Bourbon

Recently (with friends/family) finished up an Elijah Craig BP 2024, Frey Ranch uncut, Dueling Grounds Linkumpinch repeal single barrel. Last night was Four Roses obsk, All were pretty good and I'd get again.
 
Last several bottles.
I might have posted this a couple pages ago but I cant remember.

Knob creek single barrel - from jim beam distillery - very good for the price. I am always pleased with 9 year old 120 proof knob creek. This bottle was at cask strength. Its new for knob to not proof down. I was very pleased with it.

Four Roses single barrel cask strenght OBSK reciepe - from four roses distillery - My favorite recipes from 4 roses are OBSK & OESK. Its amazing. Four roses is always solid.

Old forrester - from old forester distillery - Really solid rye. I was really happy with it. I dont care for old forester bourbon so I was a bit suprised. I crushed my 1/2 of that bottle.

Nashville barrel company rye - NDP (non distilling producer) juice is 95/5 rye from MGP. Its 11 year old rye. MGP knows how to make it. I always keep a couple bottle of MGP 95/5 in stock on my shelf. Its best when it is 10 years plus IMO

High west midwinters nights dram - High west is a distiller and a NDP. They mix their juice with MGP or canadian juice. I really like it. I have been fortunate enough to get one every year if I want it. I really like high west in general so there is that. They are one of the first to start finishing rye in port.

Found North Hell Diver first flight - Found North is a NDP but they age the barrels at their rickhouse and do the secondary finshing. I have neverr had a bad bottle of found north.

Bombergers - Michters distillery - Yearly release from michters. Its good. I like it. It can be hard to find,
They finish barrels. They are good at it. I have liked 90% of my barrel purchases. This one was great. I really like french oak finishing.

Old Fitzgerald - heaven hill distillery - I didnt love this. I didnt hate it. I drank 2 drinks neat and then mixed the rest of my half into coke zero. I like mixing wheaters into coke.

Beykes blue - NDP but sourced from green river distillery - It was amazing. I really like blue corn profile.

@Reburn how did you like the mid winter nights dram? I recall that being a great pour but it's been a few years since I last had one.

I really like it. I have been fortunate enough to get one every year if I want it. I really like high west in general so there is that. Some people poo poo it for price but I dont chose my booze or women by affordability.
