Corrupting an employee.  So starting gently, oh so gently.

4 pm pour?  Maybe you should clarify what you mean by corrupting an employee.  I only see one glass and one bottle.

Drinking WT101 because I have been working my ass off around the house and I deserve it.

Some days 4 pm arrives too late.  Some days call for extra proof.  Today is such a day.

He's in the other room.  Safer for all.

 

No soup for him today. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson to Tom Cruise " You can't handle the proof!".

Always a solid choice. About to empty a bottle.

A glorious pour OGD 114 is hitting on all cylinders as an end-of-the-day pour.

Upping the ante with a stiff pour of GW4G tonite after a LOOOONG day being a Precinct Warden for two (2) precincts in a local Town election.  Select Board (no longer "Board of Selectmen"), Town Meeting members, and other local posts.  Gotta' love New England - the last bastion of true citizen participation in government.

I remember the old toast, "It's 5:00 somewhere".

I guess you could say, "It's 4:00 somewhere".

Some Rocky Horror Picture Show Action too.  No, not that!  Just the time warp.  Because it stayed 4 o'clock for a while!

Darker than a Trump/Biden lawyer's heart. Just look at that color.

 

I have been "meh" with Peerless bourbons and ryes, event the recent OHLQ store picks. They have flavor, but not enough to cover for what strikes me as "hot & young".  

 

But this.

 

Oh, this.

 

It is really, really good.  So, so much flavor.

 

Store pick.  Worth every last little nickel.

Dark, interesting!

Thanks to some very generous folks (Anwalt and Joe) I received something I would never have been able to find in Europe. An incredible NuLu double oaked single barrel! We managed to exchange it in a very nice weekend in Paris (that deserves another post) and I decided to open it tonight. Really nice, highly appreciated guys!

[markandrex]

Sipping on some Stagg Jr. after some wings.

New Riff Single Barrel. So much flavor.  When we are vibing New Riff is tough to beat!
 

Enjoying with Daisy Jones and The Six. And watching things disappear from my Friday work calendar. I might be starting the weekend….

2,260, tax included.  Bunch of 'em.

I have seen Peerless in my liquor store but the reviews and friends that have a bottle have been uneven so I never jumped in.  So should I invest in a bottle or continue to pass.

If a local bar or friend has a bottle perhaps you can arrange or exchange a pour? Only you will know if it’s good to you. 
I did a tour/tasting last year which was my first experience with them. I was always put off with their pricing and youth. More recently they are at least 4 yrs old ( mostly from what I’ve seen) and the prices have moderated or the market caught up?

I enjoyed the tour and wanted to like it more but found it meh on both the bourbon, rye and “ special” distillery only samples we had. Maybe in a few more years but to my taste it is in the pass category. Anwalt sounds like he came across a honey barrel but I had no such luck though I was hoping I would.

[kcgumbohead]

Last night I had a pour of my JD 107p 6yr old 50/50 whiskey/rye “twins” Tennessee tasters bottle I picked up at the distillery.  Brings me back to my yout as I get a nice candy corn note out of it. Glad I picked this one up.

Woodford Double Oaked. Going to move on to a Calumet 10.
