My Dad enjoys it. That and the famous grouse are for when he stops by. The Glenmorangie Lasanta is my future scotch so far.
MM day while we wait out this NorEaster....15" they calling for.
One of my all time favorite cask strength bourbons. Too bad they don't make this anymore. They replaced it with a 108.8 barrel...
Generator and snow blower are ready for yet another winter storm about to hit. They are saying a bad ice storm this time but they make it up as they go.. Is it spring yet?
124yrs ago today, March 3, 1897 the Bottled in Bond act was signed into law. Lobby and promoted for it to pass by Colonel Taylor himself. Cheers to the Colonel!
Try these if you haven't, works VERY well with tequila.Old fashioned, but with a nice anejo tequila vs rye...to kick off my 4-day weekend
nice change from a couple weeks ago...
Jerry Thomas Bitters – The Bitter Truth Bitters, Liqueurs and Spirits
The Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas Bitters are a hommage to the most famous bartender of the 19th century and are a complex old fashioned aromatic bitters.

Agave nectar is also a nice substitute for sugar or simple syrup.
Been trying to find me some Old Elk wheat and Woodinville Barrel proof... not a fan of Old Elk small batch but I hear the wheat is great. Huge fan of all things Woodinville...
Have you bought a bottle of the new 108.8 Belle Meade? I too was disappointed with it on first taste and put the cork back in. Tried it again a few weeks later and found that it was GREATLY improved, and pretty much tasted the same as the old batch. Apparently the new stuff needs some air in the bottle to open up properly.
I have one right now along with the old handwritten bottles... its not bad at all...but it's not a delicious gem like the old ones...at least for me.
Our local bourbon group has a pick of each right now. I really like the Woodinville, the Old Elk wheated isn't really my thing.
Thats awesome. Love all my Woodinville rye and bourbon. I felt the same way about the small batch Old Elk
Well, at least your day ended on a good note!Tonight is just 3 or four fingers,, ok, a whole damned fist of Buffalo Trace. The regular stuff. It was a bad day.
I think Buffalo Trace is just fine; enough rye in the mashbill to make it interesting and nothing else that upsets the balance.
Finished up with one of my "Lazy Bastiche" Cocktails.
Old Fashioned with puddle of simple syrup, about 8 dashes of Regan's No. 6 Orange Bitters, 2 Oz of Old Grand-Dad 100 Pf BiB, fill with good Kold-Draft type large ice cubes.

Inspired to mix similar, with the last of the Rittenhouse Rye and Angostura orange. OGD BiB is an exceptional value, need another bottle myself...
Nice. I haven't had the "12" in a long time. I have some of the A'bundh. BTW...try a Glencairn glass.
The youngest and the oldest of their standard line are the best ones. 1840 Original (which can be hard to find) and Selection Des Anges.
I like them all but those were the two standouts for me.
Finishing up the evening with a glass from Batch #3 (not a typo LoL)
There isn't a "good" liquor store withing forty miles, but I'll keep an eye out for them.
I was able to find both online at the whiskyexchange.com though.
Have a bunch but gravitated to a simple Libbey Gibraltar single rocks/old fashioned glass. They have some heft to them are easier to clean and even a 1 Oz pour is easy to eyeball and doesn't look tiny.
As in Libbey Glass Co? Right down the road from me..........no shortage of types of glasses to drink from....sometimes I just pour a shot into a shot glass and slowly sip from it for about a half hour. I have been tasting better quality whisk(e)ys a little over a year now and have found the flavors to range from subtle to bold! I see some of the booze other booze hounds post and I think....yup, gots to try that!
