Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

[padom]

Sipping on Stagg batch 16, 17 and 18 right now.

I'm hunting down batches 23a and 23b and 24a right now. I had one of them last Friday night and man it was right there with some good old George T!

 

[padom]

Forgot I had these Jack Rose Willett and Weller sample packs. Brought them to drink tailgating at the Phillies game!

 

[JerkyFreak]

Oelofberg brandy and full-sugar Coca Cola.

For those of you that have visited South Africa on a hunting trip, you may have a faint recollection of the good times getting hammered on this specific drink. You would definitely not forget the hangover the next day.

 

[db2000]

Some Quebec City finds.

 

[BLEE]

Made the mistake of buying Michter's Bourbon instead of Rye. The bourbon's not bad and it's easy sippin'. It'll do.

 

[db2000]

Peerless DO Rye is fantastic. Smoke isn’t too shabby either.

 

[ColbyLang]

Store pick Buffalo Trace while cooking. Happy Monday

 

[padom]

Just poured this WFE 10yr purple top @db2000 sent me. Gotta forget this shoulder pain before the Phillies and Eagles games start!!

 

[Labanaktis]

That’s a great Pour right there!

Dammit! I’m going to pop another 4yr rye now…. Thanks ….

Here we go.

I tried some pumpkin beer and it is gross. I may drink some Knob Creek 9 to get the taste out of my mouth.

 

[Labanaktis]

I would suggest mouth wash and brushing…. Don’t waste that wonderful Knob Creek on that. Just save it for the morning….

I’ve got some everclear that would counteract that taste!

My local gas station ran out of beer. It's either Busch light , or Jameson. Wife won't let me drink whiskey!

 

[Labanaktis]

Maybe she can’t resist you with a little “wild in your eye” from the whiskey???

Just say’n … I have experienced this before….

 

[padom]

SFTB 128.8 8/19/19 pour after a Stagg 24a pour while watching the Phillies. Cheers

 

[Grizz3153]

Oban Distiller's Edition and Oban 14 last night. I prefer Oban 14 especially since it has gone down in price.

 

[Grizz3153]

Too bad I didn't see that before purchasing the "beer".

 

[padom]

Just cracked this and sat down to watch Penn State and the Phillies. Cheers

 

[XTREM HTR16]

Time for some football watching

 

[padom]

I have a spare Stagg 24a if anyone is looking PM me. Paid over retail but was cheaper than the $50 for 2oz pours at my local bar. Hahah

 

[Turkeytider]

Just this minute poured a glass of Robert Mondavi Vint Cabernet.

 

[BLEE]

Russell's Reserve 10 year old Small Batch. Only 90 proof, but that helps keep me out of trouble. Smooth like a 10yr should be. Vanilla, slightly sweet, light citrus, leather and a little oak.
Not bad. Not bad, at all.

 

[Grizz3153]

Kentucky mule w Knob Creek 9 as the bourbon.

I'm normally a scotch and rum drinker but decided to start a journey down the tequila road.

Was on a cycle ride in central Wisconsin and stopped at liquor store in Portage Wi. The owner offered a sample of this and it's delicious. Aged 18 months in Blantons barrels.
Corazon also has offerings aged in EH Taylor and Eagle Rare barrels. Will have to look for those.

If you like that one, check these out. They’re levels ahead.

I have a few of these but never opened any of them. That good?

The WLW definitely is. I like trying the different Expressions side by side.

I have WLW and GTS and a Blantons. I'll have to open them up

 

[XTREM HTR16]

I’ve apparently missed the boat on those, will have to look for some.

Need some recommendations: I have a guy’s trip in a few months. I want to bring a nice rye. Thinking $600-1000 price range.

Last year I did a michter’s toasted that was amazing.

Any thoughts are appreciated

Honestly Michters Barrel Strength Rye is one of my top rye favorites. Delicious. I stock lots of backups on the shelf.. bought a case of it last year. Retail you can find them for $70... secondary they are $175 +/-

 

[db2000]

Greatly enjoying a sample of Remus Gatsby 15 yr. Very rich and tasty. Thanks!

 

[Labanaktis]

Thanks db2000! This is great

And Eagle Rare bourbon is a hell of a lot easier to find than Blanton’s, and about half the folks I give it to on a blind taste test actually like it better.

Michters Barrel Strength Rye or Barrel Strength Toasted Rye are great recommendations…

If you want something a little more “Fancy” I’d go with Thomas H Handy BTAC. Love the shit outta that stuff. The think they can be found for $500ish on the secondary…

Second on a Handry rye or this years Willett Family Estate Rye. Should be ballpark $200

 

[Labanaktis]

Send them my way for that please

Which WFE Rye? the WFE 11yr Rye "Unobtanium" I got last month was more than $200 and I see it going for around $1000 on secondary

The one Louisiana got wasn’t the same. The purple top Bourbon was $449 and I missed my chance and getting one to pass along. The rye wasn’t Unobtanium. It was a Wines Unlimited pick. Retailed $190 here

How old? I've seen the 6yr for that much

 

[Labanaktis]

You guys would freak out if you seen how bad it is in Michigan. Anything allocated is a blood bath

 

[ColbyLang]

It’s a 7

Try that 11yr I sent you yet? Thoughts?

 

[db2000]

This is delicious. So is the bourbon

 

[db2000]

Try that 11yr I sent you yet? Thoughts?

Haven’t cracked it yet! I’m gonna compare with the 10 at some point. I suspect pretty similar. I just love their flavor profile. I have a 2 and 3 yr also I’ve been sipping from time to time.

Picked up Weller C.Y.P.B. today. Nearly impossible score for my area. Will crack it open this weekend with a couple of friends. This evening I think the Laphroig 10 year in the background is whispering to me.

I like it for $15/pour but not blown away by any means. Definitely a good score to find locally. Not worth the high secondary IMO, which could mean nothing to your taste obviously. I really like the full proof store picks I’ve tried and the SiB was pretty good too at $15/pour.
