But by then, they’ll have added another $50 to it!  🤪

In that case I shall most likely remain Peer “less”!!.

Revisiting the BBC Origin Rye tonight.  Apparently my palate was the issue a few weeks ago.  Hitting the correct notes tonight with a light cherry finish.  Very appealing!

I ended the night with a Coco Wheats pour, Chattanooga Rye. Breakfast before bed is quite enjoyable.

So today I completed the maryland heritage rye set ive been working on. It took quite a bit of patience, money, and sheer luck. But im feeling very happy about my little collection.

Nice Pic, Skinsfan1311!     Lovely color in the bottle and glencairn.    How does the taste measure up?     I've heard good things; but, haven't had the pleasure.   

An 'I Love Lucy' fan, I presume?

Thanks!   

It's my favorite Dickel though, admittedly, I've only had a few.   I really, really like it and rarely see it around here, (Baltimore metro area), and I bought this bottle while on vacation in NOLA.  It was my "hotel" whisky.   I liked it so much that I duct-taped the cork to the bottle and stuck it in my suitcase and it flew home with us.  If I see it again, I'll buy it.     

Mrs. Skinsfan is the Lucy fan and has been since she was a kid.   So much so that she's made the pilgrimage to Lucy's hometown, Jamestown NY, 3 times!  She has an entire room dedicated just to Lucy, which is also where we keep our whiskey, which is why so many of my pics have some type of Lucy stuff in the background.

I did the tour and tasting a couple of weeks ago.  We got to try stuff as old as 5 1/2 years. Very good but the consensus of our group was that the bottles are about $50/bottle too expensive.  

That’s where I am. In the future I’ll go back to Pikesville. (But it’s been harder to find lately.)

Someone loves Lucy! 😃

Mrs. Skinsfan is the Lucy fan. She has an entire room dedicated to all things Lucille Ball.

We keep most of the liquor in her "Lucy" room, which is why so many of my whiskey pics have Lucy stuff in the background.

I'm a fan too, the comedy is timeless.

I’ve discussed this with more than a few dudes…Lucy was a damn hottie.  That kinda got lost in her dizzy comedic genius.

Nice lineup. What's the difference between the round and flat bottles?

The round bottles are the blends. The square ones are the sibs. The blends were hard enough to get. But a couple of the sibs were runs in the 50s.

Wow you must indeed have worked hard to find them all.  Congrats 👏

Pikesville has been MIA around here for awhile.  I was so happy to see it again today that I bought one.

 

 

Also picked up the Peerless Double Oak Rye recently and it keeps getting better the more I drink of it.

I’ll admit to being a big Peerless Rye fan, even though the pricing prevents it from being a regular purchase.

Having a predinner pour of Lock Stock & Barrel 13 yr at Mrs Kepler's favorite sushi place.   Love this whiskey.

Wife is happy and so am I.

Win win  😉

Back home now.  The 13 year is really great, but I do prefer the depth of the 16.  Wish I'd picked up more of either of these back then.

Having some of this, inspired by a @Jazz June post in the Empty Bottle thread.
