Favorite Whiskey?

keeping the holiday weekend going

 

Definitely not impressed by Hancocks reserve

 

Blanton's or E.H. Taylor bottled in bond when I’m in a Bourbon mood.

just something smooth about that high wheat mash bill

 

Excellent!!!! I liked the first pour of this bottle tonight! It’s pricey, but it’s a collectors piece and nice to have on the shelf!

I also saw the Hancocks today at TW - but have passed on it a few times.

 

And a few bottle kills tonight. Have been trying to make a little room for some bottles to in the cabinets rather than on top…teh collection has started to grow a bit on top and needed to clear a few things.

The Frey Ranch not sure I’d buy again. Just didn’t care for the flavor profile. Not a bad bottle, but just not my type. The SmokeWagon was decent. I have another kind of SW, but I believe it’s the Younger Uncut bottle that I’ve yet to open.

 

Keeping it going

 

how is it?

 

Couple pickups

 

Honestly, it’s good but I’ve had enough to not really appreciate it yet

 

When you accidentally forget your bottle of rye in your Tacoma… And it's 28° out… It ends up perfectly chilled. Yes at this proof you've got to add a little water.

 

Sometimes you gotta get your Blant On.

 

Had a decent haul from the Black Friday event at my local ABC. I was surprised when my number got called so early, about #15-20 out of about 100 or so.

Went with Weller A107 from the allocated table. Will probably be a few weeks before it gets cracked open.

Next was a choice of ECBP-C923, EC Toasted or 1792 Sweet Wheat. Went with the 1792 SW since it’s new to me and I already have those EC’s.

Next was Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace, limit one of both. Snagged one of each, because it was available of course!

While in checkout line, a guy was saying that blending 50/50 Buffalo Trace and Benchmark Full Proof was a nice combo. So got a bottle of that as well to try. Would definitely recommend trying that blend if you have them.



Cheers!!!

 

Both of those are about 90% corn and 10% rye. No wheat. Weller is the wheated stuff.

 

He’ll of a pour to finish off the bird

 

Another casualty….

 

We have the same sink drain.

 

Idk what to do with that info.

Why not?

 

Wow, someone made a lot of money in sink drains I suppose
