After getting home from work I have tried them all. My quick take (had 2 Not Your Fathers root beer, 1 Row Hard and 1 Coney Island).

All 3 were good and I would buy them again. My opinion the not your fathers had the best mix of sweetness from the root beer and alcohol and was probably my favorite. Row Hard had more of an alcohol taste, it was almost a full percentage point higher in alcohol content than the others. But it still tasted good. Coney Island was back towards the sweet side like the not your fathers, but I still think I enjoyed the Not Your Fathers more. I keep getting a little bit of a funny after taste from the Coney Island. Maybe it's because I had it right after the more alcoholic Row Hard? Will try it again with a fresh palate.

Quick take. I have the right to change my opinion after more sampling

Edit: my wife says she likes the Coney Island one the most. Says its sweeter.

It was during a Johnnie Walker whiskey tasting event on the cruise ship. Originally, they wanted 2 for $325. During the event, 1 hour only it was $292 for the 2 bottles. Wonderful NY prices, a bottle is around $230 if not more depending on where I can find it for best price. Was it a steal...no, but a somewhat good deal...I think so.

Yeah that is a good price, out here it's around the same $280 to $350. Once in a while I'll see it on sale at Costco for $180.

I cringed a little bit on the price. And my girlfriend wasn't too happy. But she supported me anyway. She's a keeper! These bottles will last quite some time too. As I'd only drink on very special occasions. Suprisingly, never knew my girlfriend even tried johnnie blue until she told me about it and said it was too smooth for her. I give her props for even trying it.
