Favorite Whiskey?

I like to revisit some favorites mid bottle to see if my palate has perceived it differently…it has. At first it was darned good, now its amazing! The first ever Alabama front yard bourbon to bring in straight up Kahlua taste, some barrel char afterwards, followed by vanilla creme caramels (like when you were a kid) finishing with maple brown sugar and some light kahlua creme, OMG!!!!! Wow, and I mean WOW!!!!!!!!

 

I’ve been comparing cigar blends this week. So far, my favorite is Buzzards Roost cigar blend. It used to be Magnus Cigar blend, now I’ve changed up to Magnus Murray Hill Club due to it’s MGP fruitiness on steroids. It will defeat some nasty cigar mouth with grape koolaid, followed by cherry, and maybe some citrus mixed with luxardo. Some folks are mixed on this, I love it.

 

Saw one recently for 400, best price I’ve seen in a while.

 

Just got a call from my local store...I got a bottle in the rare whiskey lottery. My bottle: 10-year Pappy.

Kinda cool, never had it. Never been one to go nuts over Pappy, but I'm stoked to try it out.

 

assuming you’re getting it at retail….you will be very happy with it. It’s a great bottle

 

Yeah, retail...or close enough to it. Pretty excited for it. I've had Pappy 15, so I'm curious to see how this stacks up.

 

That Pappy is no good. I'll send you a nice fresh bottle of Fireball and we can trade.

 

My goodness, what a generous offer! Throw in a bottle of Boone's Farm and we may have a deal.

 

In Flagstaff, AZ visiting my youngest son. Here is what my first stop has if anyone is interested in anything. Prices are high, but a good selection.

 

Do not buy anything from that shop. I could get you any of those for less, even before tax

 

Left with a RedBull for my son. The CYPB was $550 and came with like 4 other bottles in a bundle.

 

The bundle was 550 or just the CYPB bottle was 550? What other bottles?

 

The bundle. If came with 4 other bottles. I don’t remember exactly what all. The only interesting ones that I remember was a EC Barrel Proof store pic and a Sazerac.

 

I used to live in FLG and would love to move back, but those prices might be enough to keep me away...

 

Booooo

 

Done deal...blackberry. Remember, these old bourbons, they get moldy. You don't want that.

 

Saving me from moldy whiskey...you're, like, a really good dude. ;-)

 

I always remember the phrase "Bourbon ages in a cask, not in a bottle"

 

Bottle kill...
