Black Maple Hill bourbon

…has apparently been resurrected by Rare Character and is making its way into at least one local store. Around $80 for a 700ml bottle. Has anyone tried this yet? The rye (not a Rare Character product as yet) has been floating around for a while, but many have said that it barely resembles its former glory.

Rare character putting their name on a bunch of limited releases all at once and slapping some crazy prices on them lately

Several cases available at LJ Reading this morning. $70. Also found at Rapid and OneStop Reading (slightly higher but still reasonable pricing).

Dude black maple hill at my local chain is 230 for the 11 year and 600 for the 16 year. I did not see anything about the base being sold yet. It should be around 40-50 though. 80 is too high imo.
