If you can find it, please try the 1792 Bottled-in-Bond. The Full Proof has a good reputation but I have not yet tried it.

slyguyPicked up a bottle of Angels Envy Triple Oak last weekend.
Nice mild woody flavors. Not as strong as the Woodford triple oak.
A lower proof bourbon that is very good neat.

YellowJacketI grabbed a bottle of Old Elk’s 95% wheater. WOW.
If you like wheated whiskey, give this a try. You’d think it might be one-dimensional but it is quite complex.

slyguyFound a bottle of Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell 70th anniversary last week.
Very smooth with mild wood notes. This is a very good value at $50 for an 8 year expression.
It checks a lot of boxes for me.
I think I'll have to grab another If I see it.

A buddy of mine was able to grab me one and I'm heading to his place Saturday to pick it up. Can't wait to get it, I really like the Wild Turkey offerings and the Russell's offerings.

I grabbed two a few weeks back, it's quite good, but I'm also a Turkey guy.

I got a bottle a couple weeks ago but haven’t opened it yet. Been hearing nothing but positive reviews.

slyguyFortunate to purchase a Stagg Jr last Friday. Now I have the 24A spring release and a 24B fall version. I'm sure I won't be able to tell the difference between the two.
After opening the first one it's obvious there are a bunch of flavors to enjoy. I'll be sipping this slowly for quite a while.

petrI was able to snag a bottle of Russells 15 and a Wild Turkey Jimmy Russell 70th anniversary tonight. The Russells is amazing!

I tried this yesterday. It's got a bit of a bite right off, but it smooths out quickly. I like it.

This is a Michters release, this is one of my favorite bourbons. Bombergers is another Michter that’s really good.

Johnny 3eaglesScored a bottle of 1792 Full Proof and a bottle of Maker's Mark Cask Strength today.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

P-220OMG, they are showing Elmer T at BT this morning.
My wife asked last night, if we should go. I said, naw, what are the chances they would ever do something like releasing the EHT Four Grain ever again.
Wish I had gone.
Don't get me wrong, the Four Grain is a far superior pick IMO, but Elmer T is on my list of bottles I want to acquire, but not at secondary pricing.

WildSigI saw the Four Grain was a once in a Lifetime bottle from BT.
One of these days I will get down there and go through the gift shop and tour. It'll be a bucket list item for me based on how much I'll spend on the trip in the area.

WildSigPicked up a Redwood Empire Screaming Titan today. I know it's not a true bourbon but still a bottle I've wanted since they released it. It's been a tough one to find, I buy one and walk into another store and they have an entire case on the shelf.
It's that how it goes.

slyguyReceived a text from my son about a local store having received a special delivery.
Drove asap and was able to pick up a Weller Full Proof store pick for $60.
One of my favorites that just never appears in my state.

Nice pull. That's a $300-$400 bottle when I see it in the wild in the South. Cant get it here in FL (unless it's though ABC Liquor vault).
Had some friends over the other night and we were enjoying some 12 year, which was very good.

CPD SIGI was at a friend of mine's garage the other night. Joe is another one that can appreciate a fine bourbon.
Dexter Bourbon. Not half bad!
