Favorite Whiskey?

Scored a couple bottles @ msrp on my birthday Thursday

 

That is so full of win!!!!

 

1. Venebroek Velvet Rum $250. Unsweetened single barrel rum aged in Scotch barrels. 9 barrels available. Better than Eagle Rare, Blanton's, Stagg, etc.

2. Richland Port cask exchange rum $75, Richland Terrapin Imperial Milk Stout cask exchange $75, Buffalo Trace $26.

 

JD kinda day.

 

Wow, highest I’ve seen!

 

That's a hot one there. 69%. Nice.

 

Been trying to figure out if there are hazmat ones out there, haven’t found anything online. There have to be. I want one!

 

todays pickups

Keeping one - the second one is up for grabs if anyone is interested.

Or id trade both for a Single Barrell.

 

What’d you pay?

 

So the Blanton’s was my TW April release pick….ha! Another CYPB opportunity lost! oh well.

And picked up a MM46 CS. Excited to try it. Been years but it used to be one of my main bottles (just the regular 46 I think). Perhaps this weekend I’ll crack it.

 

So is that the same as this?

 

i think they recently redid the label, same juice. someone else may chime in

 

MM website only has a French Oaked MM46 - they have a different cask strength, but not 46. So maybe it is just a rebranding?

Very tempting, I’m in Fl and I think shipping would not make it worth it.

 

Happy Birthday!!!

 

Savoring this half an ounce at a time.

 

My first time trying Heaven’s Door. I like it but it has a flavor, tone, funk something to it I can’t pin down. Kind of like wild Turkey has a distinct funk. Cheers

 

I've only seen one store pick higher, it was 141. Unfortunately I missed out. I think I have one that's around 138ish.

 

This was highly recommended by some friends. They both said it was very close to WA 107. I do see some similarities, and this is pretty good, but Antique beats it in my opinion.

 

The only thing those two bottles really have in common is the proof. The double wheat is like 70+ percent wheat while A107 is about 16. I’ve had a few high or 100% wheats and they tend to have flavor profiles like sweet caramel, Cracker Jack, cinnamon bun, graham cracker, very sweet things like that. The caramel on the 107 is more subdued, and it has much more oak, vanilla, and red stone fruit or even raspberry flavors.
