My double oak is 92%. I'd be happy to do another sample swap. I've got a couple of new purples since the last one we did. I'll send you an email soon. ...

Epic, how does that compare to the double oak you recently got? I have a younger double oak (7 yr) and while good, the cognac finish is a clear step above. I have seen it on secondary for what is nearly identical to retail which kind of blows my mind, especially given what purple tops go for. ...

Happy weekend everyone. Usually don't do so, but had to snap a picture of this Rittenhouse rye Manhattan at a restaurant for posterity. No skimping on the pour. [img]https://i.imgur.com/qcUPleg.jpeg[/img]...

Good evening gentlemen . Glad to hear about the Sazerac timeline TA. I'm definitely interested in adding that to the MM. Starting with a Manhattan. Not included in the picture of ingredients is a tear or two. This was my go to drink at a local restaurant pre covid. 11 bucks. [img]https...

They've been showing off for the last five or six years. The heritage release and special release rye immediately brought in the enthusiasts and forced people to rethink the brand. They have done some innovative things as well such as the single malt and triple mash. The bonded series rye is my go ...

Good evening gentlemen. A bunch of the JD BP ryes dropped locally this week. My understanding is that the stores had no input on these barrels. Just a take it or leave it option. I'm a big fan of that release in general so it's not a deal breaker, but kinda defeats the fun of getting private bar...

The upside is those Kluke batches are released pretty frequently and are very consistent. I was a little worried about quality dropping with bigger batches, but that's not been the case. First for me is a Manhattan. One would think willett could invest in a more reliable cork. At least what's in...

[quote]I don’t have a ton of exposure to scotch,[/quote Same here. I have several expressions of macallan and aberlour, but that's about it in terms of the home bar. I'm not a big fan of peat so look for the ones without it. It tends to overpower the other flavors for me. I have had several expre...

Welcome back epic! I bet that's an especially good pour. t00f, How does the 8 compare to previous releases? I nearly bought it, but still have a good bit left of 6 and 7. I decided to go with a little Bardstown flight tonight. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ggSDsIO.jpeg[/img]...

Good evening gentlemen. Starting with an easy sipping yet complex rye. There's so much fruit and oak to go along with the spice. [img]https://i.imgur.com/TWIZ756.jpeg[/img]...
