@pgprescott Thank you sir. I’ve never had the blue before. I’m more of a single malt guy myself but I’m sure this will not disappoint.

I’m a single malt guy at heart too. Obviously I do not limit myself to that though 😜

if I had to choose one spirit it would be single malt scotch though. No question.

Nice!  I have never had a chance to try the Blue Label.  I bet it is fantastic!  Enjoy.

Please share the review. New one to me. So much whiskey, so little time.

Driftless Glenn. Distilled and bottled in Baraboo Wisconsin. Got a bottle from my bil last Christmas and was very impressed. My expectations were low but it’s a winner. Owners are the Bemis family that made its money in auto dealerships. Hope to do a tour some day. Worth a look. Cheers! 🥃

Enjoying a pout of this magnificent bourbon that was a Christmas present from my son.

Disappointed in this one. I enjoy the standard Basil but this one is just flat to me. Nothing really stands out.

Back to Weller for now

Picked up another Kentucky Spirit and a 10yo Basil Hayden’s. The 10yo Basil intrigued me. It’s ok but not demonstrably different from the original. While there, the owner notified me he had Joseph Magnus Cigar blend coming in today. I came back later and bingo! I’ve been wanting this bottle for a couple years. 🥃

That was my assessment to @saluki2007. Just nothing memorable at all for a ten year. I suppose I should revisit it now that it’s been opened a while. It’s fine but was like you and hoping for better from a 10yr. 

They can’t all be winners!

Yeah, it’s certainly not cheap. Retail is around $250/bottle.  Never had triple bock but from what I have gathered the triple bock is reminiscent of expensive soy sauce lol.

This blend of utopias has Michigan cherries. A very tasty and unique 28% beer.

the triple was more a slow sipping beer, i liked it but the world wasnt ready for it yet. nowadays it would fit right in. that utopia is not easy to find around here, ive never seen one and i like heavy cherry stout type beers so i know i would like that one

I've been holding on to these. I'll have one tomorrow and one Jan 10th. The question is which one first

Wife’s bday. Couldn’t not get it

Caymus and Staggs Leap are my two favorite California vineyards. Great choice

Agreed.

Also, check out the label there - Napa Valley CS produced over the hill in Fairfield. There's a story there. Also, that winery is about 5 miles from here.

Happy New Year!

Just had the weller one recently alongside all of this years barrel variants. It was very tasty!

This is excellent. Got some heat on it. Drop of water really opens it up.

This sounds like an improvement from the Basil Toasted from yesterday

It was basil 10 yo but I’ve heard the toasted is unremarkable as well. 

RagingIrishman

My mistake. I liked Basil when I started my whiskey journey but just find myself enjoying other brands now.
