Why pay an inflated price for a 750 of WT Forgiven. Mix three parts of WT 101 Bourbon with one part of WT Rye 101. BONUS! -  One bottle of WT 101 Bourbon and one bottle of WT 101 Rye cost less than a single bottle of WT Forgiven. The marketing boys at WT hit one out of the park with this one!

Rumor has it that the Fall allocation should be shipping soon.

Most of the Rye on the list may be found for ~ $25, or less. Exceptions are the Van Winkle Rye and Jefferson's Reserve Rye Jefferson's Reserve Rye 10 year old Van Winkle Family Reserve 13 Year Old Rye ( watch for the Fall release of the Van Winkle Bourbon and Rye in the next few weeks, Hope...
