  • I’m exhausted, but she’s basically done... just a few touch ups and a second lamp... then I get to focus on balancing out the left side. Been very thankful to have this as a distraction during COVID,

wife material, imo. 

They were saying in the hunting thread that girls with ranches are prettier, but I’d say not as pretty as girls with Pappy and WLW hookups.

Barrell makes delicious shit that routinely contains individual components that many people turn their noses up at. They have been killing it for awhile and most of the recent batches use some combo of KY/TN/IN juice. Blending is a whole different game and you shouldn't just look at a list of components and rule something out because you don't like one by itself.

That is more of a matter of me defending blending as a process than me defending Disco 7, which I've obviously never had. At this point I've had 5 out of the 6 Discovery blends and 4 of the 5 I've tried have been very good to fucking great. So their hit rate here is pretty strong.

I don’t know how I never realized this. McKenna, EWSiB, and 4R SmB were my go-to rotation back in my early days. Can’t remember the last time I’ve bought any of them, but nostalgia may lead to an impulse buy.

I've found a couple McKennas lately. Still very good, even at the new price point.

Bourbon market is officially out of control. I can't compete with people lining up at specs at 8am. 

8am for opening/selling when? The jackasses around me start lining up the night before to camp out. And don't even always know what will be put out the next day

Second pour is much better. The scotch taste definitely dissipates but still flickers on the finish. 

I mean, it’s 17 year.  Still less oaky than EC18.

If you don’t think Bardstown’s blends with TN whiskey aren’t good, than there is no hope for you.
God damn they are knocking it out of the park.
Disco 6 is fucking incredible.
7 looks interesting. Can’t wait to try it.

#15628
Haha no. I need to make a liquor store run today and I want to avoid that location. 

Tilted Bottle was posting since 8am and was trolling the masses with vague “products I won’t mention” posts, so I’m sure lots of dads were out on 90 minute donut runs.

If it was 95 deep for Heaven Hill BiB, they need Jesus in Dallas.

EC18 is a definite oak bomb

Aren’t all the EC18’s? I mean 18 yrs is alot for any bourbon.

So the thread consensus is that Decades is the best Master’s Keep? 

It's right there, for sure. 

BTW, I'm not sure who on this thread needs to hear this, but you absolutely should pick up a bottle of Barrel Seagrass. Absolutely delicious.

My buddy wouldn't stop talking about it at the Houston Whiskey Social.

So different than everything. I’m on bottle 4. Haven’t seen it disappearing yet so haven’t gone on a stock up spree. Don’t have a comparison.

I really liked the Master’s Keep Rye. 

I like the 17 BiB a ton, finished one and on my second along with having 3 backups.  Cornerstone only exists to prove that Rare Breed Rye doesn’t have to be so angry.  I need to find one of the OG 17 year low proofers so I can say for sure.

I hvae been considering opening my MK17.  I also have an unopened EC18.  Might need to do a comparo

I would kill for ER these days. I moved to a state that doesn’t get much. I subsist on Old Forester series 

The son in law just laid a half gallon of the ER big boy bottle on me last week. Christmas is saved !!

When I can’t find ER Bulleit orange label has been my daily go to.

Also had the chance to drink a few healthy pours of the Weller full proof 114, damn it was smooth, and that was neat.

Dallasites that don’t care for mwnd pm me. I got plenty to trade. Discos. Eht. Blantons. Let’s make it happen.

I don’t love the price on Seagrass, but I’ll give it a shot. 
 

I’ve been very selective lately. Trying to keep my powder dry for the late fall releases which are taking longer than expected to get here.

Brother in law is one of these who blows his wad chasing bourbon and waiting outside liquor stores like he's in the year 2000 waiting outside Walmart all night for a PS2 launch. I don't get it but it's not my time and money wasted. 

I enjoy a good scotch occasionally but haven't cared for bourbon so haven't tried any in years. What's the consensus on the best bottle of bourbon I could walk into a specs or total wine and buy tomorrow? I'd like to try one to see if I like it any better than 20 years ago.

I'd recommend a bottle of Old Forester (Statesman or 1920), Four Roses Small Batch, or Michters. 

All should be on the shelf and are really good bourbons.

Russell's Reserve SiB Store Pick or Maker's Mark FAE-01.

Personally, I would break into the BILs stash and try a few different things.

Old Forester 1920, Wild Turkey Rare Breed and Four Roses SB are all very good.

My infinity bottle would agree with you. It’s full of great stuff and lesser than the sum of its parts.

Man that’s tough. It’s so subjective. For instance I’d say Old Forrester 1910 (I like it better than 1920).

Barrell seems to stay stocked but I wouldn’t know which one to get, they aren’t cheap.
