Yesterday I met up with a few JD collecting mates for a few drinks and swaps etc.
I came home with a 1st gen and 2nd Gen George Dickel Barrel Select, both bottles signed by Jennings D. Backus and current master distiller John R. Lunn
I keep trying to tell these guys there's some stuff to be drunk in Tennessee!

Today, I received my order for two bottles of Pappy Lot B and one bottle of Rock Hill Farms. One of the bottles of Pappy is for my brother-in-laws birthday next month. Opened the other bottle of Pappy and had a couple of pours tonight. Very good. I think I like the 12 year better than the 15 year.

Went to replace a recently finished PVW 15. To my horror, the shelf space at The Party Source usually devoted to PVW was filled with something else. When I inquired, I was told that PVW was on "extreme allocation" and that they were able to get only 2 or 3 bottles of each expression with each shipment.
So I stopped by another, smaller store on the way home and bought the last three that they had on the shelf. Don't want to be caught unable to get my Pappy "fix".
Also picked up a EC12 (gonna give it another try) and a Weller 12.
