Weekly Catalog Update for 10/24

PLCB spirits catalog changes for the week of October 24th:

New in-store and online products:

• High West Silver Whiskey OMG Pure Rye Utah 750ML (#030339, Online, $41.99)
• High West Whiskey Son of Bourye Utah 750ML (#030440, Online, $41.99)

As far as I can tell, PA is the first market in the US to see these new products from High West, other than the on-site store at the distillery of course. The OMG silver rye is an attempt to replicate the distinctive "Old Monongahela" whiskey from Western PA in the early 19th century, and to my knowledge they're the only distillery trying to produce a whiskey of this style. I can't wait to see how the aged product turns out. "Son of Bourye," as the name implies, is a younger (and cheaper) version of their existing Bourye whiskey, an interesting blend of both bourbon and rye.

I learned recently that El Tequileño is made by a member of the Cuervo family, Jorge Salles Cuervo, which explains why El Tequileño tastes strikingly similar to Jose Cuervo Especial. That's not a complaint, necessary--it's certainly a much higher quality than Especial--but the family resemblance is uncanny.
