Favorite Whiskey?

I am a huge fan of John j and bowman brothers. Part of why I got this one. Unfortunately have a cold right now so can’t give any opinions of the new one.

 

Good to know! I was just sitting down to do some research on what to use to start. Might try vodka in one and bourbon in the other. I'm defiantly no bourbon snob so tasting notes usually go over my head. I either like it or I don't.

 

Feeling your pain man.

Cheers

 

Got a random Total wine email that they had a bottle with my name on it. Looks like they had about 15 cases of blantons they were selling to grand reserve members.

 

that’s crazy

 

Got this one for Christmas, best way I can describe it is a sweet Blade & Bow. Enjoying it.

 

Good day in DE today. Picked up store pick Elijah Criag and Maker's Mark plus a Larceny Barrel Proof. Met up with some friends for dinner and was gifted a Bulleit 10 year.

Out of curiosity... how many bottles does everyone have open at a time? I'm building up a collection and wanting to try every bottle I bring home but starting to feel guilty having 1-2 pours out of each and then opening a new one.

Also, seems I wasn't the only taco driver booze shopping

 

Small purchase today...nothing special but they are making it all themselves and being transparent, which I like to see.

It's young at 37mo age.

Will report back when I eventually crack it.

 

Good bad or otherwise, I have opened pretty much every bottle I own. The only exception are the ones I have more than one or had before. Although most of mine are barrel picks and not to be found again, none are over $120 a bottle or unicorns either. That would make for a different story.

 

I usually have 3 or 4 open at a time - some variety of scotch, Japanese and/or bourbon. I'm one of those guys who find the taste changes over time, some for the good and some bad.

 

New bottle. His and hers for the Mrs. Birthday

 

I've had 40-something opened bottles at the beginning of the year.
Been working hard to knock that number down a bit, currently at around 25 opened bottles - all are american whiskey, whether it be bourbon, wheated, sour mash, rye, etc.
25 bottles gives me more than enough to choose from, and gives me the ability to compare as well

 

Last one before heading out for bday dinner

 

Saw two unicorns in Richmond KY today if anyone in the area is interested. Liquor World had an 8 year old Willet for $400 and Liquor Mart had a store select Weller Full Proof (blue label) for $300. Both places just had one bottle.

 

Anyone have an extra Michter’s toasted barrel bourbon or barrel strength bourbon laying around? Getting close to having everything 10 years and younger

 

Is there a barrel strength bourbon?

 

There is. Didn't come out this year but I think it's schedule to next year

 

With seductive lighting…
