Favorite Whiskey?

Did some local trading today

 

That's the best picture!

 

Now can I try for a surface tension pour?!

 

Ohhh man... I'd like to say yes.. but you outta try that first... you don't wanna waste a drop

 

It'll get cracked soon. Is the C119>A119?

 

Well you have C919 - From what I can tell it's released in January (hence the 1 then the year so A119) then B519 would be May of 2019 then C919 would be September 2019)

and then that changes to 20 so this year's will be A120 B520 and C920 ... and if I am wrong about this someone please correct me..

And to answer the question.. I never got the A119 but the B519 was good and the C919.. well it's the best IMO. I haven't had any 20s yet either.

 

A traveling coworkers helped me with my collection....only 5 more sizes to go in the Green Label!

 

Nice. Thanks! I'll have to compare at some point.

 

You spelled SOON wrong.. don't do it tomorrow night tho.. I will be at the FD for elections.

 

W.T.F. are y'all drinking?




Ok. This has always been on my radar but I'm finally able to check this one off. @DC 17_3 , the C919 will be next


Truth be told... I grabbed the wrong bottle and didn't notice till I took pic


Still! The show must go on.

Very surprisingly little burn on the nose for the proof. Not absent, just subdued. This is the second hottest bottle I now own just behind C919.

Some sweetness on the nose. Not straight sugar, but mellower.

Fairly viscous. That mellow sweetness continues. Almost like vanilla pudding. But you're eating it with an oak spoon. That taste is blended in.

Then the Burney

Brb... Need a refill...




The Dude abides.

Where were we? Oh yeah. Burney.

This second pour is surprisingly less! I know I'm more "acclimated" but it's a slower build. You can still feel the Burney, but not quite breath it.

It's hard to put this into words

Anyway decent finish to it. One of the more lingering whiskies I can remember.

Hang on... Need a third opinion...




Ok. The Burney is back. Still not as prominent as the first pour, but a stark reminder I have to be to work tomorrow still

I really want to compare this to some of my top choices, but not tonight. I do have sick days to burn though...

Glad that I finally got to try some of this. The small batch was underwhelming to me so I lowered my hope on the barrel proof. Probably helped so I didn't have the highest expectations. But, I still may have been impressed. Very solid pour.

Cheers y'all and time for a nap

 

Badassery at it's finest!!! Woohoo!!!!

 

@Misplaced Nebraskan hope you survived your ECBP experience... I've been at work for a couple of hours already !

 

Yup. Been clicking away at email for a bit now. No worse for wear

 

HAHA ! Glad to hear it!

 

Just cracked open a bottle of Signal Hill. I am very impressed. Gonna be one of my go to from now on

Basil Hayden Dark Rye. 10/10

 

Killed a handful of these over the past few years but somehow my shelf has been empty of 1920 for way too long. Now... what the hell am I gonna pour tonight!?

 

Finally found the new cork..paid 80.00 not proud but I've paid more..its my favorite weller.
