Time to revisit the infinity bottle…2oz of 115 proof goodness. I still think it’s the best bottle I own! View attachment 913615

I'm curious on strategies for an infinity bottle. I tried it in my whiskey infancy, and I was just throwing the end of every bottle in there. Being generous, it was meh.

How do folks in this thread decide what to add (or not to add) to your infinity bottle?

My first attempt was meh as well, so don’t beat yourself up.

After I kinda knew what I was hoping to achieve, my second attempt really took form, I love barrel strength bourbons and ryes, so I started my second attempt with 2 ounce pours of only high proof offerings that I liked. I try not to duplicate anything that has already been added. I figure if I liked it, it’ll play nice with others I liked as well. If I have one that I don’t care for as much, I just leave it out. Adding new pours also depends on how frequently you take a pour from your bottle. I try to take/add a 2oz pour each month, so I have to carefully choose what I think it needs added next. Sometimes I think it needs more rye, sometimes it needs a bourbon. It’s a slow evolution but one that has been fun to taste the changes over the months.

I’ve been really lucky with this infinity bottle. It has yet to take a step backwards, but as long as I continue to add pours from bottles that I really like, it should only get better! I also started a Ryefinity rye only bottle that still needs a few more pours until it’s ready to sample. It smells amazing already…I can’t wait for it to get filled.

I met with the distillery rep. To much stuff to type on the phone and PCF is blocked at work.

Short of it is

WE ARE A GO!

I will be sending A PM with everyone on the list to hash out some details that are needed and provide full information.

Guess I'd better try some New Riff and see if I even like it.... :whistle: :whistling:;)
 
OK I can only add 11 people on a private message, how do we want to handle discussing the details of this?
 
Either divide and conquer the list or get a big group text message thread would be my suggestion

I wouldn’t mind anyone involved in this having my phone number…hell, it’s a private number and I still get shitloads of spam calls on it

That looks familiar :sneaky:

Thoughts so far?

Just cracked it and took my first sip. I think it needs to open up a bit. The Crossroads was better, but again....this is going to open up and I think/hope it will be better. It is continuing to evolve even in the last few minutes since I posted. Man, the finish is LONG!!

Thanks again for scoring me the whole line up! I can't wait to try the 9 year and especially, the 17 year!!!!

edit: Better than Crossroads, for sure. This is amazing. It just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to try it in a few weeks, damn!! I can't get honey out of my mind here.....
