Favorite Whiskey?

Picked up some things. Batch A123, first of the year. 125.8 proof.

 

Good looking bottles.

 

Curious how this year's barrel proofs will be, I feel like Larceny has continued to improve each year

 

Regular 92 proof Larceny I find to be average, but the barrel proof has always impressed me.

 

Drinking blantons tonight

 

Hotel bottle kill. Way cheaper than night caps at the bar for a week. Makes you the popular guy at the conference

 

Someone else had the same idea. Bottle kill number 2

 

Passed on a knob creek15 for 150.00..they also had BtAC Handy for 500.00

 

Bottle crack. Giving this a shot since I’ve been hearing so much about it. Picked up a UCUF as well to try, that’ll be next. I typically don’t gravitate towards the high ryes, but tasty bottles like the 4R SiB keep me intrigued. Definitely not disappointed with this Smoke Wagon bottle after the first few sips. Spice is teetering on the edge of being just slightly overwhelming for me, but I’ll let it sit and revisit later.

 

I appear unable to stop acquiring Maker's.

 

drinking this right now and it’s been my target to kill all week, I remember liking it more. Not bad just needs to be cleaned out of the cabinet

 

The 46 Cask Strength is such a good bottle

 

I have a 750 of it unopened, but the little sampler there has another 375 along with a store pick 375 - which is a different pick from the 750 store pick in the picture with it.

 

Anyone know anything about this guy

 

Not a thing.

Label say anything about distillation and bottling locations or responsible businesses?

I found this at one of our local PA Wine and Spirits stores - hadn't seen it before. Lynn and I tried it last evening. Smooth. I haven't found a BH version that I haven't liked.

 

Very interesting. I'm betting Dickel since 15-18 year labels are common for them already, and they are Diageo owned - Diageo being huge easily has extra inventory to sell cheap to rectifiers who then can mark up for absurd percentages based on age statement.

Let us know how it is!

 

Have found a new honey hole but it’s out of my way, only my third time going and they’ve had BT or Weller SR both times for $25-30. Picked up this Rebel as well, they had a sample bottle and let me try it first! Barrel was chosen by the Augusta Bourbon Society and the store…was pretty tasty (sweet, cherryish flavor and drinks like 100 proof) so for $50 I picked one up. Will be cool to share with friends at least

 

Care to share thru PM? I go through Augusta several times a year.
