Not exactly a new release but I picked up a Rogue Whiskey (#272302) for $39.95, originally priced at $88.80. Not a bad value but I have also not heard very good reviews.

Personally Achel Extra then Westy at fresh stages. Westy 12 tho aged is phenomenal. I haven't had Achel ages yet though. Next for me is St Bernardus Abt 12. Chimay Blue then Rochefort. What's everyone's plans for this release? Show up tomorrow 11am? Or waiting to hear something about it ? I was tol...

It is just me or does the shipyard smashed pumpkin taste extra strange this year? I recall it not being very good last year but this years just seems to have a weird taste to it.
