A glass of FR 130 while finishing up Stranger Things season 3. What a great show.

Watching Donnie Brasco and sippin' on HH6yr 90 proof. Everytime I drink this I question why I didnt stop and grab a few handles when I drove through Paducah in late May.

Monday, Monday..... <_<  Long day at work. That being said, I’m having a pour or three of regular old BT this afternoon/evening.

 

For whatever reason, BT has just been killing it for me lately. Be it a ps, or regular BT, all have been wonderful.      Even when I’ve been ‘off’ and some of my other go to bourbons haven’t hit the mark because of that fact,  BT has been there to pick up the slack and carry the load. Darned glad I have a few in the bunker. 

 

Biba! Joe

Ok, so as someone who usually drinks neat, I feel you.  This pour in particular is just fantastic with a good quality cube.

Four Roses OESV, 9yr 9m, 113.4pf. First pour out of a fresh bottle which is always a bit hot, but this is a lovely spice cake. It's gonna be awesome when it opens up a bit.

BUMMER!   Bad tire is only thing that comes to mind.

Ooooops....

OK, I just saw your later comment Steve.

Figured it out upon removing the tire - it was an area of too thin rubber resulting in the tire casing bulging. I wish I could blame it on the tire manufacturing but the thin rubber was a case of me locking up the rear tire and leaving too much rubber on the pavement. We have a rabbit issue here and I remember one running across the bike trail in front of me causing me to lock em up. That was a while ago so it took some time for the rubber to wear away to the point to cause this to happen.

 

On topic - drinking some EC store pick for my local - 9 years old. Prolly gonna follow with ECBP. All while watching the Tour of course.

It recently became available in Texas too.  The bottle I bought didn't last long.  Good bourbon and excellent value, in my opinion.

Saw it is in Illinois now as well (or I just did not notice earlier)  $19.99 for a liter?  Will be adding one shortly.  Looking forward to it.

Handle of Eagle Rare.  My new favorite go to.  Passed on this last week at $56 at Bevmo.  Then got a $10 off coupon in the mail and... I'm sooo weak...

One of my Top 5.  Opened this up after a prolonged stay in the cabinet and the nose just rushed out and blasted me with an onslaught of caramelly candy shop and  rickhouse on a hot Summer day.  Great caramel, brown sugar, and dark fruits.  Huge mouthfeel and thick viscosity.  I betcha HH has the stocks to do another release of this.  If they do, my wallet will get drained.

Yeah! I got a set of them at a thrift store for a few bucks. Bonus points: they get clean in the dishwasher, unlike some of the other fancier whiskey glasses I have.

After 4 rounds of SBS tasting the 9c went 0-4 for dead last place. Will post more about that in the 4R thread. Now doing a sample vs my two “control” bottles to see if I can make a guess whether it’s a B or an E mash.  You know, for science.

Why not as long as it's at least 51 % corn, etc...

It tastes like toasted marshmallow, which is so unique in the whiskey I've tried. Looking at the label, it is a KSBW, so I guess it is? Tastes like a camping dessert...I love it.

Oh I wouldn’t mind trying that, I’ll be on the look out.
