    Rye Abyss is all over Lexington today. But at least $24 a bottle.

    Still not in Louisville, AFAIK. Went to LB Springhurst earlier today, nothing.

    Got the last bottle of rye at liquor barn express from the beer trappe. Totally stumbled into it!

    Look at LBS tonight or tomorrow, I bet it shows up.

    From what i saw in Lexington, Shenanigans didn't get it, The Beer Trappe got one case, Liquor Barn Express across the street did, and then Liquor Barn on Richmond did not. I did not see any sightings of cognac. It was just the Rye. 25.99 for a bottle too. Expensive but I am hoping it is worth it. Saving this bad boy for a special occasion!

    Apparently, some spots in Louisville have Rye already, but Liquor Barns are going to get it Tuesday. Supposedly, all of KY got 8 cases of Cognac, so no word on when that comes through.

    8 cases of Cognac, DAMN! Hope to snag a bottle of that too just to compare. I am a bigger Rye whiskey guy then Cognac. They say how much Rye you guys have in Louisville?

    Only seven cases of DBJ hit KY last year, so it'll be that hard to obtain. Off chance one ends up in the Bowling Green area.

    LB made it sound like the Rye would be much more plentiful, but I'm not sure if that's an overall statement or more relative to the 8 cases of Cognac.

    Do you have a breakdown of how many of those cases went where? I still can't get over how little BA Bomb was in Lexington. Three cases and those were tiny bottles.

    Something like one to Bowling Green, one to TPS, 3-4 to Louisville, and the rest to Lexington, though none hit a shelf if it did.

    ^ was it kept in the back and you had to have special passwords and junk?

    Wait a few years and it'll probably show up on a local cellar list. :wink:

    Middletown LB guy said he thought they might get a keg of Rye to be tapped at a later date -- and wouldn't give me straight answer on if/when they're expecting bottles of either variant.

    Rye apparently came and went at LB Middletown and Springhurst today and Tuesday, but I was able to track a bottle down at LBS today. Had about half a case left as of about 4:00.

    Anyone hear anything about the cognac?

    supposedly cognac has come and gone at LB Springhurst and Old Town

    Really? That surprises me because I have seen nothing in Lexington. Not even The Beer Trappe had bottles.

    Nobody at LB Beaumont knew about it this morning, and nobody at LB Hamburg knew about it earlier this week.

    Trappe not having bottles out and visible doesn't mean Trappe doesn't have bottles.

    I didn't mean it like that. I go in and talk to the guys at the beer trappe and they said they only got rye in. Granted they could have lied to me haha
