Favorite Whiskey?

Thank you.
You’re right on all accounts. I guess I’ll see if the juice was worth the squeeze with this endeavor lol.

 

Thoughts? I’ve got an open B2 that I’m not a fan of

 

You’re correct, current year.

 

Good not great. I think this is batch 2 not sure. Wish it was a bit higher proof.

 

Do the deal! There’s no risk of losing money, a couple of us here could definitely get you pointed in the right direction

 

I appreciate that. I should have the bottle on hand Monday. Cheers

 

Any more of those Makers available?

 

Happy Fryeday. I heard somewhere that today is national bourbon day. I’ll have to have a follow up pour. Cheers

 

Unfortunately don't have the Rye but this will do for tonight. Fresh crack Friday on the small batch.

 

Probably. PM me if need to discuss.

 

Are they supposed to drop nationally? Let us know how it is when you crack it

 

I've read several reviews that the first few batches were dumpster fires. Due to the bad rep, my LBS had batch 5 on sale for $30. If I was blind tasting, I'd say it's close to Old Forester 1920. It's a bit rough with the proof, denoting a younger age. Heavy on the corn, with some lingering follow through that tastes a bit like rye, possibly a blend with a high rye bourbon. It's not terrible, I wouldn't dump it, but I also won't rush out to buy another. Closest I can call it, is maybe a high corn mash bill BiB, though it's 106 proof. I'll check on some of the later batches, because I do believe with more age and flavor profiling, it'll be a good deal. For now, the MSRP of $79.95 is off base. Honestly...she should have stayed with Old Forester, and worked out a share equity deal. Just look at 1924, based on reputation alone is batting above its weight. Same deal, 1924, compared to others is ......mehhhh, overpriced for what it is. It's good, but it's not award worthy.

 

S0 damned full of win!!!!!!!! I have a stupid sized collection, and I crack them all, not a single unopened bottle. I just keep going back to EH Taylor. It's really a damned good pour. Even entry level is excellent, really, it's great!

 

I've got a bottle of Buffalo Trace I bought a couple of months ago at Costco that I have been saving for an upcoming RV trip. Heading out to RV camps with 30 neighborhood characters. Ladies too.
I've been on a wife imposed diet for the last couple of weeks. Wife asked me today, are you going to drink on this trip? I responded "Hell Yes!" In the spirit of her efforts, I'll start with Michelob Ultra Light and work my way up to Buffalo Trace.

 

A small splash of bourbon to finish the night. Cheers.

 

If your spouse is ignoring your need for BT walk a few trailers down, and you will find Suzy BT deeply in love with u

 

Picked up a slam dunk yesterday, tbh because my wife has always wanted one! We visited MM a few years ago and dipped our own but the wax was only about 2” deep so we didn’t get much, this one is much deeper. Seems these have appeared a little more regularly lately for some reason.

 

Did alright at the drop in BC today.

 

Back home and sharing some of this Rye rocket fuel with my son.

 

Next up. This Double Oak is simply delicious!
