I'm gathering more special occasion bottles than I have special occasions for...View attachment 1357283

My solution: every day is a special occasion. You can’t take them with you.

View attachment 1359638Not even close to the best batch of 2023 but this crushes the A124 I just killed

You need the B524.

I haven’t seen that batch yet. Did you find that locally?

 

[Schmendr1ck]

Starting a new one but since it’s cash night, it might be gone by midnight

I went easy at the cash game last night. I had a Woodinville, a KC 12, and a Midwinter Night's Dram. The latter was by far my favorite of the evening.

(Sorry about the chips - the host makes up for it with outstanding whiskey.)

You've seen it. I posted it before in this thread, you just forgot. I've only got a couple of big pours left.

Little warmer upper before tonight’s heavyweight flight…

 

[Billy Baroo]

Hard to go wrong with either of these. Didn’t blind them because I can easily tell them apart. Batch 2 has a glorious black jelly bean note that lingers for days. What I’m really liking is how batch 1 keeps getting better with each pour! Batch 2 has a significant advantage of being open now for 25 months to the 5 that B1 has been open. Both of these are just outstanding ryes but the anisette note in batch 2 is my jam. It reminds me of the Italian anisette pizzelles my grandmother used to make every Christmas. Great times!

 

[Billy Baroo]

I reserved a couple of sips of batch 2 to see how it compares to this. Batch 2 was my all time favorite rye til I tasted this. B2 holds its own but the Owl is just ridiculous. I can’t find even one little thing to nitpick about it. Up to this point, it just might be the best whiskey I’ve ever had of any kind.

Bottle to enjoy on the road

 

[Billy Baroo]

8yr store pick and it’s a real good one! I get a little bit of the black jelly bean in this one that I didn’t notice in the first couple of pours.

Some fresh cracks tonight. I’ve got to compare the Tincup 10yr vs 14yr… for science.

Not gonna lie, I might not get to the Backbone tonight. I’ve been day drinking by the pool for hours. But I’m trying to rally.

This is an ADHD pick that I got from @Pinkdan. Should be great!

Buddy found me two @$30 each. Locally they sell for $70

As they should be.

Don’t sleep on this years B batch. If it had an older age statement I think people would go nuts over this. I ended up with 2 but if I run across another, I’ll grab it. Pretty sure they’re still floating around here.

I accidentally got 3 and killed one on vacation.

I accidentally left the cabinet unlocked before I went to Atlantic City last week and Mrs Baroo purposely did a head count

A conversation a few nights ago started with her asking me if I knew how many bottles I had

I’ve had the same conversation many times as my collection grew. Now I have a room. My wife went in to pour something for herself last night and after 10min, came out with nothing. She couldn’t decide. Lol

She thought I had 800+ bottles and was relieved when I told her I have only 471.

I showed her your OnlyDrams profile and said I was an amateur…for whatever reason, she didn’t seem that amused

 

[Billy Baroo]

Poured another B524 and little miss junior Baroo wanted a taste. She’s 20, a rising junior in college and drinking a Dr Pepper and fireball. There’s been quite a few of my lower proof pours that she liked and could pull out different notes…this one…not so much

I think she has a newfound respect for her old Father Time #bondingfurther

Store pick from the county I live in. Lower proof and only 9 years old, this is very tasty! Classic EC profile but there’s a sweet tea note that I’ve never experienced with regular ECBP. Nice long finish and no real rough edges to it. Another EC that I need to procure another one of.

 

[Billy Baroo]

New Riff has finally made it into my county and the KC Bourbon store pick is the first one I’ve seen around here in almost 5 years. I was pleasantly surprised to see it’s also10yrs old.

Had a really nice whiskey in a bar last month. Called Spot and I think it was the yellow label edition we had that night. Need to find a bottle for the house!

Haven’t pulled the trigger on that one yet since it’s $150 at retail. It’s on my wish list.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Absolutely love this whiskey! Got another 2022 batch coming and I think I’m gonna grab another 2023 batch while they’re still available here.
