Got some bottles that need to go to a good home. I need to step back from the high ABV stuff that I typically enjoy. It’s all bourbons and ryes since I’ve lost my taste for it after my stroke, but this is way more about my long term health than my enjoyment of an occasional pour.

PM me for details if any of these catch your eye. Here’s a chance to restock some cabinet staples at or below retail. If anyone has any secondary HSIs they want to trade, I’m your huckleberry.

Edit…all that’s left now is listed below…

Russell’s Private Barrel Selection
Knob Creek Single Barrel Select
Old Soul Single Barrel Store Pick
Founders Cask Strength Series
Old Scout Single Barrel Bourbon
Sagamore Spirit Cask Strength
Old Scout Single Barrel Rye

Wish you were able to still enjoy but glad you’re recovering. GLWS. I may take some off your hands but I need to inventory mine first.

If you’re in the neighborhood, stop in for a snort.

Found at Ralph’s of all places in Torrance, CA earlier this week. $96 for those nearby.

Bottle down, thankfully I have backups! This is a great pour, rich blackberry/raspberry jam, fig newtons and spicy rye notes with a great finish.

That was a good one. IIRC, I got rye and proof, and maybe age… but never thought pot still. It was wild. I gave it a 9.0.

Tonight’s line up. Coy Hill will be bottle killed tonight surrounded by family.

 

[Irish]

Damnit I forgot just how good these bottles are. So many layers of flavor once you acclimate to the proof.

The nose on the JD12 is fantastic. Like a strawberry danish with a lot of almond. The palate is more of the same, with a huge oak presence and great proof spice. So well balanced.

My wife tasted this and the JD10 and said, “This is WAY better than the other one.”

First pour was rare breed. For second pour I went with an rabbit hill and frankly it tasted terrible. Just weak sauce. I made a face and my wife says “pour it out, life is too short to drink shitty bourbon”

And so now my redo is this:

Drank some Iowa whiskey to celebrate the Iowa State victory in the Pop Tarts bowl! Need to go buy some cinnamon roll pop tarts tomorrow...

Of the five 2020 to 2022 MM limited releases, these are the “worst” three, though still quite good. FAE 01 should be a permanent MM offering, and it is a crime against bourbon that it isn’t.

I see that you wasted no time cracking that

Fantastic bottle! I saved my opened one just in case the taste returns.

I have one of these somewhere in my cabinet. I need to open it.

Up my alley and directly up my ass!

I’ve got 3 different Obtainium Ryes right now. I plan to compare them neat and in old fashioneds. I’ve got until Tuesday night to get it done before I’m dry for two months.

14yr at 144 proof
14yr at 128.8 proof
26yr at 154.6 proof

Wish my liver luck!

Damn, this kicks up front, but calms down very quickly to yield a crazy unique profile. A soft, creamy fruit cup with vanilla, surrounded by the typical Laphroiag smoke and brine and spice.

Gifts from my son. He was on the tasting trip to select this single barrel Eagle Rare. It was 12 years, 8 mos old and it's incredible!

A little nerve settler as fantasy football championship week nears its end! Cheers!

I'm gonna go dry until I drop 40! It's been a rough year. Hopefully 6000 kCal/week will get the job done by St. Paddy's day.

A little spicy at first, but I got distracted and it took about 90 minutes to finish. Even after the ice had melted, it was still tasty. That proof held up.

 

[Klobberer]

Next up...Rare Breed Rye...112.2 proof. Did I mention that I'm not working next week?
