What are you drinking....now?

Stopped by Bardstown Distillery. This is per ounce. It doesn't have the Pappy Family Reserve listed on here. It's the bottle with the wax top. $3800 an ounce. and no, I did not have any from the library. I went with EH Taylor Small batch...$15 for 2 ounces.




Bardstown produces this..not sure if you can find it outside the distillery




I picked up these 2



Not my bottle in below pic, but it's the same thing as what I got

@JohnfromKentucky -  Decent price point for the EH Taylor.  I first had the BBC bourbon Fusion #6 last winter.  They have moved on to Fusion # 7 which I find superior to the 6 and at the same price point-mid $50 for a 750 ml bottle.  FWIW-

#7 was $64 at the distillery

For whatever reason, haven’t snagged Calumet much. Very enjoyable juice.

I like 16 even better. Enjoy.

Glad you all enjoy the Calumet Farms offerings as Citation (from the farm) was a Triple Crown winner in 1948 (did not catch it live...).  Last one til Big Red in 1973.  But I will get back on the rails here-
For the price point $110-130 depending on 14, 15 or 16 yo I would go elsewhere.  I have had a few samplings of those and went in with the expectation of buying but not at those $$.  
However, as is always the case with anything cooked, sampled or offered in the various threads, if you like it, have at it.  FWIW-

I enjoy trying new bottles and haven’t gone through the Calumet vertical. Think I paid around 50 for this. Very cool story, though. I’m still fairly green on the bourbon side and not sure what I would spend $100+ on.  Hard to know what’s worth it and what’s hype.

A very interesting Canadian wine, this is partially aged in maple wood barrels. Great name too.

@lousubcap, one local watering hole made the list. They seemingly do every year. Social is the name of it, way down at the bottom this year

@lousubcap
I have been to a couple of the Houston ones but the one I like the best in the South listing is Valkyrie in Tulsa.    Maybe b/c it's stumbling distance from my hotel but it is a great spot.    Spent much time in that place over the years.

Not tonight, but this weekend it’s on. New Louisiana specific batch

Bourbon slush with some Jameson orange on top. Waiting for the egg to come up to temp for ribs

Dropped in to the annual German-American German Club Oktoberfest.  22 beers from Germany on tap.  In my youth is woulda been dangerous, now just a few great beers.

A brat and a beer are a great combo. Chriskindlemart will be here in Chicago in two months. Great German food and Christmas things.

After a nail-biter of a game today I’ve fallen into something weather appropriate.  

Tito’s, lime mineral water with a lime topper.  Still quite warm down here.  

Happy weekend all!

Bourbon Barrel Tavern is awesome.

What's also nice is that a local place has bourbon by the shot. And some VERY hard to get bourbons. At MSRP.
