  • 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,

    Having a pour of my favorite in honor of my girl. Hanna gave me 16 great years. RIP girl. Hope you finally got that fucking squirrel.

Ended up at my in-laws tonight. Ancient age with a twist on the rocks it is.

I poured myself a 2018 Handy and am watching A Christmas Story. Something tells me Ralphie’s dad was a whiskey man.

Inbreeds I mean in-laws left. Blanton’s Gold and a Fuente short-story while the porterhouse cooks. Life ain’t bad after all

I know Barrell Bourbon is supposed to be overpriced, but how overpriced is it? Trying to figure out what I was just gifted

Seems like an Old Tub kinda guy to me.

I disagree that it’s overpriced. I think it’s legitimately good shit more often than not. Yes, it costs more than some bottles that are genuinely good, but I’ve never had a batch I didn’t like.

FWIW, Minnick just ranked Batch 26 as his second best bourbon of the year behind ORVW 15.

Your mom gave me a handy in 2018

Somehow that doesn’t surprise me.

A cabinet full of bottles and as usual I’m drinking High West Ryes (Double and Rendezvous). I’m not sure when the last time I finished a different bottle was, but I know I’ve finished a couple of these the last few weeks. Something about them keeps me going back to them. I could have saved a ton of money by just being only these.

Saw Old Fitzgerald 9 year for $299 the other day. Is that realistically about the best price it can be found?   

The ‘19 one is good, haven’t had the ‘20.  I picked up my ‘19 when secondary was $165 and then traded two W12 for a 15 year old fitz.  The decanters sit on my top shelf looking pretty.

I don’t have it right in front of me, but I believe it’s the batch 004 that’s finished in a run barrel. Have you had that one?

No. I have a bottle that’s Kentucky whiskey (not bourbon) finished in Sherry Barrels, and it’s very unique and also quite tasty.

Their finished stuff is generally well thought of, so I’d imagine that one is gonna be good.

Merry Christmas assholes. Drinking a glass of 4R SiB and watching Die Hard 

ER and watching Christmas Vacation.  

Handy -> EHT 4 Grain -> Barrell Craft Spirits 15 (2020)

And that’s a wrap. Merry Christmas, assholes!!

There is no way you are drinking that. While im sitting here drinking my Pappy 20 year. Whats that bottle doing these days. 35 hondo.

$600 a shot last time I saw it in the wild.

It’s very good but mainly it’s just scarce

The Star Wars nerd above gave me this a couple months ago. Cleaning and organizing the whiskey closet and found it behind some bottles. Not a bad way to start Christmas cdd6bf4c7f05b6194e40fbee208902f9.jpg

Also found this decanter that I haven’t seen in well over two years, probably closer to three. No idea what’s in it, but at that time I used it as a display piece since it has my initials and FD logo etched on it. I had a philosophy of keeping it full of JD or some other swill for those filthy peasants that insist on mixing. Take a swig? Yay or nay, first to get three votes is what I’ll do

I like how you are pretending there is a chance that you won’t drink from it.

Drain that motherfucker!!

Two amazing 11 year SAOS SiB in the background you humblebragging son of a bitch. God damn I respect you. 

None of y’all have enough of a fuckin soul to at least make it kind of interesting? Fuck here goes.


Verdict: most definitely regular Jack. Gonna go gargle some giblet gravy to get the taste out of my mouth

Merry Xmas, fuckers!

Started with the Nick last night, which was spectacular: Heavy burn for 90 Proof, char up front with a sweet finish. Gonna need to spend more time on that one, but had to keep the train going...

Nick -> Woodford Double Oak -> Sagamore Double Barrel -> Rock Hill Farms -> ECBP

The last two were a mistake as the RHF is too refined to follow that amount of oak, and the ECBP just kicked my ass right to bed.

Picked up a Parker’s Heritage with the option of getting a second. Maybe I should have.

I love the decanters. Why other distilleries don’t follow this model surprises me.

Heavy char barrels - 10 year.

It’s good, but I might trade mine away after getting a sample.  It’s more like $200 good than $350 good.

that was my 2nd drink on xmas eve.  finally cracked it and was one of my favorite pours of the last few months.

not sure where anyone was recommending paying $350 for it though.

Point is it could be traded for something in the $350 range.  I don’t mind paying secondary for great stuff, but this doesn’t live up to the hype. 

Got a call from the local shop tonight with a “come in and You’ll be happy”... so, I’m happy, but I want to trade up on the Stagg.

Any takers here feel free to PM me, but as I have a bottle in house, I’m looking to trade out. Thoughts on secondary options are appreciated as I haven’t dipped my toes into those waters as of yet, but I have a long list.
