Last nights offerings
 
I may have. Let me check

Nope, don't have Batch 12.

About to kill this New Riff Single Barrel, which I really enjoy. Pulled out my Good Old Times Barrel Strength Toasted Cigar Blend 8/24 Kobe/Snoop Special edition pick to sip on. Shit is ssooo good. Wish I bought more of these last year. Cheers🥃🥃

Other fun thing to do with Rittenhouse; 2 parts Rit BIB 1 part Old Forester Signature (the standard 100 pf offering).
You now have a really close approximation of the original Pennco/Michter's whiskey.

Given all the higher proof Old Forrester variants now, might be real interesting to try it with the Pikesville.

Unless you are old the only real Michter's anyone has tasted the past several decades is the A.H. Hirsch 16. That was a $60-65 bottle for a very long time before things went stupid.

***ROFL, even more stupid, seeing stuff online at $20,000 for it now, it was good, it wasn't THAT good.

Hirsch makes a 7.5 year finished in cognac casks. 120ish proof. About $160 a bottle. Phenomenal bourbon.

I’ve got 2 Michter’s 10s. One unopened, one with about 2oz left in it, those are special occasion bourbons

Great to know. I’ll try one of my OF SiB and Pikesville and how it comes out!

My dad is in his late 80s. I get him a bottle of bourbon every Christmas, a tradition for many years now. Typically, I get the more commonly available stuff, like Knob Creek 12, or the various Makers. I'm not a bourbon aficionado, although I do like bourbon and can tell the difference between the "good" and "bad" stuff.

He likes the Knob Creek 12 but isn't picky. I guess at his age he just thinks it all gets you to the same place 🤣.

Looking to get a something a bit more unique but also a known quantity. Any suggestions for around 150?

If he likes the Beam flavor profile one of the Booker's or Baker's will be in his wheelhouse. Maker's is a wheater so one of the fancier age stated Old Fitzgerald if available in your area might be a nice one.

Not sure what kinda selection you have access to but if you’re seeing KC12 then possibly KC15 or Horse Soldier Reserve cask strength. That’s a great one. Whistle Pig 12 yr Old World Rye if you wanna change it up. It’s delicious.
