That HHSS looks delicious. Sounds delicious on paper anyway.

I was driving to Boston the other day and stopped at a store on the way to check out MA's lower prices and better selection. Restocked my AE Rye, got one for a friend and a 15yo James E. Pepper bourbon. We have that in CT as well, but its $100, and I haven't been interested in trying it at $100. But $56? Okay, I'll bite.

Springfield's Table and Vine is pretty good...they have a nice 4R barrel pick, two I think. A buddy of mine lives in Enfield so I'm up there on occasion.

I picked up some Jeff15 the other day along with an IW Harper BHC and a 2013 WLW...was a good day.

Seriously. I would rather have a private selection like this than any of the limited releases I spend so much time hunting down.

I picked up a 1L AAA10yr for $19 and a 750 OWA for $23. Never has the AAA10yr before. Awesome stuff. I'll definitely be buying more.

Just picked up some OWA and Weller 12. I am planning to vat a 60/40 mix, a 50/50 mix, and a 40/60 mix tonight. In a month I look forward to doing a blind taste against PVW15. Love a good experiment!!

Great. I've found that it helps to give the blend a few days at least to mingle before its fully optimized. Enjoy.

My goal is to wait a month... Hopefully I find the willpower to make that happen!

My faith in humanity has been restored. There are some very thoughtful people hanging around this place and I'm glad to know them.

Picked up a bottle of Bulliet Rye today on sale for 19.99. I think a few Sazerac cocktails are in the works tonight.

Haven't tried this rye yet.

This weekend I will obtain two of the most unique and significant whiskies to this point in my journey. Today an impeccably packaged box containing the Heaven Hill Select Stock cognac finished wheat recipe bourbon arrived on my doorstep. I'm on my way toward opening and enjoying this whiskey, and toasting my journey tomorrow that will result in even more delicious bourbon.

Let us know what you think Josh. Also, curious to hear how you like that F yeast. It seems like it's love or hate with some people.

Finally broke down and picked up a Bambi. Figured seeing it on the shelf for the third straight visit meant it needed to come home with me. Also snagged some 200mLs of WT101 and MM, just to restock (my new plan, when I'm out - buy small if I can find it!)
