Makers Mark 46. A little sweeter than my usual Jim Beam Black, but very nice.

Super smooth, minimal heat on the tongue and cheeks, more like nice spiciness, late warmth on the way down...this might really be not just the best value but dam good bourbon at any price too. When this is gone, I'm going back for the 1.75 ml at $29.

OK, just tried a taste w/ a splash of water...much better neat. I'm staying around the manor tonight, any cigar type suggestions to go with my new friend Evan? I'm thinking something just a little spicy to match rather than trying to contrast.

If you do not find Dickel 12 or OGD 114 pretty soon let me know....I owe you anyway.The Barrel Select has been rare around here for a while.

I love this thread

and my hot streak continues, as I'm all over the boards with great things happening to and for me. I told Fiddler I am so lucky and he corrected me and said "you did mean blessed, right?".

well, hardly of the magnitude I have become accustomed to happening, but an hour before the Pats game I decided to check a small, nearby little liquor shpo. Lo and behold, on the bottom shelf...OGD 114! Manager said he got some in a week ago. $28, may not be the deal you guys get elsewhere but I'm pleased.

It's breathtaking, but just as smooth and drinkable as Bakers 107, can't believe the price. It says Lot #1 for what it's worth. I believe this is a sit-yo-azz-on-the-rocker-you-ain't-goin'-nowhere bourbon.

Think later I'll sit outside on the rocker and pour a real one to go with...maybe another DL452? not sure. Maybe a ZRX cigar!
