I've been on a higher proof kick lately and this was just a very easy drinker. I was probably expecting more. It has good flavor, but I thought it lacked character/complexity. I'll give it another try or two before pulling the curtain on it.

I remember liking that one. Just an easy drinker. I'll try it again.

Save your money. Buy better quality whiskey. I've never heard anyone whose opinion I respect use or recommend anything like the item in question. These devices come and go. Frankly, I'm skeptical about any science behind it.

For me and my taste buddies: Gotta be a gimmick. If it changes the whiskey, I Don't Want It! If it doesn't? Well, then; phony baloney cash extraction scam.

Just got served an ad on Amazon.com for something called the "Stirring" - it’s this little "device" that you stir into your whiskey, and supposedly it makes it smoother by pulling out harsh fermentation compounds. They say this is done with no filters or additives**… I’m skeptical but curious. Has anyone here actually tried it? Does it ~actually make a difference in taste or is it just a gimmick? Would love to hear opinions before I grab one. Thank you!

I am sorry to hear that. I hope you have a quick recovery

Thanks sir

No you tried the 104 proof one. I think that 104 proof is definitely better.

Clearing out the empties! The Benchmark was a pleasant surprise for the price and the Bulliet exceeded expectations. The rest are standards.

Smoke Wagon Small Batch tonight. Not impressed. It doesn't suck, but I won't buy another bottle.

Some RR13 tonight. Just taking it easy. We are scheduled for closing on 7/3 on the new place.

Oh man. Is that the one I got to try? Major loss.

I couldn't agree more on the OF1920, especially for the $$.

Happy Hatching Day! Good way to celebrate.

I am sorry to hear that - it's quite a rough thing. Thank God for the increasing state of medical tech. I wish the best possible results and a speedy recovery.

Well, I've been traveling a lot. Busy busy. And I had not packed the wee 2 oz bottles. So less drinky drinky when busy busy. I did get to try the Bowman CS. I like it, a lot. It's much like SFTB, but with a sort of Willetty finish. I do not normally care for the Willett tang...but here it works.

@GeeTen, SWMBO, and @Anwalt, April 2025 Bardstown Bash! Truly a "Not-To-Be-Missed" Tour!

So glad you did! I thought about it but talked myself out of it. Appreciate you defending me/us!

Oh no…. You don’t get to quietly fix it as a mod and make us look stupid Joe. I screenshotted that!

That's it. Jimmy's proof with greater age than you can find anywhere else.

Happy Tuesday?

This is interesting, but not my favorite. I’m glad I picked it up.

I sipped on 3 different EC SiB BP's last night. They were as blind as I could do on my own. A LQ store is doing a private select of these. I was to be part of the crew in the decision making (would have been my 1st time in doing so)but as I have the least flexible work schedule( slave to the clock) I was not able to make it on the day everyone else could. So I missed out on the actual process but the LQ owner was kind enough to save samples for me to taste and give my opinion after the matter. I ended up selecting the popular barrel! Although I had no input, I do feel like I was actually part of the decision seeing how I picked with the majority of the group. I feel honored that the owner considered me to be in the group of decision makers and also that he saved samples for me when I could not make the scheduled time for this process. I had fun nonetheless. Now we wait. Maybe we will get lucky and it takes HH a year to bottle this and we can have our own amnesia btl.
