Now this is an interesting pour. Picked it up locally for $30. Triple Distilled and triple casks (bourbon, sherry and chestnut). I have to say - very pleasant combination. A bit of a sweetness and very easy, smooth whisky. I drank it neat and really enjoyed it. It is unique, yet familiar. In my...

Gave my son the Old Grand Dad 16 for Xmas and he broke that bad boy open last night. it is interesting - smooth as all get out. 100 proof - it is not a flaming kind of burn, but instead a perfect warming feeling. Very subtle nuances of oak with little spice. Very, very enjoyable.

Love the EHT SB! Good hooch! Not tried the Rock Hill Farms...

Met this guy in San Juan, Puerto Rico. There were all over the place like stray dogs!!!

I'm working my way through the Caribbean right now. Will have to find that Appleton Estate AND the rum cream. We did a tour at Casa Bacardi. The tour guy interestingly told us they went away from Overproof rum because it was not selling as well as in th past. They're converted a lot of the...

If you make it to San Juan, Puerto Rico the Founder's Tour at Bacardi is fantastic. And because I took the tour I was given a 20% discount on purchases in the store. This is a very special rum that can only be purchased in one place - the company store in San Juan. The only product 30 bottles...

The price was right (retail-ish as the grocery store tends to charge just a wee bit more than liquor stores). My buddy in Arizona said he found the Midwinter Night's Dram at $150 (I paid $180) and the Eagle Rare was $45 (which is maybe a few dollars more than liquor store). But I most...

Yet another great trip to the local grocery store! The Midwinter Nights Dram is amazing - a great rye whisky expression. If you can find it, grab it (my buddy in Arizona is telling me he's found it at Total Wine).

Really lucked out yesterday - found this at a local grocery store. Been chasing this to no avail all over the place! Love the Wild Turkey 101 - and want to see what the additional age will do for it! (Excuse the placement on the pet food aisle shelf - was trying to mess with my son who is a...

I have not seen the Kilchoman Sanaig Cask Strength - but I fear that is going to be somewhat of a unicorn. Not a lot of places carry Kilchoman (about the only place around here I usually see it is at Binny's). I will keep an eye out because you just never know!!!

I'm not much of a a peated scotch fan, but the Octomore sure does get my attention! I recently finished off a bottle of the sister non-peated Black Art - one of the best Scotches I've ever had. But it's gone up about another $100 a bottle since the last time I bought it... :mad: I instead...

Seems to be a LOT more of the BT HTF's around these days - I also grabbed a bottle of Weller SR at our local grocery store last week. Had not seen it around for the last year! Also had access to a few bottles of Eagle Rare, EH Taylor and Blanton's (picked up another bottle a few weeks ago)...

I still can't believe I found something like this in a grocery store - at SRP...

Picked this up at our local grocery store - for $45! This was produced by the guy who started Whistlepig. He sold Whistlepig and now has started a new distillery. Well worth $45 if you're partial to rye whiskey! 👍

I've had a couple of tastes and it's a very nice $50ish bottle of whiskey. It is a bit less intense than bourbon and even American rye whiskeys (such as Templetons or Whistlepig), but it is a very nicely balanced, routine kind of drinking whisky. I did taste the vanilla notes (pretty subtle)...

Not sure what to make of this whiskey (going to open it soon), but for $50 retail how bad could it be? The son and I were just taking about how Canadian whiskeys were stepping up their game - hopefully this is an amazing example of that! We shall see!!!

I think I lucked out - retail at a local grocery store of all places…. 🥰 UPDATED: At the urging of my son, I've cracked this bottle to sample the contents and all I can say is "where have you been all of my life!!!" Amazing nose (likely sounds crazy, but I could definitely smell traces of the...

I hate gougers with a passion!!! I'd never pay over retail for Blanton's. And I really only buy it to give as gifts for friends - I like a lot of other whiskey's over Blanton's. Just gave a bottle of Blanton's to my son-in-law for his birthday.

Oh yeah! Rare Breed! ♥️ I am especially fond of the Rare Breed Rye. But I could not agree more on the best Old Fashioned being made with Rare Breed. Was very blessed when visiting the Wild Turkey distillery that they had a few bottles of the Master's Keep Unforgotten for sale in their...

There's another one!! And the Isaac Bowman Port Barrel Finished bourbon. For $40ish... Yeah - that's some good hooch!!!
