Favorite Whiskey?

At the most unlikely of all ABC stores. Probably the most exciting bottles they’ve had in five years.

 

congrats!! Girls are the best!

 

oof, secondary has dropped to like 180 on most of the batches.

 

180 shipped!!

 

That's still a wee bit pricey for my wallet. I haven't seen a bottle for less than $249 in person.

Currently, 291.

 

That's interesting, how does the Aspen affect the flavor?

 

My other go to is wild turkey or buffalo trace, I'd put it in between those two of smell and task. The Aspen adds a unique smoothness, maybe vanilla like taste.

They're a couple other CO whiskies that also use Aspen, hogback has one, a bit cheaper, but not as aromatic or flavorful.

 

It’s a bit different than batch 22. A little more traditional whiskey flavor, than the usual sweet grape notes from Buffalo Trace products. It’s sweet mid palate, but has the proof burn up front and on the back end. I had a second pour with a cube and liked it better than neat.

 

First pour in a week. GO UCONN.

 

Watching the current game, UConn-Purdue is gonna be a blowout. If NC State made their layups they’d be winning.

 

State had a good run.

 

A bit heavy handed tonight.

 

Tonight….Buffalo Trace vs. Heaven Hill in the battle of sweet finishes

 

No batch numbers, no allocations, just a dang good pour and at a fantastic price. Cheers

 

huge congrats on that!!! I’m 2.5 years in and even today found myself “nap trapped”. Sitting on my lap eating lunch watching cartoons and knocked out!

 

yea I’m still not paying it either but I just get angry with shops charging more than secondary value, takes 10 seconds to look up bottle values. It’s just greed. Sometimes you are willing to spend more than what it’s worth but damn.

if you’re okay with spending the average price, and your shop won’t budge, just go get it on secondary market

 

In the spirit of March Madness, I found a slam dunk
