    I just spent an hour teaching my sophomore chemistry (F you, molar mass!) and decided to open this as a night cap. Damn, Jack is just killing it right now and this leathery, oaky medium proof goodness could easily be mistaken for some of the best MGP I’ve ever had. It’s a steal at $80 MSRP and I don’t even hate it at $300-$350 secondary.

    But the pic did.

    Balcones Rye, Ironroot Harbinger and Iron Wolf.

    This calls for a liter of Early Times. It goes down easy for the casual bourbon guy who likes it over ice or with ginger and other people can drink it straight and enjoy.

    I mean if you want something good to drink on a ski trip and $50 doesn’t matter to you then why not? Little Book 01 tonight, back when Little Book was good and $89.

    $140-$160, totally worth it.

    Agree, what are you going to trade it for, an EHT Single Barrel or something? The secondary price to enjoyment ratio on this one is happily very low. This isn’t Weller SiB or anything.

    This made me laugh, but I think that might be taking it a little far. Coy and this malt are really good, but that rye really didn’t do it for me at all. The heritage barrel special release is good in the way that Rock Hill Farms is good, but I’m not going crazy for it. Making something like WLW or GTS must be really hard or more distilleries would be cranking out halo products.

    Parlaying OF King Ranch and some other stuff into WLW is like the guy who traded up from a paper clip to a house.

    With the sherry finish or just regular malt? I keep hearing about the American malt revolution but this was the first one that really did it for me.
  11. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    That’s been all over the auctions, might need to grab one. Weird that it’s euro market only, that’s not really the Woodford game.
  12. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    This is tremendous, easily the best Jack I’ve had outside of Coy Hill. Crazy dark with a viscous and oily mouth feel, lots of fruit and oak on the palate and a long brown sugar and lightly drying finish. The nose is a little weak with mainly alcohol vapor, which is weird considering the depth of flavors. I really liked the PHC double barreled this year, but this might be better for 1/3 secondary and 1/2 retail.
  13. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    That one really is kind of interesting, far better than the five malt stouted which was just plain insulting. And speaking of Malts, time to see what side of the Surly bourbon divide I’m on for the ‘22 special release JD.
  14. Torchy’s CEO is on a canal instead of open water? Inflation is a bitch.

    This is the real hunting these days. Looking at a whiskey list and picking out something you want that’s also a great value is still a thing even though finding retail rare bottles is over. Late last year I took a client to a cigar bar where they had $6.50 pours of Weller Single Barrel.
  16. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Man, that Willett Wheated is trash at retail and nobody should be paying over unless they absolutely must show their friends how bad their taste is in bourbon. I’d buy the hell out of an $800 WLW though.
  17. I like a good trip to the Gnarly Gar/Captain Pete’s in our 21’ surf boat so this hits close to home for me.
  18. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Regular cask strength was hot and young tasting, haven’t had the picks yet. For that price at that age I would pass. New Riff single barrels are about the only thing I’ve had at four years that I cared about.
  19. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Those 5 year RC double oaks are MGP but kind of mediocre. We tasted through a few for a local club and ended up passing. I don’t like the EC toasted at all and they were in that ballpark and nowhere near as good as an OF1910 or WR Double Oak.
  20. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    If you like it I guess. It’s at least interesting if a bit unlovable. If I had to spend $200+ on Texas bourbon I’d go with Still Austin for $38 and put the $162 on the Utah money line next time they play USC.
  21. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    This guy gets it.
  22. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Wheated is good, probably better than the young MGP like white label Redemption. Way different profile than Weller or Heaven Hill wheated, but decent in its own right. Of the two the Old Soul is vastly superior but 2x the price.
  23. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Hang tight, I’ll try it.
  24. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    This Ft. Benning pick is legit, quality MGP. Looking forward to the Bardstown wheated.
  25. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Crazy deal here.
