last sip I had was Diplimatico Rum 2004 Single Vintage

Not a tequila drinker but I currently have a craving for some oak aged tequila.

Maybe it's the travel bug acting up.. it's hard to track the good stuff down in Ontario.

i just picked up a bottle of the WP10SB from the navy package store. havent cracked it open yet...

in fact, yesterday was probably my most successful trip ever to the navy package store...it's really hit or miss there...mostly miss. but they must've have gotten a three-month backlog shipment considering most shelves have been empty since prior to thanksgiving!

Family reserve is an excellent extra anejo, especially when it's free.

Very smooth and peppery and they come in a very cool box.

That's a good score. State min price on that McKenna 10 is $59.99 here, I believe. I liked it as a $35 bottle, much less so at $60. That's what winning a gold in San Francisco gets you, though.

That WhistlePig is from Alberta Distillers, IIRC. Some of their offerings are sourced from MGP in Indiana - maybe the 12 year? If you're looking for an everyday cocktail rye, George Dickel rye is also MGP distilled, 4 years old, I think and at $25/bottle here it's damned tough to beat from a value perspective. Not the most complex sipper, but makes a great Sazerac or Manhattan.

yeah, i was also a fan of the mckenna prior to the gold medal fiasco...it's just funny that many people think they're buying the same whiskey without considering the whole notion of single barrell bottlings! luckily the navy exchange pricing is still discounted from that old $35 MSRP!!

and yes, WP10SB is still sourced from canada. i'm a huge fan of ryes generally, and whistle pig specifically. i think their last farmstock bottling was the first to contain a majority of their own homegrown juice. i do appreciate what they're trying to do...unlike many other "new wave" bottlers whose only goal is to blend MGP juices.

My trove from Cuba. My best catch was the rare 15 y/o @ $220.

^^ Nice. I have a bottle of the 7 year and I only tried the 15yr. A client of mine went to Cuba and brought me back the 7yr and a mini bottle sampler so I could try the entire line up. Sadly here in the states we can't get that stuff. Yall are lucky
