I had one of these that tasted exactly like Cocoa Puffs and it was incredible. Most unique bottle I think I’ve ever had.

This is the only bottle of whiskey I have that is distinctly red.

It's got a pleasant, sweet ester-y nose that, even after drinking 3/4ths of the bottle, I still can't adequately describe.

Taste starts sweet, a little fruity, and has a strong bite of rye and booze, then turns into a mouthful of chewing tobacco.
 
Are there any permitted additives for making bourbon? Tequila has four categories of additives, and it's a pretty big deal to some to only drink additive-free tequila. I'm just wondering if bourbon has anything similar going on.

straight bourbon is supposed to be the only thing you can add is water.

otherwise 2.5% iirc can be a lot of things
 
Just learned that my local store is getting a few bottles of EH Taylor small batch and EH Taylor straight rye. I’ve never had either … any advice between the two?
 
Dinner last night, after arriving in DC. Decent assortment, many outrageous prices (e.g., Elmer T. Lee at $89), no Van Winkles at all, straight 1 oz pours, absurdly weak on Scotch -- but I guess that's why they spell it their name with an "e".

I enjoyed the Ardbeg 10, because it's one of the few whiskies I don't have to share with my wife. She says Ardbeg's flavor reminds her of library paste (whatever that tastes like???). The Jefferson's Small Batch was much more to her liking.

Wednesday looks like a much better day to return...half price all day.

Those prices are rough. Half price is where they should be.

Woah! There are much cheaper spots in DC. Present Company Public House had Blantons for $15. Bardstown Disco for $20. And SUPER generous pours, not that 1oz stuff.

I’ve been reducing my opened bottles . I’ve finished about 20 bottles over the last two months (most were less than half). I’m down to about 40 bottles opened and I have about 75 unopened but a good 60 of them are back ups and top shelf bottles I want to drink. I think I’m done for a while. I’m kinda getting back into beers. Lol
