No offense taken. Like DP said, I'm more of a beer guy but somehow in 2020 I fell into the bourbon game. But like any hobby, I'm probably fall out of it just as quickly. But these bottles I'm buying, I'm cracking them to taste them and then putting them away. I'm not going through a bottle a night but with me being Irish, I never stood a chance if you know what I mean.

Yes Sir...I do know what u mean....both my parents r off the boat in the late 40s...I grew up w/ out a brough (accent)..but my oldest sister who was born in 1950..still has a slight accent..I guess from being that accesible 2 it from an early age...I used 2 bring my friends home from school & they would ask me why my parents talked funny...funny?? I never noticed it because I was so used 2 it...but up 2 this day I can replicate it like a true Irishman...I still in my mind keep hearing my old man telling me 2 " Take the fooking trough and deeg the dirt ""so yuu can plant the potaatos"..anyways..forget about what I said...I know ur not in danger of being like my mother in any sort of the way...Cheers!!

Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye Whiskey, rated the 2020 Whiskey of the Year. Saw a bottle so I had to grab it and try it for myself. For 132 proof, this is surprisingly smooth. I get the hints of fruit but not vanilla or chocolate. Overall not bad and it only cost $60, but I wouldn't claim it to be the best whiskey of the year.

Had a mild heart attack yesterday. Nothing to worry about. Still at the hospital, but should be home tomorrow. My doctor said I should stay away from all substances, but I'm definitely getting hammered tomorrow if they release me. My friend gave me a bottle of Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye.

Whether they win or lose you should see Jameson in your future. If they win, you're celebrating, And if they lose, you're mourning.

Buffalo Trace, came right up.

This was it, pretty good..... I just had a taste since I was already into a few beers and wine was on the menu for dinner as well.

You've gotta treat yourself sometimes. Enjoy DP! I went to a local distillery this past weekend and unless I go out of town this weekend, I'm hoping to hit up another one on Saturday. I do tours and samplings. I enjoy it, it's inexpensive, and I get to try out there line of whiskeys, since for either distillery I hadn't tried any of them before except 1 line of the one I went to last weekend.

Nice mail day! I still have a bottle of the Buffalo Trace Kosher Straight Rye so I'm curious how the Rye Recipe and Wheat Recipe will taste compared to it? The Straight Rye I actually quite liked as it had a mint flavor on the back end. The Taylor's are just some additional bottles to my collection since that and the Heaven Hill BiB are 2 of my faves. Can never have enough of them!

These are both barrel picks of Heaven's Door. Never had it before but once I saw the stickers, I knew I had to have them. Cracked one open today. It's a rye & whiskey blend so it has the rye taste but with a smooth, bourbon finish so you don't get that spicy/harsh rye bite to it.

That is a great story, I am not familiar with it but will ask another friend who is a Big Scotch guy.

Maybe he has heard of it.

Sorry hood but I'm not a Scotch drinker. Try to Google it and see if you can't research the value of it. Definitely don't want to sell yourself short.

Do you have a picture of the bottle?

I think it could be very nice bottle but to get that high a value it needs to be the 1975, i think you mention 1973 bottle.

Did you tell your Aunt it is very rare?

Did you find other interesting items in the attic.?

Whiskey the way they made it in the pioneer days: straight off the still. Whiskey is clear until it's added to barrels for aging (that's what gives it it's color).
