Favorite Whiskey?

Usually about what I see them going for. Hoping I can grab some when they release for closer to MSRP next time they drop. Plus maybe a backup haha

 

Those honestly aren’t terrible prices.

 

I love what you’re doing Matt. I think Michter’s has one of the great stories in bourbon, and honestly good history is half the reason I choose a bottle sometimes.

This is a fun read. If someone wrote a book about Michter’s going all the way back to the origins, I’d be the first one to buy it.

I just passed up a toasted barrel in DE @ $299

 

I’d pass that up too haha

 

In other news, I bought a Weller Single Barrel…
Paid more than I’d like to have though

 

That’s what I was thinking, probably old auctions tho, toasted going for 300 now a days

 

sometimes you gotta just do it

 

Nope. This is the age of internet. Finding one is a matter of 30 seconds.

The *cost* on the other hand...

 

Credit card go BRT...

 

A fun random find today on the way home.

Need to do some research, the way this is labeled implies a county or state pick of some kind…

 

Are they all picks, or is there a generic? Mine says "Little Family Selection" on it. Came from a random store in NJ with nothing about "little" in the name

 

In reading OL’s literature online, it sounds like they’re all picks. Which is interesting.

 

I have one that’s a pick from a local bar/restaurant.


Also my friend brought me back one of these from Tennessee.

 

The orange is quite pleasant not grossly artificial. Makes a good warm day easy drink. Hard to tell it’s whiskey but as a easy drinking mixer fits the bill. On its own it’s a bit sweet but cut with some bubbly water good to go.

 

fRYEday bottle kills

 

Horsey down

 

Last one for me tonight

 

You always seem to find a whiskey I’ve not heard of. How’s this one?

I’m going with this tonight.

 

Killed the Presidente 15 year rum I got muled in from Dominican Republic. Cracked open a virgin EHT. As one leaves this world another enters; balance. Also… 2nd night straight of TBT (Tiny Belligerent Tyrant) sleeping in his crib. That’s a damn fine reason to have a drink I’d say!

edit to add: note the ballpoint pen hand written bottle # on the rum.
