My local didn’t pick this barrel.

Much to my regret...

Killed the last of an ECBP 3rd retail batch.  I take comfort that it has gone on to a better place . . . my glass

man down.

Two bottles left, HH 6yr BIB. My favorite daily pour, almost my fav regardless. What's a close substitution? Price/value.

I second, third, and fourth that suggestion.

First kill of quarantine I believe. Got a few others getting low so they will start coming faster.

I've had them side by side and I find Evan Williams Bottled in Bond to be pretty close in profile and price.  Same HH juice just 1 year younger.  JW Dant is also pretty decent.

Batch 1.  This was really good.  But, I'm not sure it was $130 good.

This is my 3rd bottle of the 116.8 RB. The 1999 batch is the only other WTRB that I have opened more of. This is a really good WTRB (116.8), I’m sure I will open another one up soon. 

And I don’t want to hear sh&t about the Popeyes chicken sandwich. 
They are delicious....

They are solid for sure,  But much like my first time trying many of the overhyped bourbons, it didn’t quite live up to the legend for me.

I do love those red beans though!

Another one bites the dust.

Sorry to see this Binnys Armagnac finished Double Rye go.

I was delightful.

Yabba dabba doo!!

Kinda glad this one is gone. I totally get the "vitamin" reference now.

Mrs. Clueby had most of the last pour of this 17 Blanton's. Wasn't really enough for both of us.

The price of this is stupid, but I truly enjoyed every f-ing drop!

Pure Kentucky XO.  Finished this last night and can't say I loved it.  It had pretty good flavors and good mouthfeel but the nose was so musty...  This was one of the last sourced batches and I heard that they are now using Willett distillate with a very different flavor profile. 

[Soberiquet]

Getting ready to start the grill and finishing off this New Riff SiB. This was very good, as are all the other NR SiB I have tried. I will always try to keep one on hand.

Very divisive bottle I know, but it was beautiful to me. I'll grab two next time I'm outside.

Wish I could find even one.  It came and went in a flash here in No Cal and I missed out.

Finished this one off while wrapping up the work day.
