I've seen that one for $70 but did not purchase it. I can't imagine that that young whisky could be as good as a Scotch single malt for the same money. For that money you could purchase a 12 year age stated Glendronach, GlenAllachie or Tamdhu.

WT101 8 year in the glass....

This is my all time favorite rye. Likely because it’s really not a rye in the traditional sense. Love this bourbon. My hat is off to you

I know when I’m drinking ETL the only thought I have is, “this is dang good!”

The first load of stuff (toys and decor) is loaded into the Suburban for donation tomorrow. One down and what feels like a hundred to go. ETL in the glass. I need something light that I don’t have to think about.

I just picked one up and so far am quite pleased with my initial impressions.

Happy Birthday, Joe

I like this one after a warm afternoon of yardwork.

I suspect you are right on in your assessment. I disliked the Bonded Rye, and while a Single Barrel will take on a different flavor profile, I would submit the mash bill is essentially the same. To your point that means it will be very rye forward. If that is the case, it would only be doable for me in an old fashioned or Manhattan. I'll keep an open mind.

While I do recommend this bottle and have owned several, it is quite rye forward. Brown forman does use a yeast that ranges from banana bread to sweet tarts, which may compliment/ mask the heavy rye influence. But don't be fooled the sib rye is very rye.

Taste better when sharing time with buddies and good whiskey

Second photo too big

Tonight is carne asada fajitas with rice and beans. I'm having another saos rye tonight while cooking. Seems all I can get to these days is whatever bottle lives on the counter top. Did anyone see that Mike veach is doing a release? I hear it's coming out near me at jack rose. Anyways cheers, and hope you all had a nice weekend.

That WLW is from 2021. That’s the last year I was able to purchase one. For a number of years prior to that, I was lucky to have had my name drawn in a lottery every other year. Always picked the WLW. That streak ended in 2023. Been drawing a blank every since. It’s all good though. I’ve had my fair share of WLW’s over the years. I still have one left in my bunker. It’s my favorite. The 2007 bottling at 117.9 proof.

Lagavulin 11 year...Ron Offerman edition...

I have to admit, I am excited to try this. Thanks for.posting the link.

Picked the barrels in 2012. Bottled and delivered in 2013. As for taste, it’s very rich. Heavy, even. It handled the 15 years well, and isn’t overboard on the oak.

will absolutely do so

Now if only we can find it at MSRP. Eagle Rare 10 year is getting closer to MSRP in my parts. Can't find Eagle Rare 17 even with a search warrant

Like the MSRP and the higher proof

Intended to be a permanent addition and released at regular intervals. 95 proof, msrp of $50. https://www.foodandwine.com/buffalo-trace-eagle-rare-12-11750242

All this WT talk, I went back and bought one even tho I’m in week 1 of 8 weeks dry. Also snagged some NA beers I have very little will power

That is great and what i would call a happy ending. I wad trying to find info in the archives and it appears that pick was at least 9yrs ago? How does the 15yr EC BP taste?

Indeed, GBS is for Georgia Bourbon Society. Our first barrel selection was for the standard EC12, and we kinda lucked into getting the second one at barrel proof. We called it the “Amnesia Barrel”, since it took so long to get it bottled, we almost forgot we had it!! It should have been 14 years old, but since it took a year to get bottled, it ended up being 15 yo.
