It looks like a Red-winged blackbird.....

Not sure it's an actual Red-winged Blackbird, since their colors are on the top of their shoulders, and this pic appears to show something "similar-but-not-identical" (no yellow rear-margin to the red/orange patch) but on the bottom of the wing.   The pic is so small though that it doesn't present a definitive ID.   Just my .$02, FWIW ...and it probably ain't worth much more than that.

I had a pour of WTKS today to celebrate my release from rehab hospital.  27 days in surgery/rehab is not fun.  One surgery down, two to go.  
All went well.  Two weeks of outpatient rehab then back to Nashville for evaluation/scheduling of the lumbar portion.

Cheers!

It's good to hear from you.  I'm glad things seem to be moving along.  Maybe you can find some fun things to do in Nashville, or between there and home.  🥃✌️

Knob Creek 12 never disappoints.  And then, suddenly, it does.  When the bottle is empty.  Uh-oh!

I agree. It’s also fairly easy for me to find in my town, and at +/-$65 it’s well worth it to me.

A favorite, for me, also a Mike Andrews fan, mid-late 60s (BOSOX), and Dave Johnson (Orioles), same time-frame.

I’ll add a ditch parrot (aka pheasant), some quail and an occasional partridge to the party with my best springer spaniel at my side

 

Top it all off with a splash of Wild Turkey sauce after the hunt and you have a slice of heaven :}

Very nice, dark cherries, cinnamon, vanilla, tabacco, and licorice. The heat disapate's pretty quickly, never really notice this before in any other bourbon, lol

Typed too fast in post above and guess I didn't notice when posting, but my post should have read "I'm not usually a fan of FINISHED bourbons."   Bourbon and Scotch are my favorite spirits, but will also enjoy a rye or an Irish Whiskey on occasion.

I just ordered one which will hopefully arrive on Friday. I am looking forward to this one. Now if I could find the port finished variety for a good price, that would be great but I don’t think that’s likely

Remus 6. Always enjoyable. I love when brands indicate the blending percentages. Just a skosh of 14 year!

I've tired of my emptying of low-fill bottles (actually I only have a couple that are much below half now).   It became something of a duty, and seemed to limit my choices unnecessarily.   Not really, I guess; but, I digress.

I also have decided to take a break from draining the 'sample bottles' of "spectacular" pours from years gone by, though I still probably have 2-or-3-dozen remaining; maybe more, If I cared to search 'em out.

Anyway, yesterday, I pulled down my last (a small tear fell just then) family sized jug of Old Forester Signature.   I really liked this brand, and have been nearly universally disappointed by the several efforts by BF to replace it over the last few (what? 9) years.    I'll have none left whenever I drain the last of this big bottle.   I never "bunkered" much of it, and should have.    I did grab a few 'extra' bottles at the end, before the brand disappeared from shelves; and I had snagged a few here and there whenever I was in a state that offered discount pricing (The Mitten State forbids that).   It was always a very regular pour for me, and not building up a 'stock' was short-sighted, I now see.   It was never a high-cost pour to begin with!      I was a fool!   There, I said it.

Tried 2 different ER10 store picks against ER12 last night. 

One of the ER10 was noticeably better than the other. The ER12 was noticeably better than that. Given that I wouldn't go much over msrp for it. The guy who bought it gave about 125 for it.
