I just opened one last night and it’s definitely Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a bottle!
It’s 33,000 bottles made. It’s on Breaking Bourbon.
I was able to get two bottles and agree with this review. One of my favorites
So dang good Alan!
Just bought it
Scored one for $90.00 🙌
Amazing Scott!
I have to snag a bottle!
Just got my local place to hold one of their bottles of Rio till Friday for me. Cant wait!
Heck yea!
Good review. I haven't seen it in my area but I was able to score a Nulu Amburana finish which is good.
I’ve heard good things about the Nulu amburana!
Just found out yesterday that MGP purchased Penelope. For me? I’m not bothering to watch Penelope, just going to buy whatever MGP puts in the bottles. 😂
Penelope always sourced their whiskey from MGP. Nothing from Penelope is going to change all this buyout is going to do is allow Penelope to acquire higher aged barrels from MGP
Snickerdoodle cookie and honey buns you say 🤤
So good Brotha! Cheers!
Finally picked up a bottle for 95. Tastes like if you soaked Cinnamon Toast Crunch in anejo tequila and strained out the cereal. Then put the tequila in a bourbon bottle
I wish it would come to kentucky
Soon!
I can’t even find it at secondary :(
Agreed. I did a google search and found a single bottle selling for $400. Hard pass.
Such a a shame! Keep on hunting!
It would be cool if I could find this bottle. I traveled to 12 liquor stores last Saturday in Edison, East Brunswick and Monmouth county with no luck.
Connecticut only received 33 bottles for the entire state. It’s near impossible to find
I have not tried it.
And 3 months later it hit ohio for 1 day and its already cleaned out. But OH YEAH I GOT MINE GO BIRDS!!!
go birds!
I have only seen bottles of Rio on channels such as yours. Glad you got a chance to try it! 🥃
Thanks Dave! I hope it lands in your hands soon!
That’s awesome, congrats. I have been keeping an eye out, haven’t seen it yet, but gotta keep on keeping on. Cheers
Cheers brotha!
Great review. I haven't seen it anywhere but if I do I'm definitely grabbing it. Cheers!
Yes steve grab it if you can!
I missed it by few hours. Damn work affecting my bourbon collection. Lol. Sounds great. Thanks for reviewing. Cheers
Dang it! I hope you can get your hands on it
Without Kevin, who knows if we'd have HALF of the bottles we've discussed on the Podcast! Glad we were able to help a fellow bourbon drinker out!
Facts!
Thanks gents! You all rock!
I can’t wait to get this!
I can’t wait for you to get it!
I'm curious to see if the distribution of Penelope will grow to places like Virginia now that they've been acquired by Ross & Squibb. Killer review. 🥃
It is a possibility! Thanks cheers!
I haven’t had any of the Penelope yet but this would be one I would go for when I see it!
100% a must get if you can
Sounds so good Nathan! Hope I can find it one day. 🥃
I hope you can too Sandra!
Can't wait to get my hands on this. Haven't seen it yet in NC, but it sounds like one of the stores in SC will be doing a launch event for it... in about a month or so.
Good luck!
They’re doing an event with the guys from Penelope for it so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can get my hands on a bottle 🤞
Grabbed one a couple weeks ago. Total Wine only had 6 bottles and grabbed the last one.
Yes!
I won one of these in a local lottery. It's amazing. Have you had many Amburana finishes? To this date, Starlight is the best Amburana I've had. I've had Oak and Eden and it tastes artificial. ASW Amburana tastes like cinnamon toast crunch. But Starlight has a smokey finish which I love. But the Rio takes all of the smokiness from the Starlight and dips it in honey. Kind of like a honey roasted peanut, but not nutty. Anyway, this is one of the best I've ever had.
It’s all so good. It’s amazing what amburana does
This sounds spectacular. I’m curious how you like the Tokaji finish. Not as sweet as this but I really like it.
I’ve heard some really good things about the tokaji finish!
Im so jealous.... Cheers 🥃
Cheers brotha!
Kevin is the Bourbon Santa Claus! He's out here working miracles for everyone in the game!
Yes he is!
Wasn't a big fan of Rio way to sweet for me personally I think amburana does much better in a rye
And that’s ok! Everyone has a preference
@EverydayDrinker absolutely I don't think it's bad just not for me
if there were truly only 3000 bottles made, the availability is 0 of 5. thats only 300 bottles per state if only 10 states get allocation... the odds are
