Got a couple of decanters and set about tidying up the collection and dealing with some open bottles.
I won’t be drinking these tonight or tomorrow, but in one I made a batch of PMP.

In the other, I started an infinity bottle blending the following:
100ML Basil Hayden (80)
250ML Weller Reserve (90)
100ML Weller Antique (107)
200ML OF1910 (93)
50ML Legent (94)
100ML Flor de Cana 7 (80), because fuck it.

My wife wins Christmas, she got me these shelves so I could redo the bar.

It’s always been crazy to me how scarce eagle rare is in some places. I’ve never walked into a liquor store in PA and it not been on the shelf. More often than not it’s an end cap with 6+ cases waiting to be bought. 

I know and I don't understand it.  A friend of mine was driving through California and saw Eagle Rare everywhere.  He bought a bunch and brought it back.  Same thing when I'm in the Northeast.  There is plenty.  Can't find Blanton's anywhere, though.

Parker’s Hertiage and Four Roses Limites Edition on the second to bottom shelf. You monster!!!

I'll be right over.

Everyone of you surly bastards are welcome and I’ll open anything that isn’t.

 

 

 

I typically avoid putting a cherry in my Manhattan. That is until a friend gave me a jar of luxardo cherries. If you use cherries or not, get a jar of luxardos.

This guy fucks?

I would probably ask for some WLW as I’ve never tried it, but that OG Old Scout Single Barrel hiding on the bottom left is calling my name

They really are fantastic, aren't they?

It’s an 11 yr. so fucking good

I don't use them in my drinks either, but what's different about the Luxardos? Almost picked some up last night.

They’re a candied cherry. They taste kind of like a grape.  I hate regular cherries, but love luxardos. 

Grabbed a bottle of Jefferson's Very Small Batch for sippin tonight and tomorrow. So gotdam smooth.

Guess I need to get some.

You can use the luxardo syrup as lube.  It's that damn good.

So I guess we know where the next Surly happy hour will be taking place.

I must have missed 60 minutes, but Weller Single Barrel is coming in 2020

Please have a wider release than the full proof 

I’m sipping Old Rip Van Winkle and watching Die Hard right now. Christmas Eve couldn’t get much better. 

Pappy and Die Hard during Christmas is my most cherished tradition. 

People I would share Pappy with in order: 

1) Argyle 

2)  Hans

3) Ellis

4) Theo

5) John

Trying to trade it for a GTS and another OFBB.

Your longhorn and shelf system is shaming my container store rack system. 


BTW, that old Fitz sample was delicious. You need to try a sip of the SW versions. I just opened a 1972 and I’m in bourbon love.

Can someone stack rank the 1792s? I think I’ve only had the Full Proof and the regular. The FP is delicious napalm.

Sweet wheat man. Sweet wheat. 

WLW and Old Fitz with dinner leads into prepping for tomorrow...

Cheers y’all!

1. Full proof-store pick
1b. Full Proof
2. Sweet wheat
3. High Rye
4. Bottled in Bond
I haven’t had the 12 year or the port finish

I passed on the 12 year because I splurged that week. Big mistake. It was the first and the last time I’ve ever seen it for near MSRP. 


The Full Proof Total Wine Store Pick is amazing and the only reason I continue to shop their intermittently.

Buffalo Trace is doing some cool things with Weller, Old Charter oak experiments, Buffalo Trace Experimental, and 1792 but I think they could do more. 

An eight to ten year old single barrel Sazerac Rye would be awesome. So would a high proof Eagle Rare. How about releasing some the Blanton’s European/Japanese products in the US? Their portfolio is so massive and includes so many beloved brands that could use a new offering. The possibilities are limitless.

While Sazerac owns 1792, it isn’t a BT product. Different distillery and oversight. On Blantons, Sazerac can’t. They don’t own it.

Edited by Bert Orange

Bill, if you can get your hands on the BTAC ER17, it was increased to 101 proof last year and all years going forward. Realize it’s not exactly what you meant, but it, while rare and pricey, will at least give you a glimpse into what a high proof ER can be. 

So I know this is a bourbon board, but the Scotch board is dead.  Thought there would be plenty of general whisky knowledge here.  Gift from daughter/son-in-law.  Anyone familiar with this?

Love almost everything I’ve had from Kavalan. They know what they’re doing.

It’s okay, but I think it’s a little overrated. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lot B is great though 

 

 

Merry Christmas gentlemen. 
 

I noticed tonight that Blanton’s seems to flow out of the bottle much faster when you have 5 more bottles in reserve. 

Old Rip Van Winkle is of course terrific. It’s probably the pick over Lot B every time. 

Here’s to hoping to Pappy 15 next December. 

Been loving the old MGP these days.  The OLC Magnus pick, Redemption 10 year high rye and Remus Volstead 14 are all on point.
