It's 92F today here in the Northeast. I'm not ready for the heat. Needed a cube today on the deck while grilling.
Finished off an Old Fitz 11yr, now sipping this 17yr.

Creek Water only because my neighbor gave me 5 cases,and after drinking all my covid everyone is going to die $7000 liquor purchase and still being alive and well from only shots taken was out of a bottle.i refuse to buy any more until it's all gone. It's amazing how good it taste when it's free and the only drink left.
Some oysters, king crab, prime rib, 4 Buffalo Trace and some live music. Nice night out with the family.
Try to lean towards no additive tequila most of the time. It is Mexico so who the fuck knows but… this shit is delicious. 6 yrs in the barrel.
Finally got the 10 yr bourbon pick that was done with the 10 yr WFE rye.
How is the Willet? Does it compare with any other profile? I’ll be in Kentucky 2 weeks then again in July. Heading to a few distilleries and tour Heaven Hill. In July we are doing the Beam tour with Fred and Freddie with lunch. I plan on asking about buying a barrel.
Willett has a flavor unlike any other rye. I can’t explain it but could pick it out of any blind tasting 100/100 times. I really like it and the older the rye the more deep and complex the flavors. Same with their bourbon. It shares that same flavor I can’t describe as the rye does but more subtly with more classic bourbon characteristics. Their cheaper pot still reserve, although neat bottle shape, is no where close to the same as this bottle. I’ve only had 8 and 10 yr bourbons from them so don’t have a ton of experience. I own WFE rye in years 2-4, 8 and 10. Interesting drinking Sid why side. I highly recommend these. These were picked by the owner of of store I frequent in St. Maarten.
Maybe that’s the unique flavor I’m not describing but it’s unique and absolutely delicious IMO. Never thought of it as spearmint.
Beck's Non-Alcoholic........26 months sober and counting.....
This was my dad's favorite. He drank it through WWII. The regular stuff, not the 15yo.
We (my bourbon group) hand selected and bought a barrel a little over a year ago. Private tour, met the owner, we thiefed sample jars. 234 bottles came home 6 weeks later etched with our group name on them. Awesome experience. Expensive too lol
On the road tonight, beginning a long road trip.
Having an oil can tonight. @barneybdb, you don't get to criticize, there's no VB here. Toohey's either.

Jack Daniel’s has been killing it. This bonded and the red labeled triple mash are fantastic, cheap and AVAILABLE! The 10 & 12 are just delicious. Someday I’ll find a Coy Hill.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Raspberry Blackberry flavored carbonated water. Haven't had a drink in 1 yr, 9 days. I don't drink soda or anything with sugar, and try to limit myself to 2 or 3 coffees/caffeine (drinks) a day. Doesn't leave much selection, hah.
I've found I only miss it a bit at certain times, like when having steak, escargot, rack of lamb, scallops...or as I discovered last night, a bonfire. Something about Bourbon just goes so well with a nice fire.

Good on you brother. A lot of folks don’t know their limitations….if it makes you better, awesome. Many a friend on the same track as you, many others who don’t realize they need to do the same
Orlando, but I’m just passing through.
FWIW, the pappy was a huge disappointment and the 2022 Stagg was among the best I’ve had.
Post when you get back!
