Favorite Whiskey?

Hell of a lineup!

 

And HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

 

So.. is it silly to keep the empty bottles to display? I'm not talking about the 348 empty JD bottles.. but things like 1792 Full Proof and George Dickel and Mitchers etc.. Is that a thing or am I just drunk?

 

I recycle all of mine save for ones I want to keep as decanters or plan to cut. I keep all of my corks though. May try to hold on to unicorn bottles, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

 

Another week in the books.

Haven’t tried this one before. A little floral. Reminds me of Willett’s Pot Still, but bearable. 100 proof so with a cube there’s no fire, just a touch on the finish. I like it, but don’t think it’ll be a regular in the rotation.

Paired with a Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Connecticut

 

Basil Hayden 10 year personal favorite. Quarter horse, favorite budget bourbon.

 

NorCal >>> SoCal, and it’s not even remotely close. I hated California until I spent time up north.

But yeah, everything great is on or near the coast with the most

Hoping to accompany some friends on a barrel selection for a store pick down there once this Covid nightmare is over.

 

Haven't had the C919 yet. Only the A119. If the C is better than the A as I've read, then I'm super excited!

 

Speaking of budget bourbons, i recommend Very Old Barton's Bottled in Bond. It's suprisingly good for the price.

 

I collect the hard to find ones, such as 1792 FP, E.H. Taylor Bottle In Bond and other hard to finds

 

Blended some Ardbeg 10 with some Knob Creek 12 while enjoying a smoke. I figure... W.T.F. not!?

 

First time to the store since covid, and first visit since new house

 

So I decided enough laying around all day getting fat and drunk! Gonna take up cycling again, like I used to do. Hydrate, people, hydrate!

 

I looked at this earlier, but just now noticed the bottle

 

Apparently it's national bourbon day...




Cousin picked this one. Solid choice!

 

Picked up a new bottle. Time to try it out.

 

I’ve had that bottle for awhile but haven’t opened it, how do you like it?

 

So far I am enjoying it. Just opened and took a few sips. oak and vanilla on the nose initial taste has a slight sweetness to it that turns into more of the charred oak flavor. Slight heat in the finish but in a good way that lets you know you are drinking but doesn’t destroy your mouth and throat.

I might have to finally pop it open. I should probably finish a few bottles I have open first
