Attended a function for work and the choices were Gentleman Jack, JW Black, Oban and The Macallan 12. I opted for The Macallan and Oban as it was an open bar and I was curious how I would like a scotch experience compared to my usually exclusive bourbon pours. They were pleasant but nothing with any WOW factor in terms of flavor IMO. They were good, they were different as Irish is relative to Bourbon. While I can and did appreciate these 2 last night there was nothing there that would compel me to purchase any to have at home. In a nutshell the Scotch was nice but bourbon wins in a landslide.

Couple of 10 year old 100 proofers tonight. Store select HMcKenna BIB followed by SAOS 10yr 100pf. That store select HM is a spice bomb. The SAOS is fruity in comparison. Is that a standard flavor profile for the higher aged MGP bourbons?

I've found a lot of red fruit in most MGP bourbon I've tried.

i went and looked at every SAOS bottle I have and dont see red fruit in any of them

Celebrating the return of a bright object in the sky (Is that what they call the Sun?!?!?! :lol:) with a solid pour of GBS "Amnesia Bottle" ECBP 15 yr. Both, are welcome and wonderful! Better late than never!

Just a short pour, neat, of a very low bottle of Pappy 15yo. I will probably cry when I kill it!

Shared some ECBP with my golf buds after a nice walk. Got the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. Don't remember which batch - just killer juice. Left in my locker to repeat the process.

Long day of a bike ride followed by some yard work in some warm sunny weather left me pretty tuckered so I was looking forward to the evening pour more than usual. Decided to go with the last pour of Lot B from '13, and being the last pour it ended up being quite large. It's really hitting some extra fine notes this time and is a solid step above the Weller 12 I currently have open.

At some point, I need to crack open my bottle of '14 Lot B (only Lot B I own). Problem is, I've got so many other bourbon's that I am enjoying at the moment (GTS, EC12, SAOS7).

Tonight, my first time trying SAOS 10. Good stuff but not stuff it's worth $15 more than the 7 year.

weller 12. its good but is it worth the premium i paid? probably not...

How much did you pay? I am sipping on some 1792 now that my open 375 of Bulleit Rye is empty and I poured the last ounce into my decanter mix of #lastpour's

A store select Four Roses Single Barrel - I am enjoying it so much I may go back and get more. I was hesitant to try - but I guess some are better than others...

After a vacation down in Pensacola (where the bourbon selection is slim at most of the restaurants) for 5 days, I had a pour of BT store select, HWMWND, and GTS.

Its good to be home!

$39.99

to be honest, i found myself thoroughly enjoying the pour and had 2 more.

Holy smoke. I just found some 750s of Weller 12 for $19.99. That store had fewer bottles when I left. ;-)

Larceny. Just returned from looking at colleges with my daughter. In the mood for a wheater and Larceny is fitting the bill quite nicely.
