Favorite Whiskey?

Leopold Bros Maryland Rye is probably my favorite whiskey but with such a limited release this year I wasn't able to grab another few bottles.

But this is new this year, haven't tried it yet.
Their small batch is great too

 

Little Last minute Christmas shopping for the fam... And of course Santa needed to pick up a few things for himself!

Bro-in-law gets the 4 Roses Select and my other sister’s boyfriend is getting the Woodford Double Oaked. Looking forward to getting a taste of each over the holidays!

And I finally found some Basil Caribbean Reserve Rye for under $50 and decided to give it a go.

Sis 1 is getting the bottle of Pinot and sis 2 is getting the 3 Tavern Sours... Santa is keeping the rest! Wild Leap Alpha Abstraction v10 hazy ipa, Lagunitas Willitized BBA stout, and Founders Espresso KBS BBA stout.

 

The store next door was all out of Booker's yesterday but they got in a few bottles of Little Book chapter . It was a little higher than I'm willing to pay, still kicking myself for not getting the Country Ham at Cotsco a few weeks ago for $100

 

I’d keep an eye out for the Country Ham for less. I picked it up at Costco for $57.99 not too long ago.

 

I live in VA and I can’t find much out of the ordinary......

 

Seems like all the really rare stuff goes in lotteries. On the ABC website, I found out that you can search your local store plus all the surrounding stores for whatever you’re looking for which made finding these easy. There were 16 more bottles of this available at various stores around the area (at least there was last night)

 

I’ll try the search feature again. Didn’t seem all that intuitive last time I looked. Thanks.

 

Wow! Total Wine in DE wanted $93 for Booker's Country Ham.

 

KBS espresso was amazing, I prefer it to KBS, has a toffee cream taste to it, no trace of the 12% present either

 

Snagged 2 Buffalo Trace store picks, an eagle rare store pick (375) and a handle of monkey shoulder to round out the collection

@CaptAmerica big bottles of monkey shoulder at WB liquors ... Next to Costco

 

Never seen the "smooth and rich" version om Monkey Shoulder. How is it?

 

Didn't know there was different ones. They are all batch 27 though. I like it a lot. Smooth and easy drinker. Subtle flavor profile

 

Xmas gifts

 

Look at the label on the big bottle vs the small ones. Never seen those before...

 

I’ve hit up 11 stores during this Christmas travel to Destin.
8 bottles. Think I’m done. I’ll post a pick when I get home. Don’t want to get the lecture from my Mom if she sees it all lol.

Pikesville Rye
Bulleitt Barrel Proof
Booker’s Country Ham $80
OGD BiB
BT Single Barrel picks x2
Four Roses SB Barrel Strength store select
And Elijah Craig store select.

 

Got just the 750 smooth and rich as well. Like the Leopold I posted above I haven't tried it yet

 

Nothing special at inlaws tonight, sipping on makers mark

 

Merry Christmas!

 

Now I'll have to compare! Never paid attention before

 

My thoughts exactly!
