    My personal experience with new riffs is likited to a couple Jack Rose picks (and let's be honest they don't even have mediocre ones, let alone bad ones) but it's a great way to roll!!

    We have a big reorg coming and I have a lot more people on my team, some new some have been with me for a while. I've seen the names and am anticipating at least one bottle posssssssibly going dry by the end of the weekend :p

    My Capt is coming over for a relaxing dram on the deck at the conclusion of events on Sunday....bonding and mentoring the young buck. :D

    No photo, but tonight's porterhouse was accompanied by an Old Fashioned based off McKenna 10yr Bonded.

    Nightcap still undecided but leaning toward MWND as I have a fresh one on the way (a very generous and wonderful friend with an absolutely ridiculous life story who isn't even 40 yet has a connection at the distillery) and one more-or-less full bottle and another gettin close to the recycling bin.

    On a side note, I've started up a new insta that is 100% total satire, meant as a bit of a bear-poke toward the handful of "whiskey influencers" who fancy themselves experts and just end up doing a direct copy-paste of "tasting notes" from distillers or other well-known review sites, and at least one of whom *NEVER* posts a photo of actually tasting said libation (many of my inner circle suspect she has no idea what whiskey ACTUALLY tastes like). but if you want a good chuckle, I'll absolutely try to provide it at "stupidtastingnotes" (the name kinda puts out there that it's.....it's not even remotely serious).

    anywho.

    hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. hey it's Monza!!

    The blantons will become a lamp as it's a significant date to someone very important to me. The McKenna was one of the best $35 bottles I've ever had. Though I know they can be hit or miss being a single barrel expression.

    Picked up one of these at my local Costco. Not sure if it’s a “good deal” or just a “fair deal.” What is typical retail?

    If anyone is in the DC area and would like to try some Willett picks, Jack Rose is doin a thing on the 22nd. Yes, I know, I'm as excited as the next guy driving into DC at 4pm on a weekday :p

    But.....purple tops tho. ;)

    Will definitely be attending. If you can figure out which one I am, come say hi. :D

    New to me, haven’t done it. If I’m really thirsty at drink time I’ll have a big glass of water so I don’t guzzle the good stuff.

    I am not a bourbon person. I reached out to the board for help and suggestions for a gift to give to a buddy of mine and ended up with Calumet as well. Looks like I made a good choice.

    if making old fashions, etc, does it matter to use a high end bourbon?

    Depends on what youre trying to achieve. I've thoroughly enjoyed more than a handful of Old Fashioneds made from 20-dollar bottles of Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Elijah Craig.

    A higher end will definitely elevate things to an extent but personally i'm a big fan of the "ordinary" ones.

    Got the newly released KC 18.

    Been drinking the WR batch proof. A little more fire than I prefer but this whiskey carries it well and makes for a fantastic pour.
