Opened and am drinking the 1792 FP I purchased today. First impressions are...delicious. Good balance and big flavor with the high heat.

I stumbled onto some Hancock’s Reserve awhile back. I can’t remember how long it had been since I had previously seen it in Metro Atlanta but I know it’s double digit years. I’m about 1/3 of the way into the bottle and it’s just not doing it for me. Kind of like Blanton’s Light. Well, further research tonight!

Enjoying a few sips of the 2012 PHC release, Blend of Mashbills. This is indeed a slow sipper. Will probably take a while to work through this; very solid stuff.

Finished off a sample of a PS FR OBSF my BIL brought me from a store in MN. 9yr 9mo and 58.8% abv, a very nice bottle.

We can call that blend "Hancock's Presidential Ridiculous".

 

Or... Blancock's. I have a feeling there will be a preference here...

I know it is early in the day, but my Hilltoppers have a bowl game at 11:30 and I am on vacation.  Go TOPS!

There is a well established dispensation for playoff/bowl/holiday drinking. Enjoy.  ;)

Indeed sir. And I've been taking advantage of it for the past week and fully intend to take advantage of it this upcoming week.

Opened up tonight with some Old Charter 8 year old. Now just poured some of my home blend of Baker's & JBDC.  Good stuff.

Having some Remus Repeal Reserve #2 tonight. A really good bourbon.

 Yes I agree.  I personally like this MGP better than than Boone County 1833 12yr.

Got home last night from a 10 day Christmas visit with family. I had nothing to drink during that time except a single bottle of beer (I view the visit as a nice opportunity to give my liver a break). So I cracked open a new store pick KC and it pretty much tasted like pure ethanol. It started to taste better by the end of the pour. My palate was not ready for it, I will have to revisit today.

Note to self. After a lay over don't start with 120 or higher proof neat to break back in. :) Break back in slowly.
