Bourbon

This one's for @Reburn - had some Angel's Envy Finished Rye this past weekend, which was really good. I've been missing the vanilla in some lesser ryes. But the real star was Whistlepig 12 Year Old World Rye...damn!

Also had some Knob Creek Smoked Maple, which was interesting. Really sweet, basically was like drinking a 90 proof cocktail.

Picked up some Russel's Single Barrel today to try based on recommendations in this thread, and a Knob Creek Bourbon x Rye Blend. Shop had a bottle of Widow Jane 13 on the shelf that was hard to walk away from, but it was also marked up pretty high.
 
I'm kinda of a canadiien whiskey guy. Kinda had to learn to slow a bit cuss I got in lots of fights. Black velvet, RnR. Cut the bottom of the plastic pints n put a stick threw em for a bull moose raking sounds or dip in water n pour out for cow pissing sounds. Makeshift megaphone. N fun making the caller

Bourbon fairy was at my house yesterday. Whistle pig is always a good Rye. I had some 15 yr cask strength single barrel that was amazing. I like the 6 RYE, 10 and 15 the best.

I poped that starlight blueberry. Its amazing. Starlight is really doing good things as a whole.

My loyalties (?) lie with Jack Daniels "Old Number 7", but I haven't touched hard liquor in probably 25 or 30 years! Just not my "thang"!
My dad absolutely refused to drink "blended" whiskey. It was "straight bourbon whiskey" or nothing.
Actually, if offered a drink of "Old Rooster Toot 🐓", he'd drink that!

He always bought "10 year old Dant".
He wasn't a slobbering drunk, but he was going to have his 3 or 4 "snorts" every day, if not more! Probably what killed him!
 
I’ve slowed down buying bottles a lot especially after I added everything to my Only Drams profile and saw how much I’ve spent. But I picked up a Four Roses Single Barrel and a OFSB recently.
