Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

[91Eunozs]

Well, decided to go with a recommendation a page or so back, and try my go-to cocktail of choice lately (dirty mexican) with pickle juice instead of olive brine:

surprisingly, not bad at all.

Still prefer the olive brine for my palate though.

 

[candyx]

Guess I should'a stayed home instead. Figure the Weller Full Proof I'm drinking would sell for $200 at that fucking place...

130ish proof. Very good. As was the 1969 10 year old bottled Old Crow in that chessman

I squirreled away multiples from 2005-2012. Those are so good. Also a bargain at $28 back then.

Went all 4 Barrel Kings tonight, all were great and a couple were exceptional.

I just finished a Wild Turkey MK Unforgotten, Old Fitz and Nelson Bros Black Briar samples. The WT MK was probably my fav but all were really good. I’ve not had any of them. Thanks for the samples

Rainy night at The Lead Farm.

 

[db2000]

Decided to crack this and see what it’s all about. I want to send a buddy a sample so figured I better get it open.
Definitely many levels up from the 15 yr they’re hawking n the ABC store on the reg. Heavy wood but otherwise delicious and complex. Lower proof and easy neat. Unclear how you label 46% “cask strength” but I call bullshit on that.

Jalapeño infused tequila.. did half a handle and it’s a week into it… Just had a shot and damn it’s tasty!

How was the 11th release? Heard good things but this is a try before I buy one

 

[db2000]

Finally cracked it to share with a friend I’ve never met in person
It’s delicious and drinks smooth as silk. It’s crazy. Lots of cinnamon and sweetness.

 

[ColbyLang]

A little pricey, but very good. 75% of it is 13 year old KY bourbon. (I’d think Russells), 21% 10 year KY bourbon and the balance is their own juice

Well guys, PLEASE have a Pour this weekend for my Grandfather. He passed on 3/6 at the age of 83. He was born in Lithuania in 1940. The Russians took their farm around 1944 so they went west. After the war ended they found refuge in a Displaced Persons Camp in Bad Worishofen Germany. They were sponsored to the states around 1948. It was a hard few years but they made a life of it. He was Drafted in 1965 and served in Vietnam from September 10, 1965 to August 21, 1967. He served under the 6/27th Feild Artillery on the 8" howitzer's and 175mm Long range. He was under both A-Btry & B-Btry. He NEVER talked about it, but he was in some shit at times.



Cheer's to Eugene Aristidas Karosas.

 

[db2000]

Sorry to hear. Here’s to him and grateful for his service.

How is the 10 year? I’m waiting for an 8 year to be shipped.

 

[Labanaktis]

I really like them, also have a 10yr rye at 120 proof. I like the rye slightly better but I seem to like higher proof anyways. I am starting to appreciate the 100ish stuff more and more thou.

I think most people either like Willett or it’s just not their jam.

 

[PusherX11]

I really enjoyed their 4 year rye I believe it was 104. I find myself liking the 100+ proof as well. The 8 year I have coming was bottled at 126.8.

If you liked the 4 yr you’ll really appreciate the 8 and up. It gets a lot more complex IMO.
