Saw that and the 15 today. Definitely piqued my curiosity.

Hey Bus, what you think of that High Plains Rye? Has some at my friends house recently and found it surprisingly good. I believe it’s blended by the former 4 Roses master taster.

Found stagg Jr at rouses today. Retail for one of my favorite bottles is a nice early Christmas present. The worst part is the line was twenty deep at customer service so I had to nervously watch each person ahead of me check out.

That’s awesome. Congrats! Which one? I frequent the one on Power. Have found some decent bottles from time to time.

When I won this bottle in a raffle, for a few moments I thought about selling and then I realized I was caving to the masses. I quickly came to my senses and have reverted back to simply enjoying the bourbon. Cheers.

It was pretty good. I'd recommend grabbing a bottle. And you're right, it's blended by Jim Rutledge.

Slidell while visiting family. The WT master's keep was in Thibodaux so I can't complain about my luck for a while. I was a good bit more excited about the Stagg Jr.

That RR13 is fantastic. No gimmicks (unlike what I'm drinking for first pour) and 70 bucks at retail.

1pd is something I got for the willett side of the collaboration.

Merry Christmas Eve gang!

1PD while I get prepared for Klaus

*sodenote: speaking with rep at liquor store today and asking him why the hell scotch is becoming impossible to find. The answer? China! Motherfricking China! Says they are buying up all the stock and making it difficult to get to the rest of us. Just when I thought I couldn’t hate that country more…

Just slide over to Japanese whisky. I don't think the Chinese will be stocking up on those.

Jim Rutledge spoke at a private dinner I attended in Louisville. The guy is super knowledgeable. Four Roses ?? barrel picks are some of my all time favorites. He deserves his spot in the bourbon hall of fame.
