Unbelievably good.

Gonna order some Koval soon.
Did the Bourbon trail with the wife like 3 years back, alot of fun if anyone can make it work.

Gives a good summary of Bourbon, short history/backstory and useful when you can't find anything at the local ****-store of a liquor store.
Looking to make a copper still this winter, use some grain off the farm for some mash, see if I can make anything at all palatable, save some green.

Bourbon and Rye drinker checking in. The irony is that I was diagnosed with both Celiac's Disease and Crohn's Disease, so now a single drink of bourbon/rye makes me feel like complete chit the following day. I only drink it for special occasions when I know I can stay home and wallow in misery the next day.
Some of my favorites and the purpose they serve:
George Dickel - a night in to drink quickly, easily, and steadily while playing guitar
Wellers - sharing a drink with my dad (it's the first bourbon we drank together)
Jim Beam Devils Cut - surprisingly good, don't let the label deceive you
Bookers - when you want to get drunk quickly with your boys
Buffalo Trace/Knobs Creek/Bulleit/Eagle Rare - Solid drinks on there own, good for an old fashioned
Michters Rye, Whistle Pig Rye - both are delicious, but Whistle Pig is only for payday (or on someone else's dime)

Any new additions to your collections?
I picked this up yesterday for $30. I see on a FB group some people in other states get it for as low as $22
This has a 96 rating on distiller.com. Had some last night, completely amazed how it's so cheap. Perfectly smooth and delicious.

Between Woodford and Eagle Rare, I actually prefer Eagle Rare.
Sloop: I think Evan Williams in LA is around $45-50? Might be lying and have to check. I know my bottle of Eagle Rare costs almost as much as Woodford Reserve.

I don't know how you can beat a 20 dollar four roses bottle, GOAT
love some good whiskey but the better ones are above 30 dollars after tax (nyc) ...... idk bout you guys but I go through 1 bottle in 1 weekend. I would be broke if I indulged on fancier stuff :/

Been drinking the Jim Beam Single Barrel - they had one bottle left so I got it 50% off, nice.
Not worth what they ask for a full price bottle, but it's tasty enough.

Made this failed thread last night..
Had the annual whiskey release here and lined up with my buddy in the morning to grab some stuff. Didn’t get anything rare or too pricey but thought I’d share what I grabbed. Also did some tasting so I will share that.
(Pics to come)
Highland park Valkyrie— bought and they had a tasting. Unreal and deserving of the jim Murray 99 points

Glen grant 12- A very smooth, described by some at the tasting as a great scotch for women or newbs

Red breast lustau- I love red breast so I grabbed this. Smooth Irish whiskey

Caribou crossing-liked the bottle, haven’t tried

Oops
The caribou crossing has this bottle stopper

EH Taylor- small batch

Old Pulteney 21 (split with friend for a celebratory day).very excited to try. Love their 12

Bottega bacur gin-don’t drink gin, it was cheap and I like bottle. Might give as gift

Tried an Italian today. Wasn’t for me. I’ll look up what it was (edit: one of these, I know it was lighter coloured. I don’t really care what it was, won’t do again even though it was good quality. Tasted like a wine and whiskey blend)

Unlike the more subtle Sherry cask finish of an Irish whiskey this took too much flavour from it
