If you don't see something on here that you'd like to bring, feel free to find something not on my list here. There are a number of other ryes at TPS that aren't on my list. (Although I'd love to see Whistle Pig since I haven't tried it before - and I don't really want to see ever different bottling of Beam rye.)

Roger, looks like I am going to be out for the tasting as much as I hate to miss it. Getting pulled out of town for a family issue. Hope you guys have fun and safe travels!

Really wish I could make it as it sounds like a lot of fun.

Had a good time at the tasting last night. Great whiskey, great people and a great big bill at Party Source. It left my wallet $500.00 lighter!

Thomas

A small square of plastic procures large boxes of whisky, is this a great World or what.

Roger,

Another successful tasting....you and your wife are definitely gracious hosts. You did an excellent job of coordinating a good group of ryes. It was nice to compare several of the different LDI's side by side and then taste some of the excellent offerings like the HW 21 and the VWFRR. Always look forward to your invitations to Cincy...wish we could have stayed longer but keeping the wife happy is important (especially since she overheard me talking about my recent purchase that hasn't arrived yet).

I did maintain discipline when I stopped at Party Source on the way home and only picked up on-line purchases previously paid for (as I said Barb knew more stuff was on the way so I didn't press my luck)

Tom

A big THANKS to Roger for putting this together. It was a great time! The food, drink, and company were all stellar. We enjoyed meeting some new enthusiasts and reconnecting with others. We're definitely looking forward to future Cincinnati gatherings! Of course, it doesn't hurt that you're minutes away from TPS. It sounds like stopping there afterward was a must for a few of us!
