Favorite Whiskey?

I like it, definitely got a little bite to it. I picked up a bottle from the distillery when I was in Louisville because my boss spoke highly of it. Not sure I’ll buy another one for the price point. Noah’s Mill is comparable high test bourbon for about $30 less.

 

I have read that some of the dominant flavors are tobacco and butterscotch. True?

 

What's everyone drinking tonight? Michter's SB for me. Been a long week. Working late again, bourbon getting me through haha.

EDIT: Just saw your posts. Damn TW didn't refresh from earlier.

 

The wife and I made cocktails tonight with Sazerac Rye.

 

Curious on this as well. It's on my "to try" list. Passed on it last time I saw it in the store.

 

Finish is sweet, can’t identify the tobacco but Im still working on getting better at identifying flavor notes.

 

I’m a big fan of this bourbon. I recommend it.

 

Started with Jeffersons very small batch, working late with EW BIB.



Goddamn I need to clean my desk.

 

This stuff ain’t special in Texas

 

30 minute drive east and you can try all kinds of stuff

 

Delicious! First ever pour.

 

Now ferrying 5 bottles of Blan'uns back to NC for my homies. 13 hr drive. Oof. Sip some for me tonight guys.

 

You’re doing the lord’s work brother!

 

Walk into my local intending on buying 4R SiB. Even though I might find it too sweet. As I walk in, the proprietor gets excited and says "I've got some new bourbons!". Penelope 80 proof, Penelope barrel strength, Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare! I got really excited when I saw the Eagle Rare. But at $79 I decided to pass. I really like it but it's not worth that to me. He said he keeps ordering it but only gets 1 bottle rarely. Buffalo Trace was $49. Again a little pricey but I don't care for it anyways. I took a chance on the Penelope barrel strength at $62. It seems to be a high corn percentage which I'm a fan of. Haven't cracked it open yet. It's only the 2nd time I've seen Eagle Rare in the store, but I don't really go hunting for it.

 

Fighting off COVID - completed the Paxlovid antiviral this morning - moved on to the Willett Rye treatment plan this evening. Smooth.

 

That Tincup has been growing on me lately. It’s smooth and has a nice taste.

 

Picked this up as a novelty a couple of years ago. Thinking of stashing this for the next 27 years

 

I enjoyed this so much that I went back and bought two more bottles. Will be interested to hear what you think.

 

Dont tempt me with a good time

 

I like it! Initial thought is it's a little hot but it's 57%. Added a little water and the flavor really comes thru. Reminds me of EW BiB but a fuller flavor. EW $17, this is $62... So..... But it's early in the bottle. I like that they're up front about it being an MGP product.
