What seagrass release are they up to now? You have to zoom WAY in on the green grass on the far right.

The one I got is Batch 10…not sure if it’s the most recent though.

Our daughter is home visiting on her fall break. She wanted Culver’s for dinner and there just happens to be an ABC store literally right beside it and well, y’all all know what happened next. I might have helped “suggest” that she really wanted Culver’s

In all honesty, this is the bottle I specifically was looking for this morning and I kept finding other good shit as I hit a couple of local stores. Felt like this is what I needed to try next based on what was said here. I’m still cautiously optimistic on this one though!

I truly appreciate all the input/knowledge/advice given earlier this week from everyone here.

Oh my. Well, you’ll know after that one how much you like peat.

Here’s what I just poured.

Just poured this 5 minutes ago and have not yet taken the first sip. As soon as I opened the bottle I get about the same smokiness that I get with the Benriach Smoky 12. More bourbon notes and less dark red fruits on the PC but they’re pretty similar in what perceived smoke I’m getting. Pretty sure I’m gonna like this

Excellent! The balance in this one is fantastic. Definitely a bit more peaty on the palate than the Smoky 12 but it’s perfectly proportionate to all the other notes. It’s a touch more on the ashy side and while the first sip almost whispered ash tray, it never came to fruition. 50% ABV is spot on. I’m loving this one!

This bottle also confirms that the Benriach Smoky 12 is a very good pour. It’s more fruit forward due to how it was matured but if you’re wanting something slightly sweeter on the dark red fruits and a touch less peaty than the PC10 on the palate, I can’t recommend it enough. Moving forward, I’m pretty sure I’ll always have one of each in the cabinet!

But I haven’t gotten to bandaids and iodine yet…or is that just a foregone conclusion?

Needed some jet fuel after a long day out in the yard.

Only makes sense to kill this bottle tonight, since the fill line is below the coat of arms.

I also rearranged my shelves of poker chips and bottles. I have plenty more room for scotch now. 500 bottles of whisk(e)y is now inevitable.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Someone say bottle kill? Don’t sleep on this one …it’s pretty damn good!

That’s what Crown should always taste like! I’ve had a few of these single barrels and they’re on point! Perfect proof point to showcase what they can and should be. Big fan of these!

She stole the rest of my Lagavulin.

I have more, but chose this instead.

In my younger days, we’d pour a shot of Crown over rocky road ice cream. Well, my kid wanted rocky road ice cream tonight, and you’ve inspired me. It’s the only Crown in the house though.

That’s a wrap on the year-end game. I didn’t cash in the tournament , but did well in cash.

Final pour at 2:45 am
