Got my first bottle last week and I love it. Very excited that it'll be available in LA starting February.

I think the bottle looks great, but a lot of the Blanton's enthusiasts disagree with that preference

Willette rye is just ok to me. Not my fav by a long shot but I'm also not a big rye drinker. I think my fav so far is Taylor rye...because it doesn't taste like the other ryes I have had.

I'll probably try rock hill tonight for the first time.

Or vw for 8.75 what a good deal! I hope you hurt that bottle for that price lol. That's like beardface 45$ Taylor barrel proofs lol

And angels envy is yummy...

Now that I got the new cabinet, I repurposed the buffet for what it was intended, displaying some glass.

Also added a little Christmas flair to the cabinet

And what the new and improved corner o' fun looks like.

Thanks man! Now I just need your selection. Funny you should mention the couch. I may buy a new one soon that is darker to go with the darker wooden things. I've been looking at this one made by Franklin which is a company based out of Tupelo, MS.

...and it transforms for drinking whiskey

I have that makers sweater on my dickel right now. I put the metal hang tag Martins put on it for there single barrel over it, so the bottle looks like a nerdy 90s gangster.

Sat for 2+ weeks. Honestly so far liking the 50/50 the most. Then 60/40 weller 12. The 60/40 weller 107 is good but we find the others a tad smoother. I'll probably stick with 50/50.
