Needed another rye in the rotation! This one is still my favorite Sagamore bottle to date. Got one more behind it in the vault. Definitely have to put some into the Ryefinity bottle!

I’m gonna bring down some bottles to share to the meet up this week. Some folks are interested in scotch so looking for some advice/affirmation. Sounds like highland is covered with Oban, and I know @detroitdad likes the Islay.

My “bag” only fits 4 bottles and don’t worry about the limited stuff. I’ve got one of each already bunkered.

Speyside sherry finished easy sipper.
Cask strength Lagavulin for that classic Islay.
Octomore to demonstrate what peat can really do.
Compass box orchard house which smells just like apples and is totally out of the box as a blended scotch and is my wild card.

I could see replacing the compass box with a different compass box, spice tree or menagerie, or something even more main stream scotch but I’m pretty happy with the other 3.

Thoughts?

Damnit damnit damnit Dave, stop posting this nonsense. Now you have me contemplating zipping down to Virginia Friday morning, getting rip roaring drunk Friday afternoon/evening and coming home Saturday morning.............

Ack!! I was so looking forward to this limited release from my favorite brewery in town. I nosed it and couldn't believe it. Swirled it for a few minutes and took a sip. Notes of balls covered in vomit. Dumped it out immediately, bummer. They should stick to beer, absolute TRASH.

 

[Big Jilm]

Ok, this is better. Disco 5. Thanks again @joeyshin

 

[Billy Baroo]

Notes of balls covered in vomit.

I’ve had my fair share of bad hooch before, but I can honestly say that’s not a note I’ve ever experienced. Sucks when a bottle you’re excited about is absolute shit

Since it is a local one, did you go and talk to them about it?

I’m thinking of bringing a yama18

trying the last sample
Nulu 6 year toasted single barrel

No. It is their first ever release. They make beer, not whiskey.

my question is how you have a familiarity with that particular tasting note...

I've had some wild wild life!

My favorite local craft brewery delved into distilling gin and vodka…neither of which I drink with any frequency. Friends of mine that do say they taste like they were filtered thru an overweight catchers jockstrap. If you’re a brewer, stick to beer SMH

What’s the order, gents?

(I mean, I know what I ordered, but you can play along too.)

 

[FDLmold]

Weller 12 for $16 is not awful.

Weller 12. Finish the bottle

 

[Saoliver]

Buffalo Trace $12 vs Weller 12 $16!

Hahahahaha

 

[Billy Baroo]

I’d pay the $16 for the E.H. Taylor as well. It’s rarer than a hens tooth around my parts. But I’d also grab a Weller 12 in a heartbeat!

Does that say WLW for $13?? Or is that SR...

 

[wolfpack]

pretty sure that is for special reserve

 

[Big Jilm]

Ok, 12 it is. But that's misleading!

I'd say red breast, but it looks like it starts with a 2X and it doesn't matter what that X is, it is too much.

 

[joeyshin]

Same with Blantons at 22. So w12 @16 is no brainer

 

[Billy Baroo]

PGA playoff pour…

 

[Jonesey07]

Weller 12 all day

 

[gopherblue]

I’m sure it must be SR. But dammit, now I need to go back and check.

Ding ding ding!

 

[Billy Baroo]

Yes I just opened this tonight…don’t you judge

 

[Poker Zombie]

I read it as well. I am out for the tasting unfortunately. I will say that whoever is shipping can ship mine and @Poker Zombie together, and possibly even @Pinkdan.

Brilliant idea. Anyone know where to get heavy duty shipping boxes? Those help when shipping multiple bottles. And always tape all the corners of the box too! The worst is seeing a box break open

Depending on the pick-up day, I may just drive up for the Middle Tennessee contingent. I really gotta hunt through the emails.
