Since John Hansell gave it American Whiskey of the year today, I'm having the last pour of my first bottle of the FR 2012 SmB while I watch Justified this evening. Really glad I picked up several of these and I hope I get lucky enough to come across another.
Yes, my gf bought me the latex ice cube tray that holds 6 large ice cubes. Even if you're not a fan of the large cubes, I feel that the latex trays are the way to go. She also purchased a couple of molds that make large round cubes which are fun.Quote:

4 Roses Yellow Label. Stopped by the store to get some wine for my wife and couldn't help but leave with something for me. I'd not had the modern iteration of YL and I was expecting it to be thinner. Probably one of the best 80 proofers I have tasted.
The FRYL is $16 by me, and it is one I always keep around. It is not something I would generally reach for this time of year, but it is a great bourbon to whip out when just kicking back on the weekend with some friends or when you just want an easy drinker. Too bad they can't get the proof up a bit though.Quote:

Thanks to HH for putting out a quality product at a fair price point.
During her visit to Madison, WI, my lovely wife bought me a bottle of locally made Yahara Bay whiskey, and it is plain awful. Has to be the worst whiskey I've had. It's the thought that counts, so I let her stay. haha
I can't find much info on it other than it being a four grain whiskey, but it can't be more than a year or two old. Tried to make an old fashioned, heavy on the bitters last night, and its youth still managed to rear its ugly head.
