1792 small batch bourbon!!! This is such a nice product.

I bought a sixer of this Friday night. Very tasty. Enjoying one while I cook some wings in the Big Easy.

Einbecker Mai-Ur-Bock with homemade wienerschnitzl, boiled potatoes, jagersahne, saurkraut, and konigskuchen for dessert. I put some Knob Creek Rye in the jagersahne. Gents, I may not die happy, but I can die content tonight.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It's good for what ales ya!

After a miserable day of driving after a quick but nasty snowstorm last night that left ice covered roads for rush hour and a 4 hour 60 mile drive to work, I stopped at one of my local hunting grounds on the way home and spied this. $44.99 after 10% Tuesday booze discount. 132.5 proof lights up your mouth in a good way. Where's my jammies?!?!

Nice score, BRL. I like to add a single cube, and give it a few minutes. There is a point where the heat recedes and the flavors unstack, and it's worth the small effort to find it.

For me, tonight, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. I also had a Jack Daniel's Rye mini, so I gave it a whirl too.

stagg jr is hard to find? Got it by the case here.

Stumbled on this Eagle Rare in some whole in the wall. If I'm not mistaken this is part of the BTAC Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. If not seen one in the stores before but if it comes from the Buffalo Trace Distillery, I'd say it has a good chance of being a winner.



Normally I like my whisky neat. This was served well by some ice. Not my favorite bottle but it's certainly drinkable.

2009 Bordeaux. Hauts de Pontet-Canet. Bought a case of it before it came out; my one and only wine future purchase. This is the first bottle I've opened.

BRL, Eagle Rare is not in the BTAC that I know of. Most of the Buffalo Trace offerings lack punch, IMO. If you can find the Col. E.H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond Small Batch bourbon, pounce on it! That is a flavorable bourbon. BT also offers a Single Barrel, and a rye small batch. I have not tried those but will buy the rye for Christmas. The Sazerac Rye is also a fave.

Tonight, Dos Equis Amber, Victory Storm King, Boulevard Snow & Tell, Victory Mighty Things. Finishing with the Ardbeg 10 Yr.

The Woodford Masters collection cherry smoked barely is simply amazing. The perfect balance of a spicy bourbon with a single malt scotch finish.

Eagle rare 17 is part of BTAC. That is eagle rare 10 yr. Not a bad bottle for 30ish.

Here is what Er17 of the btac looks like.

^^^^ ah thanks. At least I wasn't being a complete idiot. Still learning.

BRL, Good find on the Stagg Jr. Apparently it's readily available some places, but I'm in VA and had to order mine from London to get a bottle under 100$ if that tells you anything. Never found a bottle in 9 years of the FL panhandle either.

I was into the Glendronach Allerdice 18 last night with the chilly wind outside.

Drinking Egg Nog and bourbon tonight.

Stagg Jr for me tonight

I stopped in my shop tonight and they had 8 bottles on the shelf. If any member wants one I'll send it. $55 plus tax and shipping would be in the $75 range (shipping usually runs $15)

Lagunitas Brown Shugga'

Two Wheel Amber, Two Wheel IPA, Victory Mighty Things, Green Flash Palette Wrecker.

I'm digging this. A nice Highland Scotch that's deep with a nice smoky peat but not palate crushing. This one has been discontinued, or so I heard, so I wanted to try my mini and see if it was worth picking one up for the $75 or so. I think I might.

Love Highland Park.

Tonight I had a Vesper, a port, a Pinot Noir, a Hendrick’s gin and tonic. And a Cabernet. I’m sleepy.
