I just finished catching up on all the episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi series with the wife.  Now I poured a KC12 to finish off the evening.

Earlier, I finished off a MM PS, a favored bottle, which I had nursed for 2 years. 
Staying with the wheat side of life,  Larceny BP.  Quite a change in profile from MM, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Summer cold. 🥴  Freezer pour of OF 86 in the glass. So far, so good. 🤞Watching a few of episodes of Expedition Unknown with Josh Gates. This show is a bit hokey. The guy always finds something, but not quite what he’s actually looking for. It’s no brainer, fun  entertainment, with a little bit of history thrown in. A pleasant distraction amidst all the turmoil going on in the world right now. I kinda like it. 🤗

 

Biba! Joe

Just got back from a fundraiser dinner and auction that supports local farmers and am having a pour to cap off the night. The KCSIB from the bunker I mentioned earlier came up with a store pick FRSiB from 2015. It's a TW pick but back then all the samples were good so they couldn't mess it up. It is fantastic. OESK at 108.4 proof.

I’ve never had a bad OESK. Coming in at 108.4 is a Bonus!  Hail to The Cult!

Also watching, albeit it on DVR delay.  Get to skip through the commercials that way.  Cheers! 🏎️ 🏁

They used to sell them on this site a few years ago.  But I don't see the merchandise page anymore so they must have sold out.

Opened up the Rebel 10 with no expectations, because I have the Freezer OF86 on standby...

 

Holy WTH Batman!!! I don't think that I have had a more desertier bourbon, ever than this!!!

Slight banana, bubble gum, plum & berries with a very surprising short side of medium finish. Zero burn, no rye, of course. I will try to get a second one but will pull it out for certain occasions. Almost too deserty... My Honey didn't even winch; tell-tale right there...

I love Rebel Yell 10 year.  One of my favorite wheaters.

Orphan Barrel Old Blowhard 26 after a tedious day in the yard.

Happy Father’s Day SB!

 

I took a couple mini ER store picks over to my in laws and blinded three willing relatives who are fairly novice bourbonites. All three felt the left sample was much higher proof while the one on the right was “mellower”. However, on overall scoring the left one prevailed 2 to 1. Everyone was surprised to learn they are identical proof/product and that all those differences really show how single barrels can be varied.

Happy Fathers Day to all dads!

 

sitting out on patio after a Tomahawk steak dinner and sipping on some Saffell. Life is good, at least today it is. Brian Adam’s Summer of 69 playing on the outdoor speakers. 5D3E09D0-2DF1-4A73-B813-5A1F3FE6B195.thumb.jpeg.3f21ec35be2dc8e18f0834b940b25343.jpeg

Had 2 healthy drams of Grandpa Weller's 4 Grain (GW4G) blend last night with my Father's Day dinner.  24 oz +/- slice of well-marbled prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes and stir-fried veggies.  Slept like a baby, but my ribs really hurt this morning when I woke up.  SWMBO was already up, stomping around the kitchen - guess she didn't sleep well or something.   😳

Thanks-- it's an original MARX set from 1965. We had some kids over on Friday night and hauled down some vintage toys to get them off their gadgets. The Red Rocker and Blue Bomber never fail to please.
