Smoke Wagon Small Batch tonight. Not impressed. It doesn't suck, but I won't buy another bottle.

I've been giving this another shot over the last few evenings. I still don't care for it. It is very tanic to me. I don't mind tannins much.... in small doses, but this just lingers on too much for me. I really wanted to like this. I just don't.

Been going back and forth with WT101 8 yr & OGD7. WT is the clear winner for me

Took a break from draining the low-fill JD BP SB to drain another of my 'sample bottles' from some time ago.   

This one was a rather larger one than most; 4-ounces.   It was a Booker's "Bluegrass" from early 2016, almost 128-proof.  (Nearly did me in!)    Not quite as good as the "Toogie's Invitation" Booker's I killed off a week or so ago; but, very nice, as nearly all the Booker's bottles I've ever tasted.    The usual profile: peanut brittle, brown sugar, caramel, and alcohol burn (more so that the Toogie's).     So... another one bites the dust!

Good work Rich!

Russell's Reserve SiB store pick (Tyrone rickhouse A).  Good stuff as always.

Well, it was pretty much a "labor of love" after all, eh?
