What Bourbon/Scotch are you drinking?

I’m the same. At the rate I’m going through the liquid, and only keeping one or two open at a time, I’m be drinking bourbon when the earth is consumed by a dying sun. The collection is great for a tasting party though.

That’s excellent! A friend of mine got assigned to a role in Sweden recently, and I fired off a 10-year Old Rip before his departure.

It’s crazy how good it is. It had been a long time since I opened one, so I guess it’s easy to forget. If I could still get it at $60, I’d never buy anything else.

Drinking Little Book as I send this-Wow!!! Awesome

 

Which Little Book Chapter are you enjoying?

 

Unsure- They have it at the bar/restaurant I was at after golf- they were out of Blantons and saw Little Book s8 tried it- Will be back tomorrow to watch Broncos lose so will find out the chapter- Cheers

 

I just finished off my Chapter 4 not too long ago. Was a really great bottle.

 

Looks like Chapter 6 “To the Finish.” I need to run one down myself. I’d be interested in feedback.

Tonight is a rye tasting night after dinner. These two:

The Mammoth Rye is unique, but I haven’t done it head-to-head with my $60 benchmark.

Hows the Old Van Winkle??? I'm sure amazing.

 

i dont drink it straight, so is using an $80-100 bottle a waste of money for mixed drinks?

 

That's an individual thing tbh.

I could make Old Fashioneds from Jim Beam, Weller 107, and Bardstown Discovery and I *BET* they'd taste quite different.

 

Looking at bottle- Do not see a Chapter listed or stamped- Just "2021 Release" on lower right of label ​

 

Spookwagon Sunday.

Just picked this up by Dixon Dedman - 2XO Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

That is EXACTLY how I make mine.

 

I caught covid again when i went to visit dad last week (he popped positive the last day i saw him) and have been absolutely ravaged the last couple days. (It went quickly though, i'm all but fine today my voice is still a little low/gravelly but otherwise good to go) These days I'm a sucker for ginger bitters, but angostura sure seem to help with sinus congestion. Elijah, angostura, dash of honey.

 

Well I'll be.....was sifting through the cupboard and way in the back, I was proven wrong! I did not in fact finish off my little book Chapter 4. I have about 2/3 of it remaining in fact.

I suppose that means the collection is just about where it should be, not so many bottles i'm jumping over them to get to the kitchen, but just enough I forget that I still have a really good one in there somewhere.

 

just picked these up at costco.
four roses is very smooth.

So here's something unexpected I found today.

It's a Willett single barrel 8yr bourbon, not to be confused worth the wheated 8yr bourbon in the black bottle that also has the purple top.

I'm not even sure how this got to my liquor store, there's not even a bar code on it. store owner said that these were only supposed to be sold on site at the distillery but I'm not sure how accurate that is. It also says 41/171 on the back label, I can't imagine that this is one of only 171 bottles in existence, it has to mean something else.

Any thoughts or info on it?
