Cracked open a 1792 High Rye (found in AR of all places) and a 1792 225th Anniversary (scored on the Pilgrimage to Louisville last week).  Really enjoying both - no wonder Barton is in the top 5 of my favorite distilleries...

Banker's Club! 3 year, 80 proof! I used it for making some Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ sauce. Worked great. It's actually not bad for the price drinking neat too, and honestly better than most craft garbage I've tried. Hard to beat $9 a liter, and no guilt using the good stuff for cooking.

Eagle Rare 10, PS.  This a new bottle to me.  I have had several ER10 bottles, some good, some not.  Great thing about Single Barrel, it is a surprise every time.

 

Cheers

Variety is the spice of life.  I get the same results from EWSB. Enjoy!

Love that Rare Breed glass.  How long have you had that?

Only a few years bought two of them at a thrift shop.

Rough day, rough week, smooth pour; I let it sit for 20 minutes and the first sip reminded me why this is one of my favorites. I can tell a difference from my first bottle, however...

Might only be a couple of years old, but it's still cool to see the older bottles...

Delivered one of these to a friend yesterday, and decided to open mine as well.  One of the best bargains out there right now (imo).

My first bottle of this. Thought it was very good, albeit the heat from the higher proof was a bit of a shock to my mouth compared to what I’ve been drinking recently. Definitely goes on the buy-again list.

Cleaning house today and while dusting bottles, I discovered I had room for one more on my "open" shelf.

Yay!

Fyi, that says "schnuck", not "schmuck" :)

It's been a long time, many years in fact, since I had a glass of Johnny Drum.  Had this bottle for a few months, decided it was time to crack it open.  101 proof, charcoal filtered.  I was reminded instantly why I didn't like it back in the day, it's different and outside my preferred flavor profile.  I will have a glass each night this week to see if it grows on me.  If not, another story about why trying things is important, because if I don't love it, it means more to share with visitors.

Stave and Barrel by Glenn's Creek.  Opened this one up. Gonna have  a couple more pours before I throw up my impressions,  but initially... I'm digging it!

I opened up this one recently. Somewhat bittersweet. The bourbon is amazing, but I won't get another bottle. It is so tasty, I will have to restrain myself, as to make it last awhile. 

 

Cheers

Just cracked this 14 year KCSB store pick from The Party Source. I bought it last year when I was passing through.

Opened an ECSB NAS last night.  Surprisingly good.  Better than I remember 12 y.o. being.  Wish I could do a SBS but the 12 y.o. is long gone.,..

I finished off a number of extremely low fill bottles Friday night. To fill the void on my "open" shelf I decided to grab a few private selections from my bunker. :)
