I visited Islay at a local bar earlier today. Uigeadail was easily the choice between these two. There are some Laphroaigs that I do like (e.g Sherry Oak 10) but this white port & madeira version of Cairdeas didn't fire for me at all. It's way too disjointed for my tastes.

I passed on the 8yr New Riff bourbon the other day. They wanted 90+$... I did buy a sample at the whiskey bar and found it to be dang good. As many here have stated, New Riff is legit. BUT, I will wait and hopefully find it closer to msrp, which I think is 60-70?

Thank you, sir. I am enjoying this btl. It is not the rye-est of ryes, but it is smooth and delicious.

I need to try the JD bib rye. I quite enjoy the JD bib whiskey, it is like a poor mans version of the SiB BP, IMO.

Saw this one sitting there on a shelf yesterday at retail and had to pick it up since I haven’t seen one at retail in at least four years. Opened it tonight and just as good as I remember.

Good stuff after mowing the lawn.

Now that is just awesome.

Yup! When the mood strikes me, I like the vitamin flavor..it scratches an itch that no other whiskey can.

Balvenie is one of my favorites too. The 30 year is possibly the best single malt I've had. I have a bunch of the original Tun 1401's in the bunker along with a couple 30's. That 18 year PX looks great!

Passed on a bunch of cool looking stuff at Binny's. I'm going dry for 8 weeks for a weight loss challenge starting in a couple of days, so I thought not buying a bunch of bottles like I normally would, would be a good first test of will power. WT101 8yr A bunch of FR single barrels in the new recipes (the 50% ones) A ton of JD bare proof store picks A RR 10 yr store pick

And I agree with you. I am a big fan of the 15yr. It is not totally void of the Flintstone vitamin flav but has enough so you know it is still a Dickel. Not that there is anything wrong with the vitamin flav.

Lucky you!

Having a KC-SP after a day outside.

Portillos has finally made it to South Texas. Italian Beef sandwiches (dipped) and Peerless Double Oaked from Total Wine. Been looking for both for a while All we need is some Lou Malati’s pizza here, and I won’t have to go back.

Rest in peace. Good one to replace

California Cool-Aid....inspired by @smokinjoe. It's pretty damn good!

@fosmith -80.00

Agreed. I've enjoyed several different releases & have enjoyed them all. The 15yr is my favorite Dickel & it's not even close.

You should update your tag to fishnbowlnblendjoe

I had a nice pour of MM 95.5 last night. A MM and MM 101 mix.

I went to the closest store to replace my bottles of OF 100 and Rye 100. These were on the counter when I was checking out. They came home with me.

Just got a chance to try the Still Austin Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey last night. Wow for a five year old whiskey it has a ton of flavor and excellent finish! I am a big fan on Nancy “The Nose” Fraley. Got my eye out for the Red Corn Whiskey next. Cheers

It was grill your own steak night at the Legion last night.

IMO, these Dickel 15yr SiB releases are the best value there is in ultra aged bourbon today. I currently have open a 101.2 proof bottle that is one of the best bourbons I've ever had; just lights out delicious. I don't know the barrel or bottle date as I lost the hang tag (or it didn't come with one), but I'd bet it's more than 15 years old. I've been getting these for $55 at K&L. I'm curious what they sell for at the gift shop...

JD Rye BiB for me tonight. I’ve been going back to this bottle since opening recently. When I finish this one, I will pick up another for sure. Happy FRyeday
