Ronin,
It shouldn't be considered.

Outnumbered
You are absolutely on the right track. E H Taylor small batch and Stagg Jr are always in my cabinet. IMHO, E H Taylor small batch at $40 - $43 is one of the best values in the market. When you step down in quality you will know it. Very Old Barton, buffalo Trace, etc.. are good and have there place but I think most people would put them a step below EHT and Stagg Jr.

Ronin, raised an issue which is my pet peeve the sherry, port, rum cask finish, stowed in the hold of an 18th century pirate ship to sail the 7 seas, long lost orphan barrels lost till some miraculous discovery, solera aged it's all gimmicky marketing bull shit.

Cook it, ferment it, age it, bottle it, sell it.

Rant off

Tonight will be a 1792 small batch bourbon night.

My wife is visiting family so I am on my own.

Filet that I will reverse sear finished in a grill pan on the stove (weather is sub optimal for grilling). Arugula Salad.

a glass of Ferrari-Canaro Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner.

A tot of Basil Hayden Dark Rye as a night cap.

A wee bit of Glenmorangie Nectar D'or, 12 years old, 92 proof. It's fairly complex to describe, but good for a chilly, wet winter's night.

Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey and Guinness.

Last night was a couple Bulleit Rye Old Fashioneds. If I'd thought to stop for booze on the way home, I'd have done another round.

Yuengling Black & Tan

Comparing Booker’s 2017-04 “Sip Awhile” and Little Book Chapter 03: The Road Home

Both great bourbons

LEgend's Brown Ale,


mighty fine

805 with MI coozy and G26 protection.

Last Sunday my neighbor generously brought over a bottle of 10 year pappy van winkle for the chiefs game. I wonder what he pulls out for today? I like having a neighbor who is a big bourbon collector. Go Chiefs!

Can I come over for the Superbowl?

Opened a new bottle last night
Uncle Nearest 1856 Tennessee whiskey
let's call it a smoother Jack Daniels, not my favorite but pretty good

My best friend was in town, so we went up to the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore.

Good day.

Redbreast 15 year.

Brought back a bottle of this 15-year offering from Grand Cayman. It is very nice straight up.

Just good ol’ Wild Turkey 101 with a Santa Maria Tri-tip, sweet potato fries from an air fryer, and salad.

Last night, Knob Creek Rye, and Great Divide Yeti, and Lagunitas L'il Something. Ouch. Grape juice tonight.

Tonight, more of the same as a toast to President Trump's acquittal.
