June 20Jun 20 Was out at dinner tonight and on the menu was a brown butter bourbon. It's exactly what it sounds like; brown butter mixed in a bourbon, served neat. It was crazy good.

June 30Jun 30 Best readily available by category under $75? - American Single Malt: Jack Daniel's Oloroso Sherry Cask by a wide, wide margin. - Rye: Sazerac store pick. I love Bulleit 12, but it's come and gone. - Bourbon: Wild Turkey 8

June 30Jun 30 Every Beam product has varying degrees of peanut. Old Tub is like chewing nuts. Many Bookers batches are heavy peanut. Most KC higher aged leans more pecans than peanut as it ages.
June 30Jun 30 Knob Creek is really all over the place for me. I’ve liked all of the Longhorn picks. The sweet spot is 14+ years at 120 proof, but those are probably never coming back. i don’t care for KC12. I don’t remember 15 being anything memorable. The new Longhorn pick is pretty good. I’d guess it’s around 9+ years at 100 proof. That said, it’s probably not worth eating at Longhorn Steakhouse to try a pretty good pick.
June 30Jun 30 I bought a KC barrel select rye today. 115 proof, 9 year age statement, $62 I have liked every one of these I have bought.

June 30Jun 30 Dickel = multivitamin, Beam = peanuts. One of those is not necessarily a negative. One of those is ABSOLUTELY a negative. Damn shame too, because I live semi-near the Dickel distillery and drive literally right by it on occasion for work. I WANT to like them, but I cannot.

July 3Jul 3 Bookers 30 is great stuff. If you get a chance to try 25, I HIGHLY recommend you do it. Even better.

July 4Jul 4 I don’t think I’ve bought one of these in a couple of years so it was an immediate open for the holiday.
July 4Jul 4 Happy 4th surly! This is pretty tasty. Not Longhorn 14.5 years, 120 proof tasty, but quite good. Destroys the 12 year 10” proof.

July 5Jul 5 KC15 is strangely good. It has the Beam oh shit this tastes like peanuts mouthfeel that immediately and thankfully transitions to cherries. Proof is too low for a nice cola pop, but it works. You could do a lot worse at $100.
July 11Jul 11 My neighbor stumbled upon quite the dusty in their mother’s bar… apparently it belonged to their grandfather and had just been held onto for sentimental value…

July 13Jul 13 Would you dare to take a sip?Last one close to this sold for $5k…So no, unless it was already opened.
July 13Jul 13 100% angels share - Cork had recession at base, but was mostly intact and stamp is undisturbed.
July 13Jul 13 I met a nice fellow yesterday on a ranch tour. He was unironically wearing a Garrison Bros t-shirt encouraging Texans to drink Texas bourbon. Is this a real campaign with a substantial following?
July 13Jul 13 [mention=1601]Party_Taco[/mention] is the mashbill public knowledge? Not known, but…The term “pure rye whiskey” and the Monongahela designation historically indicated a very high rye content. According to industry historians, “pure rye whiskey” from Pennsylvania in the late 19th and early 20th centuries typically meant a mashbill of at least 95% rye grain, with the remainder usually being malted barley for enzyme conversion.

Perhaps, they got a favorable interest rate and subsidies because they’re a black owned business. Regardless, buying a beach house via funds from a business loan is pretty, pretty bad.
