The 2010 is incredible

Tonight’s lineup. The Senator and Prideful Goat are both 6yr MGP 95/5 ryes, so I’m looking forward to comparing them. And then I’ll compare the two KCs. 
I better eat some dinner. Giddy up!

Aw yiss...
The Senator is very good. I get like orange slices candy on the nose. The palate is red berry and rye spice. A little thin on the finish.Tonight’s lineup. The Senator and Prideful Goat are both 6yr MGP 95/5 ryes, so I’m looking forward to comparing them. And then I’ll compare the two KCs.

The Prideful Goat is wow. Flavor bomb of graham cracker and toffee and spice. It’s big and bold and dark, but really balanced. Hard to believe it is the same whiskey as the Senator. Maybe it’s the blending and higher proof.

Would love for someone to set me up with any of their cask strength!

Yes. Or I can send a sample.
Do it. It’s a really good price on BO
Heaven Hill BIB and +100bb!
This is pretty decent for the price.

The 2009 is very good. Classic KC rye with that signature Beam nuttiness sprinkled in. With the age, the oak is turnt up, but it’s not too drying.
Now the 2010… fuuuuuuuuuck. It takes like 8 twists and turns. I’m gonna need to spend some quality time with it. I get cherry and Red Hots candy and baking spice. And a weird effervescence on the finish that is so interesting. A good amount of oak that is lovely. I REALLY like this one. Thank you for the sample @Billy Baroo. And thank you @Pinkdan for convincing me to get this bottle from you.

I absolutely love that 2010 KC. I get a ton of black jellybeans/anise on both the palate and the finish. If it’s not the best rye I’ve ever had, it’s easily top 3. Glad you enjoyed it!
Edit…I’m jealous that you have a full bottle of it lol. I had 2 bottles of it and I got half of the second one left.

What's the longest you ever had a bottle last recently? I have an over/under in my head. I'm curious!

The 2010 KC Cask rye is that same bottle. I’ve had it since September 2020

And what was the over/under? Now I’m curious!
My guess is that KC rye I have crushed the over. Since I don’t keep a large collection, most bottles I have don’t last very long.

Lol I noticed you drink quickly. Was going to guess 6 months for a “special” bottle.

6 months is about spot on for bottles that I really want to stretch out and drink sparingly. With NC being the whiskey wasteland that it is, I rarely get bottles that I really consider special enough to stretch out any further.
My entire collection is now going to age untouched for at least 9 months while I attempt to get some health issues under control. I’ll have to live vicariously thru the good people here in this thread

On Islay for the next few days for the festival.
Got started with a small dram of Caol Ila distillery exclusive in the small bar right when you arrive at Askaig. Big fan of the 12 year and loved this cask strength expression.
Spent the afternoon wandering Bowmore and with a few drams at Bowmore distillery including their incredible 25-year distillery exclusive. Not sure I’ll grab a bottle at £490 each but if I don’t it’ll be because I worked hard to resist it.
Finished the day with a couple drams of Jura that were new me. The Bay and Old Tide. I got great notes of caramel and vanilla on both and enjoyed the higher proof and maturity of the Old Tide but it certainly needed some water to open it up which I usually don’t find I need.
Very excited for the open day at Bruichladdich tomorrow and Caol Ila on Monday!

Snap buy at $63!
Another great store pick. Aged ryes (6+ years) at high proof are my jam lately.
Lately?!?

I'm putting another sample pack together tomorrow. Just for the hell of it. I'll make it rye-centric.
