Seriously, though, me, I'd keep it, but I love that particular expression.

You, trade it for 3:1 or better BTAC.

Went to a PVW tasting Saturday night with a friend and my son. $80 head got to try each of the following




All were very good to spectacular. I had high hopes for the 15 as that is what everyone seemed to rave about. It was excellent but for me the 20 stole the show. It had a much more unique flavor profile and after trying to pinpoint it as being close to a fennel or licorice, my friend nailed it with describing it as having a hint of anise. Not overwhelming, just lingering in the finish.

The 12 was my second favorite. So smooth and easy to drink.

For nosing the 23 stole the show by a good margin. The taste was the oakiest, understandably, but the nosing had almost a very mellow pipe smoke flavor. It was so good that we kept finding ourselves pulling our glass out of our pockets afterwards and taking nose hits off of the residue in the glass (it was the last pour)

They had a lottery for the few bottles they had, a few 10's, 2 12s and a 15. The 10s were $150, the 12 $99 (?) and the 15 $249. I didn't win but that was ok because I'd already picked up a 10 a couple of weeks ago for under $90.

The next day I got a call from another liquor store telling me I'd one a lottery and there was a 10 waiting for me there. $62 I sent my wife to pick it up and she thanked them. The lady said "well I looked at his rewards account and,well, we like to take care of those who take care of us." oops! Maybe if I step it up in 2018 I'll get a 12 or 20.

I feel like I've done well for myself in my first year of whiskey hunting. Some good finds including two Pappy's where some see none for years.
