Finally tried an Old Fitzgerald today (not BiB unfortunately) but this is delicious, even coming in at 80 proof!

Please... tell? (BiB)


I just indulged in some Wild Turkey, I always have it up on the bar for offering and had many takers over the years but only drink it myself when out of Jamesons stock and only drink the 18 Reserve on Holidays.


Have it but refuse.


The WT was pretty good..

Any thoughts on the "Kentucky Fuck".....as I call it....no offense meant at all , just a NicName.

Sorry DP, BiB = Bottled in Bond. Those are the most popular Old Fitzgerald's. Not terribly priced MSRP but are popular and secondary prices run a couple of hundred dollars each.

Not a fan of WT, too much heat/spice for me. I like my bourbon between 90-105 proof but even then, I like it smooth because I only drink it neat.

Did some Ancient Age sampling today. The 10 was my favorite, followed by the regular, and lastly the Preferred but overall, wasn't too impressed with any particular one.

Nice.... I had the one to the left once.

Good stuff.

That one was actually my least favorite of the 3 DP

First time trying Nulu today. Overall, not too bad. I did like the toasted quality of the juice, but overall, nothing too special. Have another pick coming in a few weeks that I ordered a few months back.

My Irish peeps representing! 🍀🥃 I'm the same, I drink my whiskey neat (never mixed). If it's a higher proof, I may add some water from time-to-time to see if it opens it up anymore but 99.9% of the time, it's straight up.

When you don’t get the sweep but still take 2 out of 3 from those cheating Asterisks!

They had a rough afternoon

Mets Won.

Fresh crack Fridays! Between the Nulu and the Woodford Reserve, I liked the WR better. Put a picture of the Hulk Nulu Toasted Barrel as an opponent to the Cap SiB Nulu and Cap won

Wow, great looking bottles.

Thanks DP. Loved the Woodford Reserve so much, got a second bottle (tasted like chocolate and marshmellow). Got another bottle from the same place coming in as well. I'll post a pic when it arrives (hopefully before the end of the week).

This is a popular bottle by me and somewhat hard to find. Found a store that had it and decided to give it a shot. A good but not great pour. Not overly priced at $45, but wasn't wowed after the first taste either. Will go back to it to see if it picks up any.

Trying this for the first time as well and I enjoyed it. Didn't love it but enjoyed it more than the Bowman SiB. However, this was a store pick from Total Wine so I am curious how much that factored in to it compared to the regular swill?

4 Roses Total Wine pick 🌹 First OBSF I’ve had and I like it, but I still prefer the OESV.

Your collection amazed me totally.

I have seen some amazing collections on many incredible bars over the years and many have had some wild offerings but your personal collection is even better since you, like me with cigars look for value and not just he most perceived premium choice.

Luv it i12

I appreciate it DP! Honestly, been cutting back a little bit. The hobby can get very expensive and I'm trying to save some money so I haven't purchased as much recently. But last week I did go on a bit of a "binge" with the John J Bowman, Russell's Reserve and I got another bottle of the Woodford Reserve Double Oak (well, 2 actually since I loved the first bottle so much plus a different bottle from the same group). Hope to have them by this weekend or next week at the latest. Will post a picture of the additional bottle from there when I crack it.

Great, enjoy...will be looking out for it.

Newest addition: Tumblin Dice group pick. Just missing Ironman now

Doing some High West sampling this Memorial Day.

Was finally able to track down a bottle of Woodford Reserve Very Fine Rare Bourbon and I'm disappointed. Prior to this I'd had 3 different WR variations and enjoyed each one of them immensely. However, this does not justify the price (even at MSRP). Had a lot of oak and leather to it, which weren't terrible, but compared to the other 3 WR's I'd had, this is by far the worst.

I'm hit or miss when it comes to rye's but got a sample of this from a buddy and was in the mood for more today so I stopped by Total Wine to pick up a bottle. No spice, just mint, and very tasty.

A little bit of bourbon and a little bit of reading.

This was my haul from today. I've cut back a little on my buying but splurged today. All of these I've never tried before with the exception of the Evan Williams BiB and SiB.

Trying Sam Houston for the first time. Got it about $20-$30 off MSRP and I enjoyed it. Good, but nothing that blew me away. Had a little bit of heat on it but at almost 75% corn, I was a little disappointed and I typically like corn and wheat bourbons but this didn't have the same smooth and creaminess I associate with those grains.

I was with someone yesterday who offered Buffalo Trace.

It was very good and I think we drank too much of it and had a couple of cigars.

Great DAY.

Nice DP. Buffalo Trace is one of my favorite daily sippers! How did you like it?

Feels like a Dickel kinda hump day. First time trying out the 8 & 12 years (and that 15 is delicious and at a great price point).

I liked it a lot and must get a bottle on my bar.
