Happy Birthday!! I've heard of them. That's about it.
I'll be picking up something for my Birthday. Undecided as too what exactly.

Mother in law sent me $100 and some Wilsons Pinconning cheese for my bday. She likes me for some reason.

Today’s find for the collection!
I really like my bottle, but I hope you didn’t pay much above retail.
Paid a little extra and finally found this one today.

Paid $39.99 each, not too bad.

So I turned 45 today. Don’t really feel it. I posted several pages ago about setting some goals for myself and drinking bourbon as I reach them. To celebrate, because corn whiskey is effin tasty. Anyway, that process started this week, which is a good thing, because I keep adding tiers to my goal chart.
I wish some of you lived closer. I’d have you over to bust open some of these bottles. Goal one is close and will be the 1792 Full Proof.
Now a little about my palate. I can remember what I like and don’t like, but all that “hint of vanilla” and “whiff of persimmon and ambergris” snooty falooty stuff goes right over my head. Comparisons going back in time are impossible for me. So I intend to open these and pair them with worthy opponents, first neat , then on ice. I will seek advice from the crowd on who the opponents should be. For example, I can compare the 1792 Full Proof to either an EC BP A119 or a Jack Daniels barrel strength. Tier two will be to open the three Makers Marks (regular, 101, cask strength). Tier three might be the McKenna BiB versus a 2019 Dickel BiB. You get the idea.
I think it will be fun. There are still three openings in my tier schedule. One I can find locally. The other two I might need some assistance. Happy drinking y’all.

Just realized I already have the T. So it is just the first N - (right legs closer together). I bet it will be like finding Boardwalk in the Mcdonald's Monopoly games LOL. I am not buying any Blanton's until it is THAT N cork!!
Are the Ns different?
Yes! I have the one pictured above, need the one belowAre the Ns different?
To be honest, I am looking at all the corks and trying to imagine a horse running.........Not sure that's how it works!!!!

Does bourbon received as a gift taste better? I’ll let you know.

Very slowly apparently. I love the old bottles vs the new ones

Agreed. And WL Weller and Sons instead of Buffalo Trace Distillery. I think this bottle was from 2013 or 2014.

I've never had this pour before. I really like it. Extremely smooth for a 131 proof

It is the bourbon that got me into bourbon.

Free usually tastes better, unless it's something like this:
(unless you have a thing for sweet cherry pie).

Ok, I did not realize that Noah's Mill and Rowan's Creek were Willett. I thought I owned ZERO Willett. That said I lean toward Noah's, it is just plain better imo. Can you guys tell me which Willet is the BEST? I would like to try more that are not so nutty and cinnamony which is a word I may have just made up. --- edit: My wife corrected me, the correct descriptor is Red Hots (the candy)
Also, I saw several Joseph Magnus bourbons on the shelf the other day....which one do I buy? THANKS WHISKEY BRO BRO's!!
