It arrived. Looking forward to cracking this one tonight.
Last GTS I had was 2019 and its been gone for almost a year. The same flavor profile is there...but there is a new apricot, fruit twist. Unbelivable. One of the few unicorns that actually lives up to its hype year in and year out (well other than 2021...which there was no GTS release. haha). Cheers
Awesome! I am pulling strings to get a bottle this year. Opening my first BTAC 2018 GTS on New Years. Really looking forward to it.
Tonight, back to my TX Whiskey. I already shared a pic but I will do it again. I drink it neat, with a Big K diet soda chaser. Other times I have made a Bannockburn. A bannockburn is a scottish drink wherein I take a drink shaker and I put in ice cubes. A dash of pepper, a few jolts of worcestershire sauce, maybe a bit of no salt (I have high blood pressure and I am on a limited sodium diet), 2 jiggers of whiskey or scotch whiskey, and fill the rest with low sodium vegetable juice. To quote the Cars, "Shake it up!" Then pour into a tumbler and drink with a straw.
And yes, this is similar to a Bloody Mary. I deemed it to now have the name Bloody Mary, Queen of Scots. And yes, I was proud of myself for that.

Happy New Year fellas! Been waiting a few months to open this and it really is fantastic!

Wow, very good. The nose is sweet, vanilla and oak. Pallette is smooth, carmel, apple a little banana. Medium length finish of smooth vanilla. At $32 I think it's a great buy. So far I am enjoying my Rum journey.
About to throw a bone in New York on a cast iron pan. Splash of pork to celebrate.
Using the copy of the DROS for my new (to me, obviously) full house Garthwaite Colt Gold Cup as a coaster.

Ringing in the New Year with Col E H Taylor Small Batch.
Edit: Decided to switch it up a bit with some Blanton’s. We just hit midnight here in CST zone. Happy New Year everyone!

I was fortunate enough to be around when this was opened!
Finished off the Scotch last night and had a sample of Willet which was inspected by Morbo and Smudge......The Willet was quite tasty. I have not tried any Rye until that small sample. I should have bought the big bottle when I had the chance! All the best to all goon squad members in '23!
Willett is one of my favorites. Very unique profile. I was lucky to find a 10 year.
Points for having a Marshall amp in the back. I happen to have nowadays a Mustang GTX 100 (came with the footboard.) I always find an amp and adjust the features to get that sound I fell in love with so long ago. The sound of Nugent's Gibson ES-335 "Birdland" on "Cat Scratch Fever."
Just cracked the 21 M10B and damnnnn is it tasty. Love me some M10.
Gonna Crack this 19 SFTB after. First drink in a little while, was sick the past week. Cheers

Nice choices. Love those two. I have a couple’12 SFTB that survived hurricane Irma in a small grocery in St. Maarten. I think I may prefer Gold better though.
