Favorite Whiskey?

how did CNF hold up against the others?

snuck in some G4?

 

Nice line up. What time should I stop by?

I’ll never see half those bottles here.

 

Here you go fellas. If you are interested in a chance at some George T Stagg, Stagg, and the BTAC line up. I’m not affiliated with them other than spending my $5 a week.

I wonder how many tickets are sold a week

 

I’m really starting to like the CNF, makes me want to keep and open mine but we have similar thoughts on high price SRP bottles

I didn’t touch the G4. But we had an 8 day 4 roses that had some heavy tequila notes that someone tried this against

If you’re ever in the area, happy to have a pour or three

 

Still Austin today.



Was going to buy a bottle of the Red Corn and the Nancy’s Pick Cask Strength Musician.



But I will have to come back later in the week due to the crazy Texas liquor laws that I was not aware of.

 

Spent the 4th + a few in VA.

The local ABC didn't have much of interest, but there was this. Craft local 10y barrel proof SiB wheater...? Alright, why not. It is not designated bourbon, which makes me wonder which part of the process does not qualify.

 

<51% corn

 

Now having a pour and pulling some other stuff out to help figure this out.

Awesome mouthfeel. Heavy ethanol on nose and palate and feels hot initially but settles down with some time to breathe.

Either that or uncharred barrels.

I'm inclined to think you're right though - having a pour it has some heavy fruit notes I associate with Irish whiskey, especially apple and pear.

This leads me to believe malted barley plays a very heavy handed role here and this thing could very well be under 51% corn.

 

WTF???? Was in VA today the ABC’s were open

 

Just in Warrenton VAs today. Nothing special, but SO MANY local distillery temptations

 

Every state has different liquor laws. Before 2004, VA ABCs were closed on Sundays. Only recently have all the stores phased in to being open Sundays.

There are at least six states that prohibit sales of bottled spirits on Sundays.

 

VA ABC pick today, Woodford double oaked “hotel size”, and a gift for a friend….Pappy-Stellum Rye custom special

 

Please tell me you did not blend a Family Reserve Rye with a $50 bottle of Stellum?

 

The last round was 2,000 or so.

 

Nope, just a fine bottle of relabeled Stellum 118

 

turns out that this local distiller not only won the world whiskey award, but Fred Minnick gives it a big thumbs up gotta love a local find

 

Thanks for the tip on District Liquor in Washington DC!
