Favorite Whiskey?

I’m still enjoying this bottle. Lots of burn, but lots of flavor. Cheers.

 

I’ve yet to have a Penelope I didn’t enjoy. Really looking forward to trying some of their finished bottles.

 

Yeah I was worried since I paid a large amount for a pour in NYC to finally try some and was disappointed. Cracked this one tonight and dang I am absolutely impressed for the price.

After I cracked it my wife surprised me with a set of these as an early birthday present.




each glass is a different section of the Teton range.

 

Badass glasses! My favorite mountains.

 

love that one esp for the price, wish i could get it regularly

 

Dang, wish mine looked like that.

 

Those glasses are pretty cool!

 

Went out in the south side of Chicago in search of JD 10/12 today. Missed the 10 by one person in a store, passed on both at 199/299 at one place and negotiated down to 129 for the 10 year at one place but wanted me to open it there to prove I wasn't a reseller. Since I've got to fly it back to PA that was a no-go.

The search continues. In the meantime I did meet some super nice people and got to know the area a bit.

 

@Hook78 can tell the story better than me, but the short of it is he ran across a store, I think in Maryland, while traveling that had a LOT of excellent stuff and the owner was willing to let it go at reasonable prices because it was clear it was being purchased for consumption.

Perhaps I'm a bit too much of a ruthless capitalist, but I find these moments odd. Economics is just numbers in my world.

 

We will get them for retail in a couple weeks, patience my friend

I do have the 10 year batch 1 open if you are itching that bad

 

cheers! I would fill my whole cabinet with these if I could

 

Yeah I did see it listed as coming soon. That's why I was ok passing it up, I also travel so much it's entirely possible I miss the PA drop.

Hmm I am starting to smell a bourbon night in our future with JD 10 and a couple 1792 Full Proofs.

 

Your bonsai is looking a little thirsty, but I would feed it a little water though and save the whiskey for yourself haha

 

hey you guys with the Russell Reserve:

was that the 10 year stuff ? or something older?

 

I’ll join.

 

single barrel selects, age varies by barrel

 

Up until relatively recently I didn't know the Grand Tetons name are French in origin...

 

Spotted Jack Daniels Single Barrel at the grocery store the other day. Going to have to try that next, one step up from Gentleman Jack I was told?

 

Just tried some this evening at a whiskey bar. I didn't care for it much. Just tasted like a slightly better JD, nothing special. I see it all the time at my local stores so wanted to try it before buying. Glad I did.

 

Yep, breast mountains ever!
