The Full Proof is probably my personal favorite bottle (for a realistic price) and I’ve been nursing one for over a year for the same reason

Tonight's fryeday head-to-head despite drastically different proofs
I've heard good things about the JDBP, but that seems like a no brainer to me. But then again, I'm not a proof whore either...

Wintry chill Fryeday…opening my latest acquisition, which is half of today’s at-retail haul.

Tonight’s cash game offerings to the host. First time having the Old Bardstown…pretty damn good for $25!
Out of town and missing my Day #8, but will post day 7 notes today.
Day 1: Elements of Islay, Cask Edition, 46%. Light smoke and salt on the nose, palate hits with campfire smoke and a touch of fruit (apple). Overall 7/10
Day 2: Big Peat, 46%. Peat, cinnamon, and hints of spice on the nose. Char, earth, nuts, chocolate and gobs of smoke that linger for a long while. Overall 8/10.
Day 3: Loch Lomond Peated Single Grain Whisky, 46%. Nose is orange, berry, and smoke. Palate tastes sweet with hints of lemon and grass. Finish lingers of smoke. Overall 5/10.
Day 4: Amrut Peated Single Malt Whisky, 46%. The smell of campfire and soot hit me the minute I opened this one up. Further lingering gives apricot. Tasting brings a surprise front end of fruit, Oak while the finish leaves a delightful reminder of peat, smoke, and sweetness. Overall a very pleasant surprise. 9/10
Day 5: Torabhaig Allt Gleann The Legacy Series, 46%. Nose starts off with the sea and continued with sweet fruity notes that I couldn't pinpoint (later found out pear). The taste is light, floral, and airy with notes of vanilla and fruit. It finishes with sea salt and caramel. This dram seems young, but very balanced. 7/10
Day 6: The Glenturret 10 yr. Old Peat Smoked (2021 release), 50%. Well, we broke the 46% barrier tonight! First smell brings orange, sweetness, and salt. This dram tastes of malt, peat and cinnamon. It finishes with smoke and tones of cinnamon. While this is a solid complex whisky this one just didn't hit me quite right. 6/10.
Day 7: Inchmoan Island Collection, 12 year, 46%. This one smells of oaky honey and sweetness. First taste brings on vanilla, apples and cinnamon (apple pie a la mode like, yum). The finish is stronger and heavier than expected with rich flavors of citrus and honey. Overall a good dram that finishes better than it starts. 7/10.

I’m pushing 50 years old. My last remaining grandparent passed away yesterday. She was OLD. And awesome, she will be missed. Busted out one of my favorite ryes in her memory.

It’s really good. I’d definitely buy it again if I could get it here but we don’t get anything Willett in NC. My buddy grabbed it for me while working up in Virginia this week. He called me from the store to ask me if I wanted it…he’s trained well

Had to replenish some cabinet staples.
First time I've seen this in the wild. Must buy? Good price?

Been way too long since I cracked one of these. Good to revisit an old friend!
That happens from time to time for me too. The other day c923 ECBP tasted bad and I knew it was me
Kill it. Kill it now.
