I’m making an exception. This neck pour is not going into the infinity bottle.

Willett Blackened X is everywhere here... not interested in it at $150 (kinda crazy IMO), but my friend went for it...
Got a sample.
It is... good/I liked. Not what I expected, better/surprising. Won't get a bottle for the cost, but will certainly enjoy said friend's when offered.
I got strawberry, brown sugar flavor, mint/spice finish.

Going Stagg tonight.
I’ve been wanting to do this flight for a while. Luckily, found a batch 16 last week.
All are fantastic. Vanilla, caramel, cherry and some pepper.
Ranking:
3rd Place: Batch 15. More raspberry and cherry forward. Reminds me of a higher proof OF 1920.
2nd Place: Batch 16. More caramel, but cherry, vanilla and pepper there too.
1st Place: Batch 14. Vanilla bomb with caramel and cherry. The nose is amazing and the closest to the GTS 2018 that I had earlier tonight.

How do you manage to pour the exact amount out of each bottle?
I measure. 2oz neck pours into the infinity bottle. These were 1oz pours.

Describe it in excruciating detail please
It’s fantastic. I can tell you where you can order some. But I’ll let Flaviar give you the details. Or read this review.

Calumet 15yr for $150 out the door. Yay or nay?
Haven’t tried it yet. But I almost bought one today. My local bar has the 14 and 15. I need to try them.
A few of my open whiskey bottles have this black stuff at the bottom kinda floating. Looks like fungus or something. Anyone else have this? What the heck.
I’ve heard of black stuff all around distilleries,
maybe that’s what this is too.

I'd say your whiskey caught the 'Rona, but no living thing can tolerate a 50%+ ethanol environment, so my best guess is unfiltered barrel char.
Interesting. You might be right. I hope that’s all it is

Day before Fryeday! I’m sure there are better ryes out there, but I’ve not yet found one that I like better.
So a little while ago, I said in another thread that I was done with the internet for tonight. I lied, but only because I need your help, PCF whisk(e)y crew!
One of my coworkers is retiring next week, and I've been asked to help select a bottle of Bourbon as a gift for him. Unfortunately, I really don't know his tastes, and I can't really ask him without the jig being up. So I've been asked to select a bottle, and here's what I've got to work with:

- Price range should be $200 or less.
- It should be readily available at the local big box (Total Wine). I don't think the person buying the bottle is willing to make a 90-minute round trip to my local whiskey hole.
- When asked what kind of Bourbon he likes, my co-worker's answer was "not gut-wrenching."
I don't know what this means.
Here's what I've put on the short list so far:
- Calumet Farm Single Rack Black 15 Year ($140)
- St. Augustine The Saint ($200)
Not sure if gut-wrenching means he doesn't like high proof stuff, but you have some pretty nice bottles available at that TW (some in store and not available online.. if they actually have them in store).

Haven't had the Kentucky owl products or that St Augustine one, but maybe someone can opine on those.
They have a Cream of Kentucky online, might not in stock yet - i have the 11.5yr (batch 3 i think?); it's ok, not sure if i'd gamble on that one
Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend. The store says “in store pick up only” but it’s unlikely that they have it.So a little while ago, I said in another thread that I was done with the internet for tonight. I lied, but only because I need your help, PCF whisk(e)y crew!

St. Augustine is local and very limited. I haven't had it.

He would probably say Calumet 15 is "so smooth" and like it a lot. If you can get the Cigar Blend, grab that for yourself....or for me please.

I have dibs on the next cigar blend
Are you finding it difficult to make it through all the Blanton's to spell BLANTONS with the horsey corks? Do you care at this point? I have 6 and a half bottles to go, and it is a bottle I seldom reach for. I am thinking of aborting the mission....too much better whiskey out there to drink!
I love Blanton’s, but I don’t drink it often. It’s one of my wife’s favorites.
I’ll take your Ns and S.

Blanton's is ok for the $70. A lot like ECBP, which is now also $70. They are both worth about what you pay for them. I bought a Blanton's and an extra several months later, at retail. I finally opened one, had some, it's good, but if somebody bought the extra from me, I would not be sad. No way I'm buying eight of these to get all the horsey corks.

Almost bought one today. $125 plus tax. $156 or so total. Should I?
Absolutely not. I got you

After trying it, I bought a backup. Much better than the 14, which I love.
