Favorite Whiskey?

If you’re a Netflix fan, The Heist has a couple episodes on Pappygate called “The Bourbon King”. I thought it was interesting.

 

Did a thing with dead bottles. Not my ideas, I googled.

 

fRyeday

 

will do

 

Happy FRYEday! Cheers.

 

Damn if this bottle isn’t a banger! First crack and if it gets better as most do after that first pour…I shoulda bought a few of these!

 

Tonight’s first sip.

 

Same pour tonight!!! I switched over to Filibuster BiB, which is really, oddly unique. Went back to the Screaming Titan, excellent!

 

never tried it, what's your thoughts?

 

Tonight’s serving

 

I'm no expert, it's a smooth sipper but no real robust flavors, seems watered down. You would think it would be a higher proof than 94. For the money I paid it's a win, not really a bottle you would impress family or friends with. Retail like $55, you could buy something much better. I won't waste it but probably wouldn't buy it again.

 

The small store I purchase bourbon from has some Yellowstone and Redwood Empire bourbon. I see pretty good reviews of both, I think they're both 90 something proof. Both under 40 retail, any thoughts?

 

I like the Redwood Empire offerings. Very good flavor profiles. I like the cask strengths, which bring up the price. So far, Screaming Titan is my favorite. A good smooth wheater

 

In Reno, NV for work this weekend and found a place called Death and Taxes that has a banger of a selection of bourbon, whiskey and tequilla. So many unicorns to choose from! And even a bottle shop for some unicorns, many that are barrel picks!




I went with an EH Taylor flight - two single barrels from 2024 and 2022 and then the small batch. Loved the 2024 - so good!!! Asked how much for a bottle and if I wasn’t worried about checking with my baggage, I would have bought one!





So if ever in Reno…highly suggest visiting this spot! Small little spot with some knowledgeable guys working the bar top.

 

Sunday pours. Dettling Cask Strength, and JD Single Barrel Rye

 

I would like to find some of the Dettling. I watched a video on them a while ago and now want a bottle for my cabinet. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate any of their offerings yet.

I flew home from Austin with 5 bottles in my checked bag and from Dublin Ireland with 2 bottles. No issues.

 

Happy Sunday. Cheers.

 

Went a little crazy. Got into tequila and my favorite is definitely the regular blanco.

 

G4 is good!!!! As is Fortaleza, but G4 is easier to pick up. And some good bourbon too!
