There's a couple you're missing, you'll have to decide if they all qualify for your tasting.

 

Maybe Madagascar?

 

Definitely Madagascar^^ And if you can get your hands on OG Vanilla Rye, that should be added. That's a great lineup though; you'll never have them all, so you should be good with the ones you have, but I'd try to get a Madagascar if you can. Cheers and enjoy!

 

Well that was quick....

 

OG Vanilla Rye = 2010 Bourbon County Vanilla Rye (as opposed to 2014 Vanilla Rye)

 

Modern Times BBA Monsters' Park w/Vanilla.

And are you doing reg Vanilla Shake or BA Vanilla shake?

 

if you are getting technical, & admittedly it's been a long time but best i recall the 2010 iteration i believe you are referring to stated : "Bourbon" with zero mention of the word "Rye".

 

Prairie vanilla noir

 

2010 Vanilla Rye doesn't exist - OG Nilla was aged in bourbon barrels, not rye barrels.

OP, it looks like you have some killer beers lined up, but I think you are doing a disservice to the tasting by automatically advancing the big hype bottles into the final round. I would suggest either narrowing down the list and doing it all blind, or coming up with some sort of bracket system that had randomly assigned showdowns.
