Thanks to Tucker for the 1.5 litre of Old Weller Antique 107 he gifted Lisa and I @ the Moose Manor Herf ( of course we put it on the table for all to enjoy ) There was so much good chit to drink!!!! Jules and Cindy hit us with a new to us bourbon Bear Wallow Gnaw Bone Bourbon frpm Gnaw Bone, IN. @ barrel strength. Thanks a million ladies

Four Roses Bourbon
just the good old 80 proof bottom rung offering from maybe the best bourbon maker out there.

best $18 I spent last week.

"Out of Willett’s sourced-bourbon brands, Noah’s Mill is a blistering 114.3 proof bourbon. When Willett originally released Noah’s Mill, it carried a 15-year age statement. But in these times of bourbon shortages, the age statement has dropped, and now people believe Noah’s Mill to be a blend of bourbon aged four to 20 years."

Worth having a bottle around, IMHO.

Went to aome friends' house for dinner. Had a couple of Maker's. Think I'm moving quickly to scotch only. Far more interesting flavors.

Last night....Ewok Van Winkle

Glenfiddich 12 - my go to if I don't want to spend $70

Followed by Monkey Shoulder - my go to after my go to, plus a nod to all those monkeys out there

Sazerac

3x - Weller 12

Neat
One drop of water
One ice cube

Dinner at Sarento's, on the top of the Ilikai Hotel, before they close down for good at the end of the month.

Now I get why it's so sought after.

Hello Kipp, safe travels brother on your way back.

Had an opportunity to finally try ETL @ the Moose manor Herf, Bluewater ( Jeff ) brought out what was left of a bottle he had on board his motor home and let my bride and I try it. Excellent bourbon!!!

Hell T we stood deep in a line in one of Louisville's Liquor Barn' for over 45 minutes....for this years release. Only to come away with an EMPTY ETL case box!!!! I guess next year I need to be there with a lawn chair 4 hours before they open....just for an opportunity to score some.

Been a hectic summer... things be slowing down a bit. Haven't had a cigar in like 60 days thanks to sinus bull **** butttt got to do some whiskey the other night:

Redemption Cask Strength 7yr Rye
Smooth Ambler Old Scout Cask Strength 8yr Rye
Willett Family Estate Cask Strength 9yr Rye
2015 or 2016 I've forgotten Thomas H Handy Rye
Kenucky Owl Rye
Whistlepig 15 yr Vermont estate something blah blah Rye (purchased at 40% and still not worth it compared to the rest of these suckers, only Kentucky Owl cost more).

All fantastic ryes, even the whistlepig. WP just not worth the money.

I absolutely get this mentality. If you haven't had it in a while, buy some Wild Turkey 101. It's a damn steal.

Not as hot as you'd think. Seriously, worth a try. I'm a rocks guy, and it's about perfect for the money. But then, there are plenty of bourbons at twice the price that aren't as good.

Okay, I may give that a shot...... see what I did there?

If i don't like it, I can always send it to Bama.

Huh. When you try it, let me know what you think.

I wonder if Burner has heard anything or tried it yet....
