107 is my favorite bourbon. Very good stuff. Also enjoy that McKenna. Nice peanut shell taste to it.

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.

That whistle pig 12 is next on my list.

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.

The Knob Creek Bourbon x Rye is fine…

But the Wild Turkey Rare Breed is a really nice place to end up.

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!

RR15 tonight. It was a wonderful pour. Certainly not worth the secondary price, but it was a pleasure to try.

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.

This didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped...

The Penelope Wheated was good - not amazing, but good enough.

The BH Subtle Smoke didn't do anything for me.

The Whistlepig Farmstock Rye was the grassiest I've ever had, and not in a way that made me like it.

The Rare Breed Rye was damn good. Of the four, I kept what was left of this and gave the others away.

Got a delivery today…the Widow Jane and the Whistlepigs are new (I’ve had the 12-yr before).

Widow Jane is the bomb. So is anything wild turkey. And most things whistle pig.

I have found the vaults worth it if you can swing it. Those are my second bottles. I havent opened the black opal yet.

His and hers pours this past weekend. Wife is a huge Elijah Craig fan and this bottle had somehow managed to hide itself in the back of the cabinet for the last few years.

Yep. We had moved in 2020 and this one just found itself a quiet corner that got overlooked. Made for a nice holiday pour.

Tried one of those doing the tour/ tasting/attached bar. Great little distillery to stop at if you are in the neighborhood. And we try to get to the neighborhood when we visit the daughter. There is a darn good bbq joint walking distance as well. Well good for a guy who only visits TX and KC
