My press release didn't specify an "on shelf" date. If they are just bottling next week, It will take a while for the product to get to your local retailer. Be patient. Kyle, I reviewed the Four Roses 2009 single barrel on my blog a little while back: http://blog.maltadvocate.com/2009/04/17/review-new-four-roses-single-barrel-2009-vintage/ Todd, yes the bar is set pretty high. Some have been pretty amazing. (Others have been just good.) I am looking forward to the new release. murphy, it depends on how quickly they get it into distribution.

I love the OFBBs. Last year's release did not measure up the previous release, but the bar is very high when considering all years of OFBB. I still find bottles of my favorite release here and there, including one last week (2nd release, distilled Spring 1990). Chris Morris' careful consideration of the barrels is fascinating and it is fun to compare and contrast different years (2005 and 2006 was an interesting comparison). I hope they hold to a Fall release, unlike last year. Great! I love the OFBBs.

On a side note have you, John, or any one had any of the Four Roses Limited Edition 2009. Anything on the way about that whiskey?
