Favorite Whiskey?

Anti social distancing.

 

Michter’s American was the first one we got and it was an instant winner. We’ve since expanded our Michter’s line up and looking to even more

 

same here. I like the dark rye so much I haven't grabbed the others yet. The dark rye does get a little sweet for me after a few pours though.

 

Finally feeling good after being varying levels of sick all week. I was in bed all day Tuesday. No Covid symptoms, so it isn't that, but still. Yuck.

Lone Elm single barrel straight wheat whiskey. Aged 5 years in new 15 gallon oak barrels. Oh my goodness. This stuff is darrrrrkkkkk and has all the wood goodness. This was selected by the Whiskey Crusaders. Hot damn. What a welcome back to good health.

We're on a Google Hangouts with my neighbors and my folks. Drinking and singing together! Wild time to be alive.

 

Where you get that

 

My buddy from Whiskey Crusaders brought it by. Front porch delivery.

Want one? Only 40 bottles made. I'll try to get you one if you want.

 

Yes sir

 

Good Good almighty, that sounds/looks GOOD! Only 40 made? Glad you're back on the up-and-up. My allergies kicked my ass last week.

 

Keeping an Irish theme tonight.

 

Where did you get that?! I've had the 10 year and really liked it. There was a slight yeasty/bread note in the finish I wasn't sure about at first but it grew on me.

 

I'll see what I can do!

They do small barrel stuff plenty, so there are other barrels with ~40 bottle yields, but this one is great.

Whiskey Crusaders got one barrel pick that yielded - literally - half a bottle!

Appreciate it, man. Glad to be back.

Cheers to you!

 

I got that at Spec's sometime in late 2018/early 2019. I can set a sample aside for ya if you'd like.

Yeah, that 10 year is nice! One of my favorite non-peated Scotches.

 

Cheers Bryan! Half a bottle... that's nuts! I think I remember them saying something about that on one of their streams. Hopefully Lone Elm makes it out to Houston before too long. Of course that's just what I need... more bottles to chase!

 

I really like that Black Barrel. Had it at a bar once and it was way better than I expected.

 

Yes it’s quite yummy. They came out with it after they stopped selling the 12year. The 12 year was my favorite Irish whiskey.

 

I never had the pleasure of trying a 12 year. I'll keep an eye out for one on secondary.

 

It’s a pricey bitch now. I found some in vegas for like $250. They stopped selling it in like 2016 if I remember right.

 

Shit this night is moving quick. Wife’s pick.

 

How much?

 

$65 + TTL
