What I mean is so you get drunk on the high dollar stuff, or do you enjoy one or two and then slam back $20 brown stuff?

I usually start with an allocated pour and then head to a solid store pick after a glass or two.

I actually have my harder to get bottles all the way in the back of my cabinet hoping that my drunk self won't go through the effort.

That works about 50% of the time.

Today is an exception just because I was excited to try this cheap pickup.

FPD: Alberta Rye Dark Batch. For $26 this is really good and interesting in my opinion.

FPD: Bulleit Rye. This is my first time trying Rye in general, and it's not bad.

I have a bottle of Alberta rye. Picked it up at the liquor store owners recommendation. It really is pretty good stuff. I have enjoyed every pour I've had of it.

I was excited to see their entry into the US market. I picked up a bottle each of their 25 and 30 year old ryes a while back in Vancouver for $25 and $45 a few years back. Unbelievable value.

I was just reading up on it and found some interesting info.

45.5% pot still whiskey aged in new charred American oak for 6 years. (Rumored to be the same that became whistlepig)

45.5% column still whiskey aged 12 years in used bourbon barrels

8% Old Grand Dad bourbon

1% Oloroso Sherry

It does not, but it should!

Ho ho ho and a bottle of 2015 OFBB

Damn brah you KILLED that bottle
