Put some baby back ribs on the smoker.  Sides were pasta salad and roasted carrots.  Thought about having a beer and then maybe wine, but . . . they really called for some 2018 GTS.

Oh they were very tasty.  Between the smoked paprika, chipotle pepper and brown sugar rub they had a sweet bark with a little bite.  Be careful and don't drool on your keyboard.

I am enjoying some 2018 vintage WT101. While long a staple for me this is just especially good (and 101 sets a high bar for moi ) Should I happen across more of this batch I will get more as it checks all the boxes that qualify as enjoyment for me. Whatver combination of rickhouses, age, phase of the moon... bottom line, I like it, I like it alot and I shall make sure I have stock to continue to enjoy well into the future. Seriously well done mssrs Russell. 

As a qualifier I did a sbs with other vintages, to my palate this 2018 is just that much more especial. Slainte!!

A lil Turkey today to celebrate with Mako.  Yes, that is the bottle of Rare Breed I bought/opened this weekend.  Moving through it at a good clip.

Not sure how long since this was released (or if it's still available at all) but there was one bottle on the shelf today so I grabbed it. Really great on the first pour for $20!

Cracked this in honor of my hometown Hoos making their first final appearance tonight.
First of any of the Pappy family. Was planning on saving for my 40th in a couple months but figured this was a worthy occasion. Much more refined and well rounded than OWA. Glad I did crack it as my birthday pour should be a little better now.

It was released a couple years ago it's still around in some places, I like it a lot and bunkered a few. Last year's release was an 86 proof called Repeal batch, looking forward to this line of affordable bottles continuing.

There were many bottles of the repeal batch there. I passed given the lower proof but price was $17. I hope the distillers cut becomes a regular release (or I hope I find more collecting dust as its close to WT101 for me in terms of value).

I really enjoyed the Distiller's Cut I had. Shame it didn't make it to our shores!

In my opinion, this is one of the best Beam’s products on the budget side.

Damn if Rare Breed doesn’t evaporate right of the bottle at my place!
