  • 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,

The Old Scout pick opened up some / I’m not hammered like last night, and I think I’ll pass on another. There was a sweet note on the palate last night, tastes like vitamins today. 

Vitamins?  Read the fine print, does it still say its out of Indiana and not Tennessee?  Vitamins just screams Dickel to me, very much in a bad way.

It’s Indiana to be sure. But yeah vitamins.

Suggestions for a New Riff noob?

You didn’t ask me but I got to do a barrel pick last year and it was delicious. The off the shelf SiB is every bit as good IMO. I’m looking forward to trying the rye and I kick myself for not grabbing the Balboa Rye when I saw it in Lville last summer. 

#18305

I cracked the SiB rye for you chaps. It’s lovely. Comes on big and strong on the first sip but settles in as you go. A little piece of ice opens it up and knocks back the oak I was starting to get. I really like it.

If it’s easy to find once it comes to Texas I can easily recommend adding both SiB to your rotations.

I've told this story before:  

My local, dirty, shitty liquor store changed hands and remodeled.   They cleaned it up tremendously.  New coolers, lighting, flooring, shelving, etc.

Directly above the register, on the top shelf, was a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle.   I asked the owner about it, and he told me that he had to twist his distributors arm to get it, and also had to buy 100 cases of fireball, but, he wanted it on the shelf for status; the only place in San Diego County to have it.   Retail was $1999, IIRC.  

Today I go in, and they have a bottle of "OFC", and the retail is $7,999.

I don't mind places like that doing shit like that.  I'm not going to buy it.  And I didn't expect to find something like that at retail.

But if they want a show pony in their display good for them.

I’ve been defrauded by several legitimate businesses and zero whiskey strangers on the internet.  You should be fine.

Tried to sign up but it said card not allowed. It’s a Visa card and the site says they take Visa.

For the squares deal? Or total wine?

Buddy does this every year.

If anyone goes in, I will arrange shipping if you win.

This is the one I tried to pay with Visa. Where is the Venmo payment option? I think I got it now, I’m slow.

If your local Total Wine has this, absolutely get it.
It’s phenomenal.

I concur. The Total by my house went ten deep on that bottle. I picked up the one so as not to be a hypocrite. But it’s really excellent.

They have an Armagnac cask bourbon as well which seems to be getting some love… anyone tried that?

That one is good too.  

#18341

I ended up buying the Armagnac and the Port Cognac ones.  They better be good.

 

OR ELSE

Picked some up today. It’s very nice (granted I like a high rye mash bill). It will make for some excellent manhattans or an old fashioned if you don’t want to sip it.

Not a ringing endorsement. I’ll try at the bar first.

I know you probably watch all of the bourbon podcasts on YouTube,
Don’t take my word for it, but It’s Bourbon Night had the Nobleman in their top 10 of 2022.
It may have even been top 5.
It’s a Total Wine pick, I’d imagine you’re not gonna find it in a bar.

It’s good.

Hmm. Yeah if I can find a pick, I’ll go for it. Is the cognac finish better than the other one?

Yep it’s just as good as I remembered.
