Note: A poker buddy dates the editor of a fancy gourmet magazine, and she will only drink Widow Jane. I think it’s only OK; I like to support local distilleries,* and this is in my region.



* unless they produce absolute garbage, like most small distilleries in the Hudson Valley. WJ and Hillrock are a cut above. Another poker buddy started making brandy on his farm, but is years away from producing anything of quality.

I had a Widow Jane rye that had sediment in it and was undrinkable. Kept it around for a few years so others could drink it on a dare. Finally poured it down the sink. They're sourcing from MGP now, so the new stuff is better.

Picked up this Joseph Magnus Murray Hill Club today ($97). Anyone had it?

I have a bottle of batch 20 and it's pretty good. Not sure if it's $100 good, but definitely better than the regular Magnus. No where close to Cigar Blend, but that's $175.

 

[Klobberer]

So much more palatable at $35 a pop...

 

[Klobberer]

I'm buying them for the flask!

I had a bottle of the MH a few years back, maybe 4 years ago. One of the first batches at around $70 I believe. I enjoyed it but, differently than Klob, I liked the silver label better.

As I said though, it’s been a minute and the batches might have changed quite a bit.

I think I'm going to do a 1792 flight tonight for my tourney. Gotta figure out a good order, thinking BiB > small batch > full proof.

Fire and Angel's Envy. This doesn't suck.

Question. Willett Rye or 17 yr old single malt next? First world problems.

 

[Big Jilm]

This is on in about 10 minutes. Bourbon Junkies vs The Podcask on the Matt Madness Whiskey Tasting Invitational
Should be fun, they have been talking a lot of shit!

 

[Indyscammer]

That Willett is good.

Back atcha.

Surprise house warming gift from @Saoliver Was not expecting a whole damn bottle

So grateful especially since it’s one of my favorites and I have to travel to get it

I really have been wanting to try this but can't find it around here and buying online it seems delivery is as much as the whiskey

 

[gopherblue]

And moving on...

It’s been that kind of week.

That's exactly what I did (and threw an 18 yr on top of those). Why not?

To be honest, the regular Magnus I had was a store pick.

Nope...a mere mortal here.

Has anyone had the Old Forester 150th? Thoughts? Pricing?

I would have paid retail to try it ($150), but passed when I saw it locally for $300.

Best OF I’ve ever tried. If I saw it for retail I’d snap buy

I do believe your order was exactly what I would have done, and will do very soon. How was it (Bib>SB>FP)?

Just the Willett for me. It is VERY good. Can't get Old Carter here and obviously Old Rip is a tough find. I will buy if I find it. I DO have a Pappy 15 year that I am excited about. All that said, you didn't mix any of those with coke, right? Just saw your attachment photo and I hope none of those 3 whiskeys are in that glass with what I am assuming is coke! Nice bottles, sir!

Perfect order IMHO, very enjoyable flight (helped to make up going desperately card dead in the tourney and running pocket snowmen into pocket aces).

And also reminded me both how fantastic this lineup is and how ridiculous of a value the 1792 small batch is at sub $30 a bottle.
