Rumble is good. Rum is outstanding. Never had their whiskey

Oh.....Evan Williams BIB

Clyde May’s Alabama Style Whiskey

yeah. and high abv to boot.

several years ago tyyler (MIA) sent me a couple of little samplers.
True Blue Cask Strength 62.2% was one of them, I never saw it around here but did get a bottle of Baby Blue, a somewhat lower abv whiskey. Their "thing" is using blue corn and some other innovations, all that I've had have been high quality, and none are bargain priced.

Both were what I call head snapping strong, like the rum they make.

Good old mikey sent me a bottle of one of the Balcones offerings, I believe purchased when he and tyyler visited the distillery in Texas. I don't recall if it was the rum, the rumble or one of the whiskeys.

they also make an American single malt whisky.

Nikka Pure Malt


EDIT**........ This is chit by the way.... I love Japanese whisky but this is absolutely horrible chit.......did I mention this was chit!

EC 18

Neat. Baby it’s cold outside.

And my monthly drive by...

I had some Old Forester 1910 the other weekend. I'd buy it at $45 bucks or whatever the sale price was but probably not MSRP. It had a very distinct interesting flavor component that I couldn't quite put my finger on, some have likened it to dusty bourbon (I haven't had much) as well as strong red fruit maybe cherries. Pretty good **** even with the lower proof than the 1920.

I can't member what else I had to drink lately but the 1910 stood out.




I may be able to assist in this endevour next time I hunt around. There is one place in Indy that still has reasonable prices ~55$ before tax and keeps a variety of recipes in stock. Everyone else has skyrocketed the price and sells them out instantly 😞 I was super surprised to just find a bottle of a recipe I was missing out in San Diego for like 50 before tax can't member what recipe now. I've got at least one of every recipe at home now except for... OBSK and OBSO i think. ALways drink through my OBSKs fast.



Where you hear thats?


THIS.****.RIGHT.HERE!


How you get the Barrel Proofs?!?


All those heavenhill bottled in bonds are great for the money and very old barton BIB. Even mellow corn for like 9 dollars. I always keep JW Dant around and still have some of the HH. I drink alot more of those nowadays since they're still cheap and easy to find. RIP VOB6yrBIB and HH6yrBIB. The bestest of values...



I HAVE BEEN HOUNDING WT/CAMPARI FOR OVER A YEAR TO DO A BARREL FOR MY GROUP. No responses so far 😞 This **** is excellent although I liked it better when I could get for 45 bucks.



Another excellent value drinker. If you are ever in need its fairly common around here and sometimes even under $25. Let me know and I'll keep an eye out.


How is it? I haven't been able to get my hands on any of these new ones. I've got a pretty broad collection of Old Fitz stuff at home. One or two from SW (80s/90s, not 60s/70s unfortuantely), a few from Old Bernheim, and some of the discontinueds from new Bernheim/Heavenhill.

They heard it from me standing in Roy's Liquors in Vegas.... actually they probaly heard it numerous times lol


The "barrel proof" was a typo after having about 4 fingers of 120 proof single barrel Knob Creek 14yr
it is a store pick though.....he started with about 200 bottles and the chit flew off the shelf... I knew I should've got more than 1 bottle.

I was hoping Ron would say it was from the Navy.

Smart man.........it is a Navy term that not many have heard.Those that have been through SEER on up into SW schools have heard this.

Thank goodness we have you, eh?

ETL

A colleague of mine is going to be very happy to hear this.

Dettling Bourbon from Escambia County, Alabama. For a young spirit, this was exceptional. Need to try their more aged offerings.

Nauti Spirits Plundered Whiskey


Meh, but it's a newer local distillery and they told me it is an early release of their bourbon that hasn't aged long enough yet. Might go back and try when the bourbon is ready
