Finishing the evening with Johnny Drum, private stock. Reminds me HHBiB 6yr.

How is it? What’s the stave selection? I helped choose a barrel today and it’s a unique process 

I like it. It’s definitely improving since being opened. Here are the staves.

Odd. 

I wonder why.

HaHa.  Big open question.  Several answers.  But the one I will answer, is the similarity to HHBiB.

I know it is the same mashbill.  I posted this for those that want to try HHBiB, but won't be able to find a bottle and might run across one of the Johnny Drums.  Anyway, I enjoyed the pour. 

 

Cheers

Blanton’s STFB while watching the Braves.

Tasting the oaky goodness from the Rhetoric 23 tonight.

Two Manhattan's in series. First Rossville barrel proof rye, Vya sweet vermouth and Woodford Angostura bitters followed by the same mix but McKenna BIB, batch 6278, instead of the rye. The McKenna by far a much tastier Manhattan.

HMcK10, it's working well tonight.

I figured if I put the turkey signal up my Lawrenceburg brethren would assemble.

My client and I won a verdict in a trial today, so I had to celebrate. First pour finished my A119 ECBP (there was a fair amount left ), then I had a taste of my infinity bottle, which is pretty good at the moment... Then decided to open something new, and went with a non-bourbon: Nikka Coffey Grain. First time tasting, and it’s amazing, definitely buying another bottle of this when I can. Happy Friday!

WTKS PS tonight.  It is a little hot tonight, probably because I bit my tongue a few days ago.  Ugh.

Spending time with my two brothers and one sister in law last night the lineup was:

 

GTS 2017

WLW 2017

WT MK Decades

IW Harper 15

 

and WT 101 rye cocktails. My wife tried a sip of the WLW. Loved the nose, actual drink was “not bad.” It may take 25 years but I’ll convert her yet.

 

Drinking great bourbon with family, great times.  I rarely drink fancy stuff on my own but whenever friends and/or family are around Is always a perfect time for the good stuff.

Had an ER Old Fashioned last night.

They are getting rid of the French mocha for all new accounts. Which is interesting since it’s their most popular stave. 

 

The left will be coming to WICHITA in a few months.

[Obeezy1Kaneezy]

Been a long time since I’ve been in this bottle.

Quite the change of pace.  An absolute dessert pour.

Having a pour of Buffalo Trace tonight. Supposed to get 3-5 inches of wet, heavy snow tonight. Ready to be done with this.
