Happy fRyeDay. Sagamore Sherry finish in my glass. I have really come to appreciate this expression. Big fan.

Today I picked up a bottle of what I assumed to be the new Bulleit 12. I'll have to check the label I guess.

Getting the Camp Nelson WTKS bottles at more than one liquor store here, also. I did the zooming for you. I dunno, judging from the fill level, I guess I like it enough. -
What bourbon are you drinking this Spring - 2024

That's why I filled my fancy church rummage sale decanter with OF 100. It's just too good to be screw cap material. I picked up a new FR SiB tonight on the way home from work. Now I must partake of the one that's on its way out to justify the purchase. - Today

To follow suit, 2 cases of this also showed up at my local store. Had to grab one for old times’ sake. -

Having some older Blanton’s on a pre-Derby evening. It rained all day here with more expected. I would not want to be in the infield at the Derby tomorrow. -

Following up the Blood Oath with a bottle-kill pour of GBS ETL. Only had 3-5 pours left when I brought the bottle to Bardstown last week with the expectation it would be killed off there. Was surprised when Saturday night there was still a big pour left (not that we lacked for good pours last weekend!) . . . but not all that sad I had to do the honors myself back home in Jaw-juh Picking this barrel is one of my fondest whiskey memories, as it was the first barrel pick I had ever participated in, was able to do it with my old man and a great group of guys/gals, and ETL was my favorite bourbon at the time (and was easily found on shelves). The good ol' days! -

Empty Bottle Suport Group 2024
RT Fan replied to Harry in WashDC's topic in General Bourbon Discussion
Clearing out the cabinet as for me, bourbon season is coming to a close. I know, heresy for some of you but i don’t drink a lot of whiskey once the temps get north of 70. Good thing it only hit 60 today. -

First impression . . . this may be the best Blood Oath I've tried! Raspberries, dark chocolate, honey, thick mouthfeel . . . just a lovely whiskey (and I think the first I've tried that had any finishing from Merlot casks? Although some listed "red wine" so who knows) Hoping to do a few more passes and have a review posted in the next week or two! -

Side note. Wild turkey Lazer codes are confusing, but decipherable. I look at rare bird for help. -

Again, I couldn’t pass the Daniel’s. . First EWSB I’ve seen in ages. 9+ year begins to put it back on track. The Chattanooga is solid for a craft. -

Their own (over) 2 year “Cask” bourbon is quite good. I am several bottles in, and when I first learned that it was their own distillate, and 2 years…I was floored… I say theirs, because the label says, distilled, aged, and bottled by Chattanooga. And, aged over 2 years. If it was more I would assume they would say so. Picked up another today, because of Chattanooga’s mention here. Sipping now, and it is still on point.

Maybe they can start reinstating age statements...

As long as they're not cutting back on EC.

What Bourbon Did You Pass On 2024
FasterHorses replied to PaulO's topic in General Bourbon Discussion
Its min 2 yr. MGP. If it wasnt Chattanooga i wouldnt gamble but… before their own distillate was used, Chattanooga had some great 1816 products that consisted of some very young (min2 yr) MGP solera bottles. Hoping this is similar. -
I would pass a 2 year ago statement at any price to be honest...

May go back for it but passed on the chattanooga whiskey founders blend today. Ive liked most everything from these guys but $65 for a two year age statement made me want to check with you guys. Anybody had this one? -

I've seen some YouTube videos which show it. I'll see if I can find the specs on it.
