Water will kill you 909.... Nightcap --> Angel's Envy bourbon 43.4%

cool

My pour is not much lower than the picture... Any notes on Rye , Al?

This may take a little bit to finish: --> George T Stagg 72.4% (2007 release)

That Red looks Killer - enjoy

The other single I have open: --> Four Roses Single 73-4C 60% (OESK) The First was Binny's (chicago) this one is local -- Traverso's The Mash I have to say that I like this one a bit better that is for sure...

Agreed Al - got one more after this... 60.6% is a lot hotter than my previous beverages.. slowing me down a little bit.

UHF in 1080p !!

That looks pretty Jim... Some more single barrel stuff: --> Four Roses Single 8-4 O 60.6% (OBSK) The Mash

Aye... just checked the name... (and a half bottle)... cool

was just informed (whisky Chat) that the Michter's 10 (7K-3) was really 15yo.. more bank for the buck.. will have to check the stock level

A little 'clear' rye... looks dangerous.. MUST TRY!!!

I am out of Sazerac --- need more! Cheers Shelly

The Bulleit went WAY too fast.... --> Michter's 10 Single Barrel (7K-3) -- (Stitzel - Weller Juice for those who know) Big pour - Bottle Killed!

Some éasy drinking Rye --> Bulleit 95 Rye 45%

a little rye in what is called a whiskey glass - I tend to drink a lot more out of this. -->High West Rendezvous rye 46%

Cheers

booze with a little booze in it... sounds good to me..

Would join you if I had any bitters around here... should be interesting with the port finish...

Just say yes to Hibiki... nice picture

Cheers,

Thank you for sharing that with us Al.. very touching... incredible family.... Was at a wedding this Saturday, made sure to order up a Manhattan and gave a toast with my friend xray. Cheers, Mikey

Zoinks!!

Hey Cee Tee, The Current Macallan 12yo I really like, it has gotten back to the rich sherry notes that I liked in the older ones. I have bought a lot of it (bought 3 of the 1.75L at Costco).. drinking them and will replace when empty. I like the current releases of the 18yo vintage as well 1990+. From about the 1980 vintage to 1988 they where a little dull. I think it was when they were really struggling to get good sherry casks. I don't follow their process to know if they changed any production methodology. I currently have a lot of Macallan 18yo's in stock, so I am not buying new ones. But now that I have tried the new ones. I have no worries about drinking into my stock, because I like the new ones enough for replacements. I have not really liked the 'fine oak' series. When they are older they are drinkable, but not for the price. So I stick on the sherry side of the Macallan fence, and I like it there. I have had the Jefferson's before.. It is nice (don't remember if I had batch 1). It is interesting that it says 'Distilled from Wheat'. It must have at lease 51% corn in it to be called bourbon in the first place, so I guess that most of the rest is wheat? Just not sure what the selling point is. For me right now, I really like the various Four Roses single barrel releases that you can get. With the different sour mash percentages, and yeast selection, can really make a different beverage. Binny's out of Chicago has a lot of the variations. The other is the George T Stagg releases (super high proof). It is more of an extreme bourbon... But truth is, I am drinking more Rye's these days. Cheers, Mikey (I should have sent you a PM, no one wants to read all this crap in a drinking thread!... )
