Don’t forget about the initial trip overseas!! That bottle has seen a lot of miles lol

That looks like a lot of international Blanton's on display there.

Very long work day, 4:30am to 7pm. Now a 2oz PH Promise of Hope, then bed.

Maybe not 'strictly speaking' Bourbon or mauybe it is, according to anyone's own definition... but, I had a couple pours of JDSBBP this afternoon.     I hafta agree with Smokinjoe; this is absolutely one of my favorite whiskeys.    It is sooooo smooth!... Especially for around 130-proof!    Yet, not short on flavor, and also an interesting and satisfying aroma, as well.    Just VERY Nice stuff!

After putting my crazy toddler boys (age 1.5 and 3) to bed I finally get to sit down and enjoy some Stagg Jr (batch 7) and watch Rightous Kill while relaxing.

Having a pour of OGD 86 proof while I watch Ovechkin hoist the cup, after many years of watching the Caps battle it out with my Rangers, I have to say I feel good watching a respected rival win.

Three nice pours of Stagg Jr. at a restaurant in Vegas drowning my hockey sorrows. No idea what batch but it sure was tasty.

Enjoying a pour of John J. Bowman Single Barrel a the moment.

Caps just won the Stanley Cup (been following them off and on for 40 years) beating the VGKs (for whom I have a special place in my heart - Hi, Bill. Jorgie says Hello).  SO, since ONE of my favorite hockey teams won while the OTHER fave lost, I split my sips - first, a celebratory JB BIB (a nice pedestrian, widely available BIB that I happen to REALLY like neat and in cocktails) followed by a celebratory/commiseratory sip of ER 10 because the VGKs had an incredible FIRST season.

Enjoying a Bourbon Crusaders OBSF.

I have a batch 7 open now. Neat, with water or on the rocks your preference?

Lots of thunder storms rolling through and I'm  just sitting on the porch enjoying the view. A healthy pour of HHBIB from the fridge seems appropriate.

Still have some of this left, a nice pour, pretty tasty.

I have to agree this is a great pour and was one of my first introductions to Rye.

I have been mixing it up a little with a Crown Liquors 1792 Full Proof and a Rural Inn Blanton's.

Pretty expensive though, I think it was close to $100 a few years back.

A drink of Weller 12 , followed by a drink of FR OESV.

I was happy to see Ovi hoist the Cup! Hockey > all other sports

YESSSSSS!!!!!!

We don't get thunderstorms in Seattle. One of the things I miss about the Midwest are thunderstorms enjoyed from the porch. HH6BIB whilst viewing is all the better.

I was at a neighbor’s last night and he recently bought a SA Big Level so I got to try it. I was very surprised how decent it was. You know, because most of the “craft” bourbon out there should really be called “crap” bourbon.

All around, it was very nice.

I opened up this Elijah Craig 18 year and raised a glass for Anthony Bourdain.  It's not Pappy, his favorite, but it feels appropriate.  Finished the night off with a Michters 10yr.  Both are good, and I know I'm in the minority around here in regards to Michters.
