lcpfratn Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Back to a favorite in front of the outdoor fireplace with the first fire of the season. Such nice unsweetened cocoa notes from this Larceny. I just realized (or my CRS disease is showing) that the Boss put that additional engraving on the SB glasses that he delivered to us that year. The glow of the fire really made that stand out, so I had to go check my glass to see if it was on it, and sure enough, it was! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's looking like it might be another long Kentucky Gentleman season up here in Chicago-Hockey-land.

I'm a UGA grad, so I guess I should be drinking some super-expensive bourbon with great packaging and story, something highly rated, with a storied past, yet currently over promises while under-delivering in the most stomach turning ways.

Don’t get me wrong though, it’s not bad at all. Well I'll def keep an eye out for it. BIB and HR have been my favorites so far (not including the original RR8yr and 225An). I've had less-than-thrilled results with a few SiB, and FP has been IMHO a little hot, so maybe the 12yr will hit the sweet spot for me. SW stands on its own as a very enjoyable and noticeable change-up. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
