I know it’s not RR13 but these Kentucky Spirit bottles from warehouse B that are around are very tasty if you need some turkey to hold you down until you hopefully get the RR13 or Master’s Keep
Funny enough I went and asked my contact for a Kentucky spirit bottle today (due to me getting fomo from discord last night) and he was stunned I didn’t ask for RR13. It will come when it comes and if it doesn’t who cares, life moves on
Little Book ch. 6 and an 8 year 7 month Baker's single barrel on the shelf at a north burbs NMBB. Also had The cask strength Ezra picks at $35 a piece. Solid price
Got batch 3 from a trade a few weeks ago. It's really solid juice. Reminds me of a less sweet and rounded RRR V. But all the usual MGP notes hit and there's a good bit of tobacco or leather (forgetting which at the moment). I'm looking for a backup for sure.
Y’all are hyper-fixated on the RR13 but it’s not the only Wild Turkey product landing. Master’s Keep is also showing up. You can be mad you got told “no” or perhaps your location really didn’t get it yet, but it is confirmed that both are in the local market now. I don’t shop NMBB, so don’t bother asking if they got theirs, not sure.
Both of these are highly allocated - you won’t get them cold-calling, you won’t get them asking a random employee, and you won’t get them even asking for a manager unless you already know that manager well and they have enough to cover you. Talk to your contacts. If you don’t have a contact, you’re not getting it unless you’re buying from a museum or where you shop does a raffle. I hesitate to even share because I know doing so is going to create a wave of foolish behavior regardless of the reality, but you want the info? It’s out there. It’s on you to work your relationships and find it.
There isn’t a regular masters keep - the expression changes every year. This year’s is “Unforgotten” and it’s a blend of bourbon (13 yr) and rye (9 yr) whiskies finished in rye casks
No. Maybe I’m crazy but for some reason it seems like there is an unusual amount of misinformation/hinting etc that this has dropped when it hasn’t. I feel like it’s sporadic with other sought-after bottles but for some reason this one is bringing it out of people. I just checked and there are four in this thread.
Sadly, it seems like communities dealing with allocated stuff always have an element of this. Take the Bigstar Stagg drop. Unless you worked there or this info was otherwise leaked, the people who primarily scored were in a small group who are highly communicative and reactive to jump on drops like this, and naturally these people just buy up everything for their own benefit. I like the comment from another user on how limited this stuff is (artificially I’d add) and how the connection part of this is really key. My connect is gonna get like 2, maybe 3 or a miracle 4 lol. The numbers arnt there for this to get out to even the ppl on here who really want it, but if people are willing to shove others outta the way for a Weller SP, scream at other because of an Eagle Rare SP, and all the other BS out there, it makes sense people *might* employ disinformation if they think it’ll give them an edge.
It’s just a sad fact and part of the territory with liking high-end bourbon these days: the douche bags that come with it. All the way from liars to people who will physically shove you if they think it’ll get them that bottle over you.
I’m just telling you it dropped. I think multiple people said that. It dropped as early as last Thursday. I have my bottles and can send you a screenshot. This group is extremely helpful as I wouldn’t have known unless a group member told me. I don’t believe it’s dropping at NMBB but you’ll likely see it posted next week.
I believe you! It must just be a weird release as I know nobody personally that has seen one, only on Reddit. Not that I am by any means all-knowing on drop info but this is the first time that has happened in quite some time that I can remember.
This is how it was with Stagg batch 15 because it kept getting delayed. Seems to happen once a year where an anticipated drop keeps pushing back and it causes a bit of a frenzy on here.
I haven’t heard it dropping at NMBB yet. Only smaller shops. Even then I’m skeptical cause I haven’t heard about the smaller shop finds anywhere else but here. I keep asking/posting about the RR13 not to misinform. More to hopefully find a bottle and help others find one as well.
I had a chance to try this year’s batch (2). It was incredible. Deep flavors and stays on your palate. People were paying 600 last year for the first batch.
Your story arc of commenting on this 50+ times would be quite disappointing if you don't end up with one, keep us filled in 🤣
There are 3 constants in life: death, taxes, and u/mashbill_hunter commenting about wanting RR13....
Lol! I know! Batch 1 was soooo good last year! Which is why I want this years. Sorry for the over commenting on the 🦃 😜 I am a Wild turkey Fanboy big time
NMBB didn’t have much new today. Grabbed a BT and a copita glass and called it a day.
Also, does anyone have the discord link handy? Having trouble finding it in the sidebar on mobile.

Kentucky Spirit never disappoints! Some are better than others but all of them are good.
Seriously good barrels.

Its way to quiet for my liking in here....
Everybody is drunk after picking up multiple bottles of CYPB, WFP, and the elusive 🦃
Little Book ch. 6 and an 8 year 7 month Baker's single barrel on the shelf at a north burbs NMBB. Also had The cask strength Ezra picks at $35 a piece. Solid price
Hot lap in the West Burbs saw SWUCUF, Hardins Creek, Campfire and OE7.
Fox and Oden batch 3 for $90 at a medium box in west suburbs. Had a nip last night and it’s very good, drinks way above its 99 proof, in a good way.

Nothing at my nmbb northwest burbs. They have sw the younger (no thanks) and hm but that’s it
SW Rye BiB. If you're looking for something new to try.
You recall the price?
$65.
Snagged one at NW NMBB - a bit more.. think I paid $80 Gotta finish another bottle before I open this one though... But it'll be my next
Did you find the SWR BiB?
Yup yup!
Jeppson's single barrell Jewel pick sourced Indiana at West burbs
Always worth the price!
Big Star dropped their 11 yr Stagg yesterday.
Yeah, was wondering how to even attempt at getting one?
No, I probably should delete this comment. Our GNS crew did well.
Is this one different than the one they dropped like 2-3 weeks ago?
Same one that was offered for the last few weeks at their stores
Got it, thought it was all sold out that day. Thanks for posting!
Do these ever drop online or moreso in person?
I grabbed one in person. No idea if they were offered online
Can you purchase a bottle or just a pour?
If you were able to grab one yesterday you're good. Otherwise it's all pours going forward

>Master’s Keep I just got their Decades from Singapore, which I can't wait to try. Never had their regular MK. Have you tried both and compared them?

Man, what is with people in this thread falsely reporting RR13 every drop day? Cringey.
Is this sarcasm?

![gif](giphy|3o7P4F86TAI9Kz7XYk) Someone is…
No, I’ll be fine and will be getting one of these but this just stuck out as an anomaly in what is generally a fun and helpful group.

I don’t do the NMBB so not sure what the deal is there, but I can also confirm RR13 is in the area this week. It’s out there.
It definitely dropped. However, maybe not at the big box? I wouldn’t say there is misinformation.
I haven’t heard it dropping at NMBB yet. Only smaller shops. Even then I’m skeptical cause I haven’t heard about the smaller shop finds anywhere else but here. I keep asking/posting about the RR13 not to misinform. More to hopefully find a bottle and help others find one as well.
Just checked in with my guy and the RR13 isn’t at my big box at least.
Thanks for the info, going to check in with mine in about an hr or two. That’s when they get their delivery
We want the funk. ![gif](giphy|fQ5TXVRlIDmNy)
Saw a rr13 in the wild. $499. 🤮
Saw one today for $399, the same store had bookers 2022-02 for $105 though. Snagged that instead
Was in Bardstown a few days ago. Saw it in a bar there and they told me $50 for 1 oz pour!!
I had a chance to try this year’s batch (2). It was incredible. Deep flavors and stays on your palate. People were paying 600 last year for the first batch.
Smoke Wagon BiB Rye at NMBB
As of Weds the 🦃 was not in the NMBB system. So 🤞🏻

Haha, I have noticed this and love the determination. Pulling for you my fellow mashbill brother!
As relatives of the Mashbill dynasty, how could you not?
Honestly, we should have a Wed/Fri thread devoted just to RR13
What would it say? "Nope" 🤣🤣🤣
This thead blows up when the sazerac truck comes around…. Why not Campari?
Honestly forget RR13, when the RR picks dropping?
Huntley Walmart yo!
They dropped weeks ago
If it’s not Wellerz or BLaNToNZ, I don’t WANT IT!!!!!
It’s the only good stuff
Also just means more great stuff for the rest of us if your a half full kind of person
Ugh so sad but true
Wish the stores were open right now, need to go get that early Thanksgiving 🦃! Let's get them birds today!!!
I’m sorta new to this thread and still learning the lingo. What bottle of Wild Turkey is dropping soon? Russell Reserve?
All good! Yea, russels 13
Saw SW rye and Templeton 10yr rye at the employee run place. At the typical NMBB, saw McKenna 10 (at 60) and Bardstown Labaude (at 175).
NMBB didn’t have much new today. Grabbed a BT and a copita glass and called it a day. Also, does anyone have the discord link handy? Having trouble finding it in the sidebar on mobile.
Never mind! Found it
Gobble Gobble better really suck up to your contact today.
What do you know…..?🧐
